Me trying to figure out how long it took to make Scooby Goes Hollywood for maximum emotional impact and getting nothing from Google
Do we think it took longer than three months
#aaaagghhh#blah#because like OKAY. i would just like to know if goes hollywood is a post scrappy or a pre scrappy invention#because like it was aired pretty much 3 months after the introduction of scrappy in sept 1979. and it was the first time scooby had done#anything remotely like it. its less than an hour long. but the level of care and quality put into it is WELL beyond the level of any scooby#before it (or after it until the mid 90s tbh)#it had original (ish) music. it had around 10 different parodies of popular media. it had the most successful scooby metanarrative pretty#pretty much ever. it feels like a goodbye. and in a way it very much is.#and im just curious how much the introduction of scrappy and sd's dire situation played a role in the shaping of this film.#because like do we think this was a film concieved as a farewell to scooby as a continually producing franchise? do we think its one to#mark the end of the classic era and welcome the scooby to come after? like what is the INTENTION behind it and how was the message altered?#THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.#because like scooby really was the only hanna barbera to survive continually. shows like yogi and the flintstones the jetsons etc had their#two three seasons and then were keot alive culturally through reruns and saturday morning cartoons with a special released maybe once a#decade. and something something my generation and down really started becoming the death of that.#like with my age group it isnt as bad just bc we did watch cable as (young) kids there were just lots of options so less ppl were watching#stuff like that but ESPECIALLY once you get into streaming so many of those classic shows are not going to be as relevant EXCEPT for scooby#as it had the advantage of also producing new content at the same time as the reruns of old shows and movies. but that really is sometjing#so essential to an understanding of scooby in my opinion. its that folding of all these different versions of these characters from dozens#of sources into one picture. you cant just click a series and watch all of whats new or sdmi and get it. seeing things from all eras random#ly and folding it into your image of scooby as a whole is something SO essential to the experience the way i lived it and its one i feel is#hurting in the streaming era. anyways that got super off topic uh buy old compilation dvds from 2007 and wb or cn or hbo or whoever owns#scooby now online let me compile themed groups of eps and movies from all different eras#there should be a winter scooby themed group with stuff from way all thru be cool (and guess if applicable) amen good night#im so surprised i didnt run out of tags there wtf
