scooby doo batman the brave and the bold full movie

With more pronounced violence/scariness (the gang accidentally rips off a zombie’s head thinking it’s a mask) and lush artwork from Japanese studio Mook Animation, it felt like a bold reinvention that still maintains all of the classic elements from the beloved series. The first – and most important – of these films is Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, the first canonical Scooby-Doo story to feature actual supernatural elements (“It must be animatronic!” Fred wails), something that SCOOB continues with thanks to a convoluted plot involving the gates of the underworld. Reruns of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You became an ironic, Gen-X staple during the 1990s, partially fueled by the nonstop reruns on new cable channel Cartoon Network and the kind of detached nostalgia for earlier cultural product that could be deemed “kitschy.” This led to a series of handsomely produced direct-to-video films at the end of the decade.

Is a perfect example of the concept’s uncanny ability to be updated for a new generation of fans, with the characters (now lovingly rendered in 3D computer animation) joining forces with other Hanna-Barbera characters for a globe-trotting supernatural adventure. But the characters were so lovable and the central conceit of a bunch of groovy teenagers seeking out mysteries so undeniable, that it was constantly rebooted, retrofitted, and revamped – as TV movies, live-action features, direct-to-video productions and more. If you’ve seen SCOOB !, the all-new, very charming computer animated Scooby-Doo adventure, then chances are that you’re also struck with a highly potent burst of nostalgia, along with the longing to further explore the Scooby-Doo universe (Doo-niverse?), a franchise that has been more or less unstoppable since the late 1960s.Ĭreated by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears for Hanna-Barbera Productions, the original series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (don’t ask why it ends with an exclamation point and not a question mark) ran for just two seasons (it was revived later for a third) and a total of 25 episodes.
