I don't think the animation was a good choice, like I've said before elsewhere on the site. I was also able to see the pitch, and the writing isn't that bad. The characterizations don't sound too bad, either. I don't care for Daphne much in the DTVs at the moment, she's okay back in the original series and even What's New, Scooby-Doo?, but she's become wasted now. That's why I liked what they did with her in Moon Monster Madness, she was vital to the plot. In BCSD, she's being redone a little, so she can actually have some personality, which to be honest, she's greatly missing at the moment in the DTVs, and she comes off as a floozy.

I can quite easily be negative, but I can't help but see the good qualities. I'd rather just wait for it to air. Scooby-Doo will never quite be the same, I mean that's what they're trying to do in the DTVs at the moment, but the problem is, is that even in those they're still trying to do their own little updated tweaks with it. For one thing, flesh-coloured sclera was fine back when it was first used, but it's unnecessary now. I think the time of nostalgia is gone, and they should move on. But they're not, as they're keeping the nostalgia as close to the original as possible, and that's why TPTB are giving permission to experiment with the formula for TV, instead.
