I notice that even though they have Flimflam in the trailer (but oddly NOT featured or mention on the box art), I feel like that despite his "infamous repuation" of being "worse" than Scrappy... he is getting a pass because he was just in the show and nothing else... so of course the creative team would try "upgrade" him... though I wouldn't put it pass that he turns out to be the baddie as part of all the big twists these movies have been doing... (the chest of demons opening in his shop in the trailer).

As for Scrappy... I just want him to have some closure with the gang in this. Something to at least prove the gang still consider Scrappy part of the gang and a friend to them. This movie might be the last chance he has to appear as an ACTUAL character than just a joke easter egg... But knowing his luck... he might just show up in the post credits scene or something, missing the whole adventure and the Mystery Inc crew.

Face it: Nobody at CN or WB care enough for Scrappy to let him have any dignity today. Remeber in the Mystery Incorperated, they actually ACKNOWLEDGED Flimflam as being part of the gang... while they just see Scrappy's statue and turn away in disgust... Plus, they added in Scrappy Rex in that Roller Coaster ride in Austrilia... kinda highlights the fact that's how they seem to remember Scrappy from now on...

Also, I barely remember the old show, but I do remember that most of the 13th Ghost play out long cons for the Gang. Maybe they will have something to do with that case that makes Mystery Inc retire... plus we don't see the 2 henchghosts either.. and from the looks of it, they won't have some of the broken 4th Wall jokes the orginal show had (like Scrappy scaring off a network censor to protect a dragon, or Scooby being scared into retirment of show bussniess). So they might go in a different direction than how the show was set up... The jokes are more about the contrast between the two eras. Fred being told about everything, which pretty much is a catch up for new viewers.

If they had been faithful it just would not have been made, because the humour series itself just did not catch on, so they're not going to do it for a whole movie.
