The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies

Like most 80's kids, I grew up enjoying Scooby-Doo and many other Hanna-Barbera characters. The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies is a nice collection of episodes from the popular TV series. I regret that either more collections and/or the entire 2-season set of The New Scooby-Doo Movies hasn't been released.

According to Wikipedia:
"Upon attempting to release The New Scooby-Doo Movies on DVD in 2005, Warner Home Video was unable to negotiate agreements with several of the episodes' guest stars to have those episodes included in the DVD set. As a result, the DVD was released under the title The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, and features fifteen episodes culled from both seasons.

Furthermore, the images of The Addams Family, Batman & Robin, The Globetrotters, The Three Stooges, and Laurel & Hardy were voluntarily removed from The New Scooby-Doo Movies' opening titles, as their rights were controlled by their copyright owners. In Batman and Robin's case, this is despite the fact that they and their comics publisher, DC Comics, are part of the same Warner Bros. family as Scooby-Doo and the Hanna-Barbera library."

I hope that Warner will be able to release the rest of this series in the future. That way, fans can enjoy episodes featuring the following guest stars: Phyllis Diller, Josie & The Pussycats, Jeannie, Sonny & Cher, Sandy Duncan, Tim Conway, The Addams Family, Davy Jones, and Jerry Reed.

A weak attempt

The problem is, the best episodes from this series are not included in this set! For whatever reason, several episodes are missing! THEY NEED TO RELEASE THE OTHER EPISODES! May 30, 2008

Waste

I saw the epsiode of Laurel and Hardy and I really enjoyed it. I love Three Stooges and Batman and Robin so I bought this set. I really made a mistake in buying this set. I dont know when these movies were made but I wish they would have the real Three Stooge voices, seeing how they were making cartoons around this time as well. Batman and Robin just look plain awful and the rest of the set is really bad. I own the first set, the orginal Scooby Doo show and thats the only set that fans need. February 10, 2008

Scooby-fanatic wants More!

While the episodes contained on this release are good enough. I find myself missing some of my favorites ... Scooby Doo Meets Sandy Duncan ... The Addamms Family ... Sonny and Cher ... Phylis Diller ... And I am sure there are others. I can only hope that the rest of these great eps will be released on dvd SOON! December 18, 2007
