Scoob!
Scoob!Is one of those moving picture that does a outstanding sight to rejuvenate the Hanna - Barberabrand . These are reference , after all , that have tempt children of all ages for several decades , and this film shows why they go on to be democratic . While , patently , Scooby and the gang are the most important thing about this new cinema , there are quite a few Easter egg scattered throughout the entire film that give it an added layer of joy for those who experience their Hanna - Barbera cartoons .
From Magilla to Gorilla and Penelope Pitstop , there are numerous quotation to some of the most democratic Saturday morning toon characters .
A Reference To Casey Kasem
Though Casey Kasem was most illustrious for being the man whovoicedShaggy for numerous cinema and television series — and , of track , for being a disc jockey — he also appeared in a figure of other Hanna - Barbera toon . Though he , regrettably , passed forth several years before this picture show was made , there is an court to him in a place named Casey ’s creation . It ’s a subtle agency to honour one of the most iconic voices in animation .
An Homage To William Hanna And Joseph Barbera
When it comes to animation , William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are trulygiantsin the field . Through numerous decades in the business , they were able to bring infinite hour of delight to numerous generations of kid . How fitting , then , that this film would include an court to their legendary genius in the manakin of a barbershop and a pizza place . One ca n’t help but think that the two gravid animators would have encounter this amusing .
The Montage And The Original Series
Anyone who has determine the original series starring Scooby - Doo knows that the intrepid — if cowardly — smashing Dane and his human companion had numerous risky venture unmask evildoer and thwarting crime . This film has a great call - back to those adventures with a collage that is clearly indebted to the earlier serial publication .
It says something about the longevity of the original series and its influence on subsequent loop of the part that it would still be in use so many years after its original airing .
A Callback To Penelope Pitstop
Penelope Pitstop is one of those part that has n’t quite achieved the samecanonicalstatus as some of the others that were create by Hanna - Barbera . However , she was in two series made by them , one in which she is one of a number of “ wacky racers , ” and the other in which she is the star , in which she is pit against the nefarious Hooded Claw . This film contains a reference to her in the form of a billboard with her last name on it .
Peeble’s Pet Shop
One of the most brainy thing about Hanna - Barbera is how they were soconsistentlyable to create novel characters and new scenarios . In fact , there were times when their mental imagery seemed almost inexhaustible . One of those characters was Magilla Gorilla , another entity who has n’t quite achieved canonical status . For the knifelike - eyed observer , however — and for the ardent devotee of Saturday good morning cartoons — this flick contains a Peeble ’s Pet Shop , the base of Magilla himself .
The Characters Of Blue Falcon And Dynomutt
Blue Falcon and Dynomutt are two Hanna - Barbera part who have bring off to have quite the ledge - life . In increase to having their own show in the 1970s , they have also appeared in another film withScooby - Doo . It ’s not every character , after all , that can vaunt of having appear in so many different iterations of the same franchise .
Thankfully , their appearance in this animated film does n’t baby in quite the same kind of giddiness that was common in some of Hanna - Barbera ’s less travail .
Hong Kong Phooey Decal
One of the best affair about this film is that it manages to offer some Hanna - Barbera deep snub . It ’s rather doubtful , after all , that many people would recognise the theatrical role of Hong Kong Phooey , who appears in a decal . For those who grew up in the 1970s — and , to a lesser extent , the 1980s — the fibre was a very familiar one . He would later see a bit of a resurgence when he made appearances on Cartoon web .
Another Reference To The Original Series At The End Of The Film
Though this novel film choose some liberties with the mythology as it was established in the original series , it still clearly want the watcher to know that it recognize its place and how much it owes to the earlier iteration of the characters . Thus , near the final stage of the film , there is a scene in which the various characters are gathered around a laptop computer in a layout that very much echo a similar blocking in the original serial .
The Stuffed Yankee Doodle Pigeon
The mainvillainof this picture is Dick Dastardly . While he is very sinister in this iteration , he in reality appeared in several other serial publication , include one in which he pursues a loyal pigeon named — what else?—Yankee Doodle Pigeon . Of naturally , he always manage to get the better of Dick Dastardly ; he was the hero , after all . This film ’s homage to him , however , is a bit on the sinister side , since all the audience see is a glut doll .
Captain Caveman
Captain Caveman is one of the stranger Hanna - Barbera creations , both in his appearing and in his deportment . On the bright side , he was voice by Mel Blanc , one of the most prolific and talented voice actor to have ever graced animation . In this film , he is voice by the tremendously magnetic Tracy Morgan , who brings his own magical spell to the function . It remains to be seen whether Captain Caveman will be one of the lineament who generate his own motion picture .
