Home availability
- In Australia:
- Late 1980s(?): Rainbow's Children Video releases Scooby-Doo Meets the Addams Family on VHS.
- Except for the aforementioned fluke release, in later years, legal clearances have since prevented this to be released onto VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. This is one of the reasons why Warner Home Video had to release the series as The Best of The New Scooby-Doo Movies on DVD on March 22, 2005, and was the sole reason Warner Home Video had to call their new DVD and Blu-ray restoration of the series The New Scooby-Doo Movies: The (Almost) Complete Collection on July 1, 2019.
