BURBANK, CA (November 2, 2010) — Those meddling kids and their lovable dog are back in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated S1 V1, available for the first time on DVD January 25, 2011, from Warner Home Video (WHV). Featuring episodes from the newest incarnation of the popular Scooby-Doo franchise — Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated from Warner Bros. Animation, which currently airs Mondays at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network — this edgier, bolder adaptation of the legendary cartoon finds our favorite pals Daphne, Fred, Velma and Shaggy, along with the mystery-solving Scooby-Doo, investigating strange occurrences in their hometown of Crystal Cove. Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated S1 V1 will feature the first four episodes of the series and will retail for $14.97 SRP.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated premiered as the #1 show on Cartoon Network with Kids 6–11 and continues to be #1 in its time period among key demos. In the series, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are back, solving mysteries in the spooky town of Crystal Cove, a sleepy coastal village that boasts a long history of ghostly sightings, werewolves and glowing deep sea divers. Because of all the paranormal activity, Crystal Cove has become a tourist hotspot that capitalizes on its haunted reputation — and the gang’s meddling is therefore not appreciated by the people of Crystal Cove.
Each episode features a new mystery and it’s up to the gang to solve it. In addition, there’s a season-long mystery that the gang is uncovering along the way…a mystery that will change their lives forever once they’ve solved it. But the drama isn’t limited to paranormal activities — the gang, portrayed as teens, deal with situations that arise within their families and in their personal relationships within the group.
Featured Episodes in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated S1 V1:
– “Beware the Beast from Below”
– “The Creeping Creatures”
– “Secret of the Ghost Rig”
– “Revenge of the Man Crab”
Executive produced by Sam Register, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated draws on the iconic look and feel of the original Scooby-Doo series and is presented in a modernized visual style created by some of today’s leading animation artists. Each episode is presented like a miniature movie. The series’ dramatic, cinematic visuals allow for added depth in each story, while still allowing the show’s comedic tones to shine through.
