 Just in time for the holiday season, the tenth second-season episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, "Scroogey Doo," has been finally released on the Boomerang VOD streaming service! Additionally, two other winter themed movies, "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo" (2007) and "Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays" (2012) have also been added to the streaming services. However, unlike the Halloween episode, which fans were able to watch without a subscription to the streaming service, all three of these new additions require a current subscription in order to view them. Boomerang has also added a new "gifting" feature to the service, where you are able to purchase 1-year subscriptions as gifts for your friends and family for $39.99. Check out all the content on the streaming service, new and old, at Boomerang.com!
Thanks so much to BCSD Fan for sharing the info with me!

 We finally have some breaking news on the next Scooby-Doo film...but it's not what you would have expected. According to Deadline, a live-action Scooby-Doo movie will be released sometime in 2018. Taking the franchise in a different direction, the film will focus solely on Daphne and Velma before they met Fred, Shaggy and Scooby and is currently titled "Daphne and Velma." The film will be a collaboration between Warner Brothers Studios, Blue Ribbon Entertainment and Blondie Girl Productions. Blondie Girl is owned by Jennifer and Ashley Tisdale, the later of which is most famous for voicing the character Sharpay Evans in Disney's High School Musical. Actress Sarah Jeffery has been cast in the role of Daphne, and Sarah Gilman (another Disney star, best known for her lead role as Delia on the Disney Channel original series I Didn't Do It) will play Velma. Both are pictured below.  Sarah Jeffery (Daphne) and Sarah Gilman (Velma) Through Deadline, Warner Brothers also has released a summary of the film: Before their eventual team-up with Scooby and the gang, bright and optimistic Daphne and whip-smart and analytical Velma are both mystery-solving teens who are best friends but have only met online — until now. Daphne has just transferred to Velma’s school, Ridge Valley High, a tech-savvy institute with all the latest gadgets provided by the school’s benefactor, tech billionaire Tobias Bloom. And while competition is fierce among the students for a coveted internship at Bloom Innovative, Daphne and Velma dig beyond all the gadgets and tech to investigate what is causing some of the brightest students in school to disappear — only to emerge again in a zombie-fied state. In an interview with Deadline, the Tisdale sisters revealed that the movie would present Daphne and Velma in much more feminist and empowering way than the characters have been portrayed in the past. "Blondie Girl is committed to telling stories from a female perspective, and we could not be more thrilled to give Daphne and Velma their own story. It’s so exciting to partner with Warner Home Entertainment and Blue Ribbon Content to introduce a new generation to the smart, charismatic, fearless females that we all know and love." Executive vice president of both Warner Brothers Home Entertainment and Blue Ribbon, Peter Girardi, gives some insight on how the idea for this film was thought up. "We wanted to give the audience a new take on these two familiar faces, who are fan favorites in the Scooby-Doo universe. Daphne and Velma are two iconic and strong female characters, and this latest adventure of theirs will be both inspiring and entertaining for the audience." The current lineup of producers for "Daphne and Velma" include Ashley and Jennifer Tisdale, Amy Kim, Jaime Burke and Suzi Yoonessi. Yoonessi also serves as a director. The film will be written by Caitlin Meares and Kyle Mack, with additional production services being provided by Lifeboat Productions. It is unknown if this will be a theatrical film, or simply another DTV. However, this is a separate project from the previously announced film, formerly known as S.C.O.O.B.. With this movie taking such a different direction than what we've seen for Scooby in these past 48 years, what are your thoughts on a movie with a more feminist focus?  Last week on Instagram, KISS lead guitarist Tommy Thayer announced that he was currently doing voiceovers for a sequel to 2015's Scooby-Doo and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery. Not much is known about the second collaboration between Scooby and KISS at the moment, other than the fact that Gene Simmons is also featured in the picture which Tommy Thayer posted on Instagram. Stay tuned for more updates!
 According to a listing on Amazon, a new compilation DVD set entitled "Scooby-Doo and the Movie Monsters" will be released on February 6, 2018. The set will include a total of 3 episodes including "Never Ape an Ape Man" and "Nowhere to Hyde" from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, in addition to "That's Monstertainment" from The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. Though Amazon doesn't yet have an image of the DVD cover, I did a bit of researching and found the DVD cover (pictured above) on Barnes and Noble.com. Here is the back cover description from Amazon:
Cinema creatures give Scooby-Doo an attack of monster mania! In Never Ape an Ape Man, Daphne's film producer uncle hires the gang as extras on the set of his latest picture. Then, Scooby and the gang get sucked into the television by Zomba, the ghoulish TV show hostess in That's Monstertainment. And on their way home from the Malt Shop, the gang encounters a jewel thief with Nowhere to Hyde. Now they must help solve the case before the thief turns into a mad scientist. Bwahahahaha! Grab some popcorn and watch some scary film fun with Scooby-Doo!  The final time that Don Messick voiced Scooby was not in Arabian Nights in 1994 as most fans believe. Messick provided the voice of Scooby for the final time before his passing in the video game Scooby-Doo! Mystery and is featured in the credits for the game.

 Seeing as many of us will be watching the final unreleased episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo this afternoon, I thought I'd make this week's fun fact Be Cool Scooby-Doo themed, as sort of a final sendoff to the show.
"Party Like It's 1899" is aired as the second episode of the series in all other countries other than the United States, which airs it as the eighth episode. Additionally, the Boomerang streaming service lists it as the second episode as well (though several other episodes are in alternate orders as well).  Thanks to Amazon, we now have further details on the DVD back cover art, which includes the running time of the movie and bonus features. The movie will be 75 minutes long (an updated running time from Amazon's original information, which listed 72 minutes) and the only bonus features will be the two episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies which Batman guest starred in ("The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair" and "The Caped Crusader Caper"). The movie is also now up for pre-order on Amazon.
Here's the description for the movie, taken from the back cover: When Scooby-Doo and the gang run into notorious crooks that are too hot to handle, the caped crusader himself, Batman swings in to save the day! After an unsolved case from Batman’s past comes back to haunt him, and the mysterious Crimson Cloak threatens to take over Gotham, Batman recruits Mystery Inc. to help crack the case. Will their teamwork be enough to solve the mystery and foil the plans of the most dangerous rogue villains the world has ever known? Pack your utility belts with gadgets and Scooby Snacks to find out, as you takeoff for a wild crime-busting thrill ride of a caper!  It's been 2 years, 1 month and 8 days since the first episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo originally premiered on Cartoon Network. Now, in less than a week, the elusive 24th episode of season 2 will be finally available for fans to watch. According to TVGuide UK, the last unreleased 11 minute shorts, "Pizza O'Possum's" and "The Curse of Half Beard's Booty" will both air Monday, November 13 on Boomerang UK. Oddly enough, this means Zap2it was right all along with the November 13 world premiere date, although every other Season 2 airdate they list is incorrect (in addition to them now bizarrely listing random combinations of rerun episodes as "new" episodes). The final episode, which will conclude the series (since the show was not renewed for a third season), will air on Boomerang UK at 5:00pm and again at 7:30pm. No further information about the episode's plot or villains have been made available at this time.
