Few things bring me the kind of joy I get from “The New Scooby-Doo Movies”, not so much from their actual content as from the number of things that officially share canon because of it. The list includes (but is not limited to)
Batman (and by extension, the Super Friends)
Sonny and Cher
The Three Stooges
The Harlem Globetrotters
The Adams Family
Josie and the Pussycats (And by extension, Archie)
Laurel and Hardy
And a significant number of other real-world celebrities
I just can’t get over how funny this is to me. Cher could share a stage with The Archies! Laurel and Hardy could team up with Don Knotts and the Three Stooges to solve a supposed haunting in an abandoned theme park! Gomez Adams could go to see a Harlem Globetrotters game that gets crashed by the Penguin!Â
...I think I peaked with that last one. Now all I can think about is Gomez Adams bantering with The Penguin. While fencing against the Penguin’s umbrella, of course.
