Ghostbusters: Afterlife: Bill Murray reacts to the Mini-Pufts scene

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Ever since Sony Pictures Releasing unleashed a clip from Ghostbusters: Afterlife revealing the existence of Mini Stay-Puft marshmallow men, the internet has been abuzz with reactions to the impish confectionary characters. Well, now it's time to find out what Bill Murray thinks of the mischievous minis.

Ivan Reitman recently shared the clip with Murray for an Entertainment Weekly exclusive, and Murray's reaction is about what you'd expect – pure joy.

"That's funny. I'd never seen any of that," Murray told Reitman. "That looks good. That's got the feel, doesn't it?"

The Mini-Pufts are, of course, a nod to the mammoth and monstrous marshmallow man for the original Ghostbusters film. While the original could crush you with one swipe of his humongous hand, the new Mini-Pufts are gremlin-like menaces that love to antagonize in large numbers. My initial reaction to the scene looked a little something like this, but hey, if it's good enough for Bill Murray, right?

Here's the official synopsis for Ghostbusters: Afterlife: 

After being evicted from their home, two children and their single mother move to a farm inherited from their late grandfather, located in Summerville, Oklahoma. When the town experiences a series of unexplained earthquakes, the children discover their family’s link to the original Ghostbusters, who have become something of a myth as many have long since forgotten the events of the Manhattan Crossrip of 1984. They discover the secret legacy that their grandfather left behind.

The film also stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, and Mckenna Grace, while original Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts also reprise their roles.
