What In The Sam Hell Did Cartoon Network Do To Scooby-Doo?

Scooby-Doo gets yet another relaunch on Cartoon Network, but this time the series undergoes a drastic change.

Cartoon Network posted a video on their Facebook page, which hasn’t been well received by fans of the series that first originated back in 1969.

The new series is called “Be Cool Scooby-Doo” and sees the animation changed to reflect the current trend of something along the lines of Adult SwimThe Simpsons and Rick and Morty.

Some of the popular comments on the thread include:

• This looks like it’s from an episode of family guy

• If you want to bring back scooby-doo then bring back Mystery inc that was a great series. Stop making horrible animated shows that are beyond stupid, especially when there once was a series of the same show that was epic, ie. Scooby-doo and Teen titans. I use to love this channel but now it’s just gone too far down hill. Bring back the 90’s and 00’s shows.

• I think the next mystery that Scooby-Doo and the gang should solve is why Cartoon Network keeps rebooting old shows and every time they do a reboot the animation style gets worse.

WB is bringing Scooby-Doo back to the big screen, which more than likely will feature the classic animation. Am I the only one that misses the more realistic styles of animation from the 80s/90s (Transformers, GI Joe, X-Men, Spider-Man)? I can’t stand the way most toons look nowadays.

Here’s another look at “Be Cool Scooby-Doo”:
