SCOOBY DOO JAMIE LONG
WHAT IS SCOOBY DOO? Scooby Doo is a children's animated cartoon about a dog and his group of friends who set out to solve mysterious disturbances. First produced in America in 1969 it still continues to be produced today. The first series, produced in 1969, was made by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears for a company named ‘Hanna- Barbera Productions’. As well as this being a popular television series there also many Scooby Doo films, the first of which was called ‘Scooby Goes To Hollywood’ and was made in 1979. Just like the television version the films are still being produced today, with Scooby Doo movies planned so far until as late as 2018. Wikipedia, (2016). Scooby-Doo.

THE FIRST VOICES? Scooby – Doo: Shaggy: Fred: Velma: Daphne: Don Messick Casey Kasem Frank Welker Nicole Jaffe Indira Stefanianna IMDb, (2016). Scooby Doo, Where Are You! (TV Series 1969– 1971). [online] Available at: http: //www. imdb. com/title/tt 0063950/fullcredits [Accessed 12 Oct. 2015].
ROLES OF THE CHARACTERS? Fred is the leader of the ‘Mystery Inc Gang’. He is vital within the programme as he keeps the characters on track with their ‘mission’ to solve the investigations on mysterious disturbances by monster like characters, usually another unrecognised character in disguise. Velma is the intelligent character who usually thinks of the bright ideas to help the team solve the mystery. Daphne always got herself into difficult situations that could be potentially dangerous to her safety. Shaggy is powered by food. Simply, he cannot be bothered to help solve the mystery… unless food is involved. Scooby is similar to shaggy, also powered by food, he doesn’t understand the more important tasks.
AWARDS Scooby Doo has won a few awards. They have also been nominated for other various awards. Some of these awards are shown below: WINNING AWARDS- NOMINATED AWARDS- BMI Film Music Award MTV Award (Best Visual Performance) BLIMP Award Teen Choice Award (Movie of the Summer) Teen Choice Award (Choice comedy Actress) IMDb, (n. d. ).

THE FUTURE? With the TV version still being create/ broadcast and a brand new movie planned for release in 2018, I hope that Scooby Doo continues to be shown and entertain children just as it did when I was younger.
