Hello there, guys! It's been pretty quiet in here for some time, huh? Guess what I found on (non-fanon) Scoobypedia! There are a new movie AND a new series planned for this and/or next year!
The movie is titled Scooby-Doo! It's Alive! and apparently will revolve around Velma. Here's the premise:
When Velma discovers she's the heir to the Von Dinkenstein fortune, she inherits not just a creepy old castle, but the legacy of the famous Frankencreep monster! Velma has dedicated her life to proving that ghosts and ghoulies are nothing but hoaxes... Could her family's famous monster be the end of everything she believes in? It's up to Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Daphne to help uncover the truth and save her reputation!
In my opinion, this can be an interesting take on the Scooby-Doo Hoax and maybe the whole franchise. However, there's one little detail bugging me.
Seeing that "Dinkley" might have evolved from "Von Dinkenstein", the deceased person was most probably a relative from Velma's father's side of the family. And as far as I know, one can get a whole fortune only if there are no other heirs or if they're specified as the only recipient of the heritage. So that would imply either that the deceased relative didn't like Velma's father and sister and decided to disinherit them both... or that poor Mrs. Dinkley became a widow and lost the younger one of her daughters. That would be tragic, though. So I hope that Mr. Dinkley just wasn't on good terms with the testator (and got omitted) and that Madelyn will at least be mentioned as another heiress (continuity, dear creators!).
That said, let's move on to the new series. It's called Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! and scheduled to have its premiere this or next year. The premise is as follows:
The Scooby gang is back with a modern comedic twist on the beloved classic. With high school over and one last summer to live it up, the gang hits the road in the Mystery Machine, chasing fun and adventure. But monsters and mayhem keep getting in the way.
I'm very curious about this one. However, I hope that the drawing style won't be the one used for the "first look" Scooby art. I think the poor doggie looks hideous in this one.
And what do YOU think about it?
