Behind the scenes

A monster on the plane evokes the Twilight Zone episode "Terror at Twenty Thousand Feet."
Mr. HB is named after Hanna-Barbera.
The way the gang looks up from their book after the wind blows is reminiscent of them looking up from their book in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "What a Night for a Knight."
When the gang is sent back in time, moments from their past adventures are shown: Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo!, Scooby-Doo! Moon Monster Madness, the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "Beware the Beast from Below," Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, a scene from the Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! theme song, The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries episode "A Night Louse at the White House," The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode "Ghastly Ghost Town," a scene from Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?, Scooby-Doo! and the Beach Beastie, and the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo theme song.
The way Fred is reminded of his dad when Velma describes King Arthur as an authoritarian dictator, seems more like a reference to Fred Jones Sr. from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated than Skip Jones from Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!
The wizard hat Velma wears is an allusion to Mickey Mouse's wizard hat in the 1940 film Fantasia.
Winston mentions the 1941 film Citizen Kane.

Errors

Scooby's ancestor came with Shaggy's ancestor on the Mayflower in The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show episode "Wedding Bell BOOs!" Although it's possible the Doos had come from Denmark before arriving in England.
Truth be told, the scenes from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! shouldn't have been included as they exist in their own isolated universe. Yes, Scooby-Doo can be that complex.
