Nobody vacations like Scooby-Doo and the gang! Join Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and their canine pal in Scooby-Doo! 13 Spooky Tales Around the World
as they visit some of the coolest and creepiest destinations across the
world. Prepare to get shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle with scary
skeleton scuba divers and chased through the canals of Venice by the
Ghostly Gondolier, who even kidnaps Daphne! Hop aboard a haunted Aztec
barge, but not before Scooby-Doo! wows a vengeful god with his best
Mexican hat dance – to say nothing of his airplane cha-cha over the
headhunter-happy jungles of Brazil. Along the way you can bet the
Mystery Inc. gang will get to the bottom of each mystery with plenty of
“zoinks!” (the same in every language), plenty of high-jinks, and a
whole lot of international cuisine – leaning tower of pizza anyone?
“This collection is a fun ride for both kids and adults as they enjoy a variety of Scooby-Doo!
stories from various places around the world,” said Mary Ellen Thomas,
WHV Vice President, Marketing of Family & Animation Franchise. She
added, “Scooby-Doo always delivers thrilling stories that are
mixed with comedy and fun, and appeal to a wide audience. We think
consumers will be excited about the almost five hours of spooky fun in Scooby-Doo! 13 Spooky Tales Around the World.”
Scooby-Doo!,
the hit franchise follows the adventures of Daphne, Fred, Shaggy, Velma
and Scooby-Doo as they travel in their van “The Mystery Machine” and
solve cases typically involving ghosts, monsters or other supernatural
forces. High-jinks always ensue, with their investigations resulting in
entertaining chase scenes mixed with catchy musical numbers and comedic
antics. The original television program went on to become one of the
most successful animated television programs in history and spawned
several spin-off series, specials, consumer products and live action
films.
