The New Scooby-Doo Movies is an animated mystery comedy TV series produced by Hanna-Barbera (H-B) for CBS' Saturday morning children's programming. It ran from 1972-1973, airing 25 episodes. It was the second Scooby-Doo series after Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

The format is essentially the same, with the title character, Scooby-Doo, solving mysteries with his four teenage friends, who are collectively known as Mystery Inc., only this time they are joined by celebrities of the time (usually voiced by themselves), such as Sonny Bono & Cher, Don Knotts, Tim Conway, Sandy Duncan, including those deceased such as Laurel & Hardy. In addition to real-life people being animated, they were also aided by fictional characters licensed to Hanna-Barbera, such as Batman and Robin, the Addams Family, and Josie and the Pussycats, and Speed Buggy. Some of these had already been animated for TV by Hanna-Barbera, like Josie and the Pussycats, and Speed Buggy, while the Addams Family were given their own show, while Batman and Robin were the co-stars of Super Friends, by the time The New Scooby-Doo Movies was nearing its end. While most only appeared once, others were popular enough to appear a couple of times, where as the Harlem Globetrotters appeared in three episodes that spanned across the two seasons made.

Development

Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the creators of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, were not involved with this incarnation. The name seems to come from the fact that it is longer and length and inspired by the movies of Abbott & Costello against monsters such as Frankenstein's monster.

The first season was animated in the United States, while the second season was animated in Hanna-Barbera's then new Australian-based studio.
