The New Scooby-Doo Movies is an American animated mystery comedy television series produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS. It is the second television series in the Scooby-Doo franchise, and follows the first incarnation, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!{{Cite book |last=Woolery |first=George W. |url=https://archive.org/details/childrenstelevis0000wool/page/248/mode/2up |title=Children's Television: The First Thirty-Five Years, 1946-1981, Part 1: Animated Cartoon Series |date=1983 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=0-8108-1557-5 |pages=249=253 |access-date=22 March 2020}} It premiered on September 9, 1972, and ended on October 27, 1973, running for two seasons on CBS as the only hour-long Scooby-Doo series.{{Cite web |last=Long |first=Mike |date=March 22, 2005 |title=The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies: DVD Review |url=https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/15206/best-of-the-new-scooby-doo-movies-the/ |access-date=April 20, 2018 |website=DVD Talk}} Twenty-four episodes were produced, sixteen for the 1972–73 season and eight more for the 1973–74 season.

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 world celebrities or well-known animated characters joining the Mystery, Inc. gang in solving mysteries.{{Cite book |last=Perlmutter |first=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |pages=534–538}} This concept was later revisited with a similar animated series titled Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, which premiered in 2019.

The New Scooby-Doo Movies was the last incarnation of Scooby-Doo airing on CBS,{{Cite book |last=Hyatt |first=Wesley |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofda00hyat/page/XXX/mode/2up |title=The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television |date=1997 |publisher=Watson-Guptill Publications |isbn=978-0823083152 |access-date=22 March 2020}} and also the franchise's final time to feature Nicole Jaffe as the regular voice of Velma Dinkley, due to her marriage and retirement from acting.

Overview

Many of the 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, Don Adams, Davy Jones and Sonny & Cher, among others); some episodes featured celebrities who were retired or deceased, 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.{{Cite book |last=Erickson |first=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |publisher=McFarland & Company |isbn=978-1476665993 |edition=2nd |pages=722}}

The characters from other Hanna-Barbera shows 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 (the first time the latter duo appeared in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon) both appeared on the show a year before they were incorporated into Hanna-Barbera shows of their own, The Addams Family and Super Friends, respectively.{{Cite web |last1=Collura |first1=Scott |last2=Fickett |first2=Travis |last3=Goldman |first3=Eric |last4=Zoromski |first4=Brian |title=A History of Batman on TV |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/07/17/a-history-of-batman-on-tv?page=3 |access-date=2010-08-15 |website=IGN}}

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 moved 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, Hanna-Barbera Pty, Ltd. in Australia.

Upon attempting to release a complete DVD set of the 24-episode series in 2005, Warner Home Video was unable to negotiate agreements with several of the episodes' guest stars to have those episodes included. As a result, the DVD was released under the title The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, and featured only 15 episodes culled from both seasons. The opening titles on this release were edited to remove the images of the Addams Family, Batman and Robin, the Harlem Globetrotters, the Three Stooges, and Laurel and Hardy.

On April 4, 2019, Warner Bros. announced plans to release eight more episodes, both as part of a package with the 15 previously released episodes and as a standalone release.{{Cite web |date=3 April 2019 |title='New Scooby-Doo Movies' Come Home in (Almost) Complete & Lost Episode Sets |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/home-entertainment/new-scooby-doo-movies-come-home-in-almost-complete-lost-episode-sets/}}{{Cite web |title=The New Scooby-Doo Movies: The (Almost) Complete Collection Blu-ray Disc Details | High-Def Digest |url=https://bluray.highdefdigest.com/71581/thenewscoobydoomoviesthealmostcompletecollection.html}}{{Cite web |date=4 April 2019 |title=New Scooby-Doo Movies: The (Almost) Complete Collection on Blu-ray & DVD This June! |url=https://thegeekiary.com/scooby-doo-movies-collection-blu-dvd/62893 |website=TheGeekiary.com}} This release was planned for the 50th anniversary of Scooby-Doo. No explanation for the previous appearances' rights issues was provided.

The only episode that has not been released or announced for release on DVD is "Wednesday Is Missing", which features the Addams Family.
