Decades ago, WB cut an approximately minute long scene from “The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair” (The New Scooby-Doo Movies) featuring Batman and the gang right before they enter the toy factory at the end of the episode. After 34 years of the scene being lost, not even included on the DVD or digital releases, the scene was discovered on a VHS tape recording that a fan had of the episode from 1986, the last time this scene was ever aired on TV. Check it out above!

THIS IS SO COOL!!!! One of my favourite classic eps 5/26/2020 10:19:14 pm
I had previously heard rumors about this scene and thought it was fake! So cool to know that it's real though!

Not to distract from this too much but I have a friend who's FB friends with Tom Minton and he told me something interesting. The reason why Joe Barbera was credited on Homeward Hound was because the episode was a reworked version of a unmade Scooby-Doo movie that Joe and Iwao Takamoto had worked on. Joe had came up with the story and Iwao had storyboarded a good portion of it. 5/26/2020 10:21:41 pm
Wow! That could have been a really interesting idea for a film. Must have been a decently old storyboard too if Joe and Iwao worked on it together. That makes it even cooler though that they still were able to make the storyboard into its own episode even though HB wasn't around anymore at the time of the episode's release.

Speaking of unmade movies, did you see that website with all the concept art for SCOOB?

I did see that! It looked super cool! I would have posted it on the blog, but my computer broke down (worst time for that to happen, for the record. Thoroughly don't recommend haha) and is being repaired, so I've been trying to keep the posting to a minimum since it's near impossible to try to make posts on Weebly's mobile app. I made this one on the app yesterday since it was important, and I got super lucky in that the next two weeks of fun facts and polls were already drafted up and ready to post.

This is why I'm so annoyed with the New Scooby Doo Movies, so much lost content in them. Some episodes barely make sense anymore whilst others make references to things that no longer happen in them. 5/27/2020 10:13:31 am
I would respectfully disagree with that. I don't think there's been so much content lost that you can't make sense of anything. This was only a 45 second clip and while it explained about the toy factory, it was nothing we couldn't figure out ourselves from context clues. I do plan to rewatch the episode with this scene soon just to see how it pieces together. But yeah, the references to things that no longer happen are a problem if scenes were actually cut out of them, which I haven't seen any evidence of yet (the scenes in question could have just been from an early draft that were pulled last minute, and we don't need to see it on screen for it to make sense). This missing scene surfacing does make me wonder if th is a scenes are still out there missing though.

Unsure on that. I know the shark island episode seems to have a whole scene of Shaggy and Scooby in the kitchen and the dumbwaiter previously missing. I understand what you are saying though, could just be due to errors in editing. I'm sure there is a scene missing in the Sandy Duncan episode, why else is that gorilla in the opening credits? Still as you say we can't be sure. 5/27/2020 04:51:02 pm
I'm always a little more on the cautious side when it comes to rumors like these, but this scene surfacing definitely calls a lot into question. I don't remember that dumbwaiter thing being missing. Or the kitchen scene? Where in the episode was that?

28:37 - Shaggy in the kitchen refers to "That little elevator we rode in last night" when there was no prior clip of this from what I remember in the episode, sure there was more though. 5/28/2020 09:51:05 am
Yep, I remembered King Kong but had forgotten about the "little elevator" scene.

Wow, that's super cool! It's amazing that some pieces of lost media can still be found after all this time.

By *All* New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show, do you mean The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries? 5/29/2020 03:29:38 pm
I was going to ask that as well, because those two are the same series. It is odd they put Scrappy on there. I wonder why!

Becker: I don't have HBO Max myself yet, so I got this information from a friend. I also thoughy that by "All New Scrappy," he meant "New SD Mysteries," although he mentions Yabba-Doo as though it were the last thing to appear chronology-wise, so that would actually place the most recent Scooby animated thing at 1982. Perhaps the four names he mentions just refer to the first four Scrappy seasons, as there was a bit of retooling each time. 6/3/2020 09:04:48 am
Maybe they meant the Richie Rich / Scooby-Doo Show instead of the *All New*? I'm not sure though, as I don't have HBO Max.

Yeah, "Richie Rich" seems likely. The tricky thing about the "Scrappy" seasons of the '80s is that there didn't seem to be a lot of clear, consistent naming. They were bundled together with other shows when they originally aired, then given the generic "Scrappy" intro when they went into syndicated reruns, and now it sounds like they might be relabeling them again based on the individual segments. It's all kind of confusing, really. :) 6/5/2020 10:41:38 am
It is weird how they changed the title for syndication, and then changed it back again for when they put the DVD out in 2008. The generic Scrappy intro was actually only used in syndication. They just slapped on the first season's intro to all the seasons, hence why Daphne, Velma and Fred still appear at the end. There is an actual intro for each of the individual shows (i.e. Richie Rich, Puppy Hour, etc.) as you'll see in my editorial post I just posted today. 5/29/2020 01:40:49 pm
No worries about posting it on an unrelated thread! I appreciate you sharing the info! It's disappointing to hear that there's not much Scooby on there, but I guess we should be thankful whenever Scooby stuff is posted anywhere! I wonder if Boomerang and HBO Max will combine at some point, or if it will become the new home for Guess Who. I guess only time will tell!

In the Civic Mindedness events, Olan Soule's Batman gives Adam West's Batman a run for his money. 5/29/2020 06:30:43 pm
Hahaha I love Olan Soule's gentlemanly Batman. He seems so kind and earnest lol. Leave a Reply. |
