Fun Fact of the Week #225

The Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown and Scooby-Doo & Batman: The Brave and the Bold DVDs both feature "Ghastly Ghost Town," "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair" as bonus episodes. However, despite that the original Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies DVD set had to edit out images of certain celebrities from the intro, both of the bonus episodes on these DVDs feature the original intro including the celebrities who have refused to allow their episodes to be released.

Additionally, "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair," "The Loch Ness Mess" and "The Mystery of Haunted Island" all have the original, unedited intro on the Boomerang streaming service.

It remains uncertain if this was an error, or if WB is in negotiation with these celebrities to allow their episodes to be released on home media.

Thanks so much to Deandre for coming up with this fun fact!

Very interesting! I'll have to check the other DVD covers, but I think all the other ones have her scarf the correct color. Do you want this to be posted as a fun fact (crediting you for sharing it of course)? If so, it would be posted on 2/25. Let me know.

I have the Shaggy's Showdown DVD and I can't say I remember seeing the unedited opening in the bonus episode. I'll have to check again.

Huh. I don't personally have the DVD (I have the digital version); just going off of what Deandre told me. You live in Greece though, so would your DVD be from a different region? That could explain the difference. Let me know what you find when you check if it's not too much trouble!

I did check and it's the edited intro. I doubt it has to do with regions though.

Explanation I can offer: The Greek DVD of Shaggy's Showdown likely uses PAL masters for all of the bonus episodes. Currently, in the strictly continental PAL territories (so not the UK, which still uses the old Turner masters) that show New Movies, Boomerang uses the remastered episodes with the censored intro, so I could be possible that the division of Warner Home Video that handled the PAL version of the DVD simply used those masters instead of the older Turner ones.

I have also just ordered the domestic, Region 1 NTSC versions of both movies' DVDs to confirm or deny this information. Could be that Warner caught onto the issue and ordered a new authoring for the discs. I'll be able to find out through the "date modified" on the VIDEO_TS folders themselves.

@Scoobyfan4ever / Deandre Oh, no, I didn't think you had made it up. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was. It's possible there are different versions of the DVD.

Confirmed both NTSC versions of the DVDs have the uncensored season 1 intro from the Turner masters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOLkPxa0duQ
