A big announcement was dropped at a launch event for the new Scooby-Doo x Miss Frandy makeup line in Brazil (which was announced in Scoobtober)! At the event, an overview of the franchise was shown during the presentation. During this overview, it was announced that a brand new Scooby-Doo project, titled Scooby-Doo! Gokko, is set to be released in 2027! For context, a Tom & Jerry anime series named Tom & Jerry Gokko was released in Japan in 2022. The series recently made its international debut on YouTube. It's possible that Scooby-Doo! Gokko may be the Go-Go Mystery Machine series announced in June 2024, under a different name. No further information about the show was announced at the presentation, but stay tuned for more updates!

Thanks to Scubidu for sharing this info with me! Credit also goes to him for the above image.

In the original concept for Mysteries Five, the gang had a fifth teenager named Mike. Originally, Mike was the one to wear the ascot, but it was later given to Fred. Another early version of the show had Shaggy (then named W.W.) as Velma (then named Linda)'s brother.

Thanks to Alexandra Rutt for suggesting this week's fun fact, which was inspired by a post from the Hanna-Barbera Wiki on Bluesky.

I've been having a blast with the "multiple villains" poll series this past week! There are a few other scattered episodes and movies throughout the franchise that have tons of monsters without much screen time. Since it seems like others have been really enjoying the switch-up with the polls too, there are a handful of other episodes I thought it might be fun to do these polls for! This one doesn't *quite* fit the category, but it is my favorite of the franchise lol, so I still wanted to do a poll for it! There are four movies and three episodes I'd like to do these polls for, which we'll do over the coming weeks. There's also a poll someone suggested that I've held back for a while (since we've been busy with other poll series), so we'll be taking a brief break from these next week to finally do that one!

Without further ado, it's time to reveal the results from The New Scooby-Doo Movies "multiple villains" poll series! Looks like Mr. Hyde from The New Scooby-Doo Movies wins the final round by a large margin.

Mr. Hyde (The New Scooby-Doo Movies) - 18
