I thought this was an average but enjoyable episode! Jessica Biel's presence in the episode didn't seem super prominent to me, she sort of felt like she was just there. I was a little disappointed by the villain being just a plain gorilla (though, spoilers, it was funny that it ended up being a gorilla in a gorilla suit) haha. The masked person was kind of a lame villain as well, as they've done that so many times. I liked the jungle setting as well, and it was cool how they reused the audio clip from the island in "Hassle in the Castle" at the beginning of this episode again (just like in "Lost Soles of Jungle River!"). Scooby and the leopard cub was also super cute and reminded me a lot of Scooby with the chick in "Jeepers, It's the Creeper" and the frog in "Mamba Wamba and the Voodoo Hoodoo."
Overall, it was an interesting episode but it wasn't anything special, even though it was by no means a bad episode. This ranks 36/45 for me. Star-Studded Scoreboard: 1. I Put a Hex on You! 2.

In addition to the four Where Are You novels we just got in February, four more Scooby-Doo novelizations of classic Scooby-Doo mysteries will be released. The books are all hardcover and are written by John Sazaklis and illustrated by Christian Cornia. The three novels include "The Captain's Curse" (a novelization of "A Clue for Scooby-Doo"), "Monster Marsh" (a novelization of "The Beast is Awake in Bottomless Lake") and "The Gold Miner's Treasure" (a novelization of "Mine Your Own Business"). A release date in the United States has not been announced. However, you can pre-order these books for $25.32 each at Target. In addition, Amazon Japan lists another title "Redbeard's Revenge" (a novelization of "Go Away Ghost Ship") which will be out August 1 there. They also have the cover for "The Gold Miner's Ghost."

That is, until the appearance of the ghost of Johnny Appleseed threatens to close down the orchard for good. Can Mystery Inc. find a way to trap the ghost before it’s too late? Here are the results from last week:

Sean Astin was an amazing guest star and I loved that he's basically just living his Lord of the Rings role here haha. All the little puns and references to Lord of the Rings were a lot of fun and the monster was so cool-looking! I do wish they'd given him a more unique name than "Green Man Monster" (according to the credits), but oh well. The setting of the hardware store was pretty unique. The only thing I felt was a little cringey was Velma's "mansplaining" joke, which felt a bit forced to me. Otherwise, this was one of my favorite episodes and barely makes the top 10. This knocks "Elementary, My Dear Shaggy!" out of the top 10 and takes the #10 spot.

The monster was super cool, but Lucy's inclusion felt sort of run-of-the-mill. The "Scooby Dooby Doo and Lucy Lucy Liu" joke got old after a bit. The joke with Velma's call in Italian went on a bit too long. Overall, this was by no means a bad episode, but it was very average and nothing particularly memorable. This ranks #32/43 for me.

A Mystery Solving Gang Divided "It's Mean, It's Green, It's the Mystery Machine" from What's New, Scooby-Doo? is known for having a numerous amount of animation errors. These include:
Thanks to Ben for pointing out the last of these errors, which I had missed! Here are the results from last week:
What is your favorite vampire villain from a Scooby episode or movie? Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats - 24 Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire - 15 A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts - 8 Scooby-Doo!

By process of elimination, most people assumed the one episode we did not have a full description for was the KISS episode. However, it appears the KISS episode has been scrapped, as "The Legend of the Gold Microphone!" description was just revealed and it doesn't mention Gene Simmons at all, but rather Joseph Simmons aka Reverend Run from Run DMC. Given all the other guest stars have been announced, the KISS episode must have been scrapped for some reason. Here's the full description of this episode from Foxtel AU:
Our mystery teens work with Joseph "Run" Simmons (aka Reverend Run) originally of Run DMC to get to the bottom of the mystery of the ghost of a famous bandleader from the 1930s haunting a hip-hop youth center in Harlem. |
