It is notable for being one of the last performances of [[Don Messick]] as the voice of both [[Scooby-Doo]] and [[Boo Boo Bear]], as well as the final ''[[Scooby-Doo (franchise)|Scooby-Doo]]'' cartoon to be produced by [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.]]

It is notable for being one of the last performances of [[Don Messick]] as the voice of both [[Scooby-Doo]] and [[Boo Boo Bear]], as well as the final ''[[Scooby-Doo (franchise)|Scooby-Doo]]'' cartoon to be wholly produced by [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.]]

The special features classic Hanna-Barbera characters Scooby-Doo, [[Shaggy Rogers]], [[Yogi Bear]], Boo-Boo Bear, and Magilla Gorilla. Scooby and Shaggy are mostly used as set up for the two main tales. It was produced in a manner similar to the classic Warner Bros. cartoons, similar to Steven Speilberg's ''Animaniacs'', which debuted the previous year, down to the music. The animation style is also different from the previous TV movies, drawn in a more flatter style with brighter colors and stylized character designs (in some ways similar to ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'').

Expansion This needs a stretch. (Feel free to remove when satisfied of completion.)
Needed: Synopsis.

Arabian Nights is a television special, based around The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, which originally aired September 3, 1994 on TBS. It is notable for being one of the last performances of Don Messick as the voice of both Scooby-Doo and Boo Boo Bear, as well as the final Scooby-Doo cartoon to be wholly produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.

The special features classic Hanna-Barbera characters Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Yogi Bear, Boo Boo Bear, and Magilla Gorilla. Scooby and Shaggy are mostly used as set up for the two main tales. It was produced in a manner similar to the classic Warner Bros. cartoons, similar to Steven Speilberg's Animaniacs, which debuted the previous year, down to the music. The animation style is also different from the previous TV movies, drawn in a more flatter style with brighter colors and stylized character designs (in some ways similar to A Pup Named Scooby-Doo).

Premise

Scooby and Shaggy are hired as royal food-tasters by a young Arab Caliph - a job offer they can't refuse. When they eat everything, the nearsighted Caliph gets mad and has his guards chase them, until he finds Shaggy disguised in drag as a harem girl. In order to make the prince fall asleep, Shaggy tells him two classic stories with a twist.

Notes/trivia

Arabian Nights redesigns

Shaggy and Scooby, redesigned for the TV movie.

  • This is the last Scooby-Doo production to be produced solely by Hanna-Barbera. Beginning with the direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Warner Bros. Animation takes over production with the Scooby-Doo franchise (although still copyrighted and credited to Hanna-Barbera, in most cases.)
  • Later releases of this movie, change the name to Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights in order to make Scooby (and Shaggy)'s role seem larger. The DVD even implies that they're the ones who find the genie. 

Miscellaneous

  • Disguises: Shaggy as a harem; Scooby as a female assistant dress maker.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

  • Scooby's dog tag colors (blue and yellow) are reversed several times throughout the movie, more times than showing the original one. This could be part of the redesign of Scooby.
  • When the guard holds his arm out to let Shaggy and Scooby in the palace, his goatee is missing.
