Scooby Doo is a long franchise created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1960's, and it’s wild to think how many different forms it’s taken over the decades. From the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! with its classic monster-of-the-week formula, to the more comedic takes like A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, and even the darker, more serialized Mystery Incorporated, the gang has been reimagined countless times.We’ve had direct-to-video movies like Zombie Island and Witch’s Ghost that pushed the franchise into more supernatural territory, live-action adaptations in the early 2000s, and even crossover specials with Batman, WWE, and more. Each era has its own flavor, whether it’s campy, spooky, or tongue-in-cheek.So, /co/, what’s your favorite Scooby-Doo movie and which show do you think nailed the formula best?Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
I always liked the way they ran away
I have an issue whenever they make Fred taller than Shaggy in some content. It's not right, if Shaggy's not the tallest, then he's just...some skinny guy. >>151937486>what’s your favorite Scooby-Doo movieCyber Chase. The trapped in a game concept was always really appealing to me as a kid when I first got into the franchise.>which show do you think nailed the formula bestWhere are You and What's New are considered the standard, but I thought Be Cool did a good job of using the same formula while enhancing the comedy.
>>151937486I always liked What's New Scooby-Doo. It was a pretty solid take on the original formula while also adding some of its own little unique jokes. Like the group shakeup jokes with Shaggy and Fred splitting up together and not having anything in common or Velma taking off with Scooby and having a great time goofing off and not caring. Musical segments were fun as I recall as well. I liked that it also kept the idea that maybe there was supernatural stuff out there. Hinting at an outwardly confirming it sometimes.
>>151937486>Favorite Scooby-Doo MovieThat's a good question. I could go on about Scooby-Doo movies. I really like Camp Scare and Witches Ghost. I think they both do a really good job walking the line between the standard formula and mixing things up. They also have really visual interesting monsters that properly utilized and they introduce new fans favorite characters. That being said the're so many fun and underrated movies it's hard to pick just one.>The Scooby-Doo FormulaThe orginal show, it created it. But the Scooby-Doo Show deserves a lot of credit for showing you can continue doing it with out the need for celebrity guests.What do you like OP?
>>151937486Zombie Island's probably my favorite movie. I also have a fondness for The Boo Brothers movie because I like the "Scavenger Hunt" aspect in it.I really feel like the original "Where Are You?" ever properly used it's format. I guess "The Scooby Doo Show" had its times too.
god i want to breed her so bad
>>151939848Oh and I liked A Pup Named Scooby Doo alot as a kid. being a dumb kid and not understanding the show was made after the Original series I always wished Red Herring would show up in Scooby Doo Where Are You or one of the other series when they're grown.
Recently tried to watch the new scooby doo and scrappy show. Only got through the first two episodes, it's very weak.
>>151940333Is that the one with no mysteries and just cartoon shenanigans?
This has been brought up on this board before, but I still want a new series set in the 60s again. Doesn’t need to change the formula much or be too dark or historically focused, it just has to have the aesthetics and cultural vibe
It would be a fresh take to see the gang solving mysteries in a analog world were they creators don't have to force them in to modern trends.
