''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' is the second incarnation of the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!''. It premiered on September 9, 1972 and ran for two seasons on CBS as the only hour-long ''Scooby-Doo'' series. Twenty-four episodes were ultimately produced (sixteen in 1972–73 and eight more in 1973–74). Aside from doubling the length of each episode, ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' differed from its predecessor in the addition of a rotating special guest star slot; each episode featured real-life celebrities or well known animated characters joining the Mystery, Inc. gang in solving the mystery of the week. Some episodes, in particular the episodes guest-starring the characters from ''The Addams Family'', ''Batman'', and ''Jeannie'', deviated from the established ''Scooby-Doo'' format of presenting criminals masquerading as supernatural beings by introducing real ghosts, witches, monsters, and other such characters into the plots. ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' was the last incarnation of ''Scooby-Doo'' to feature Nicole Jaffe as the regular voice of Velma Dinkley, due to her marriage and retirement from acting. ==Overview== Some of these guest stars who appeared in ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'', were living celebrities who provided their own voices (Don Knotts, Jerry Reed, Cass Elliot, Jonathan Winters, Sandy Duncan, Tim Conway, Dick Van Dyke, and Sonny & Cher, among others); some had died or retired celebrities whose voicing was done by imitators (The Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy); and the rest were crossovers with present or future Hanna-Barbera characters. The characters from ''Harlem Globetrotters'', ''Josie and the Pussycats'', ''Jeannie'', and ''Speed Buggy'' all appeared on the show during or after their own shows' original runs; ''The Addams Family'' and ''Batman and Robin'' both appeared on the show a year before they were incorporated into Hanna-Barbera shows of their own, ''The Addams Family'' and ''Super Friends''. Many of the supporting voice roles were done by several celebrities who were famous elsewhere (Ted Knight (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/The Mary Tyler Moore Show" TITLE="The Mary Tyler Moore Show">The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' ), Larry Storch (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/F-Troop" TITLE="F-Troop">F-Troop'' ), and Jamie Farr (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/M *A *S *H (TV series)" TITLE="M *A *S *H (TV series)">M *A *S *H'' )) or were unknown by the time of production (Jodie Foster and Vincent Van Patten). After ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' ended its original network run in August 1974, repeats of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' aired on CBS for the next two years. No new ''Scooby-Doo'' cartoons would be produced until the show defected to ABC in September 1976 on the highly publicized ''The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour''. When the various ''Scooby-Doo'' series entered syndication in 1980, each ''New Movies'' episode was halved and run as two half-hour parts. The USA Network ''Cartoon Express'' began running the ''New Movies'' in their original format beginning in September 1990; they were rerun on Sunday mornings until August 1992. In 1994, ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' began appearing on three Turner Broadcasting networks: TNT, Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio. The first season of the series was animated at Hanna-Barbera's main studio in Los Angeles, while the second season was animated at their newly formed studio in Australia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The New Scooby-Doo Movies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
