This article is about the film. For other uses, see Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers (disambiguation).


Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers is a 1987 telefilm produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for syndication as part of the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 package.

The first full-length film to feature the Scooby-Doo characters, it was also the first Scooby entry in the Superstars 10 anthology series of telefilms, which was followed by Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School and Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf. All three Scooby entries in the Superstars 10 series feature Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo alone, involved with stories that feature real ghosts and monsters, similar to the early 1980s version of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo.

Premise

Scooby and the gang call on ghost exterminators to help them "get rid of the ghosts" haunting them as they search for Shaggy's inheritance, hidden in his uncle's mansion.

Synopsis

Shaggy inherits of a southern mansion from his recently departed Uncle Beaureguard. No sooner do he, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo arrive at the plantation that they find it is haunted by his ghost.

Scrappy suggests they call ghost exterminators, and the trio end up appointing the Boo Brothers: Freako, Meako, and Shreako. When Shaggy asks them how can they be ghost exterminators when they themselves are ghosts, one of the brothers replies "It takes one to catch one, you know!". However, the Boo Brothers prove to be inept ghost catchers and often find themselves in the way of Shaggy and the dogs.

While trying to eliminate the ghosts from his new residence, Shaggy discovers that his uncle has hidden a fortune in diamonds in various places throughout the plantation, with a clue to each location for how to find the next. Thus, he, Scooby, and Scrappy begin a treasure hunt, while attempting to avoid and/or rid themselves of the Confederate ghost, who is also after the diamonds.

Other obstacles Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy encounter include Sheriff Rufus Buzby, who was impersonated by his twin brother at the beginning (the real sheriff has a mustache, whereas the Sheriff Shaggy meets does not. This was only revealed when Shaggy telephones the real sheriff and unmasks the first one as the monster, who the real sheriff revealed to be 'my no-goody brother', T.J. Buzby), and also who is on the trail of an escaped gorilla, and Sadie-Mae Scroggins, who has a crush on Shaggy, much to her gun-toting brother Billy-Bob's disapproval.

Eventually, they catch the villain and find the treasure, but Shaggy is so taken by the Boo Brothers' story that they need a home to haunt, that he turns the mansion over to them and the treasure is put into the Beauregard Trust Fund for Orphans.

Saying their goodbyes, Shaggy, and the dogs drive back home. Along the way, they encounter another ghost resembling Beauregard, which Shaggy thinks is another prank of Scooby's, until he realizes it's real and speeds away as fast as possible.

Notes/trivia

  • Shaggy is a little more serious.
  • This is the first movie to feature Scrappy-Doo, and the first one not to feature Fred, Daphne, and Velma.
  • This is the longest animated film in the Scooby-Doo franchise, with a running time of 93 minutes.
  • Beauregard's house is called "Beauregard Plantation", "Beauregard Manor", and "Beauregard Mansion".
  • Throughout the movie, there are various clues to Beauregard's treasure which leads Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo to various places in the mansion. Starting at the freezer the clues are:
    • Go to the part of the house with its knee out. - Chimney
    • A broken key unlocks the next door. - Piano
    • Look for a relative who is quite old, whose face cannot look, and whose hands cannot hold. - Grandfather Clock
    • What does this clock lack besides a tock? - Attic
    • Don't look any higher. Think what you are when you're not the buyer. - Cellar
    • Look for a kind of stone you wear as a hat - Headstone in Cemetery
    • You're nearing the end of this obstacle course. If you go buggy, you won't need a horse. - Barn
    • Think how you're are feeling when you are not sick. - Well
    • At the end of the tunnel, there are many more pearls and many more perils. - Pearls in the basement
    • There's no mystery for this clue. In Bear Cave, the jewels are in plain view.- Bear Cave
    • Go to a place that covers the tide and "pier" inside. - Boathouse
    • No more riddles, here ends the chase the treasure is in the fireplace. - Fireplace
  • June Foray and Hamilton Camp are uncredited.
  • On theDVD and VHS covers of Warner Home Video's releases, Shaggy wears his classic green shirt, maroon jeans and black shoes rather than the red shirt, blue jeans and ochre shoes he wore in the movie.

Cultural references

  • The truck Shaggy drove resembles a green 1981 Suzuki Jimny.
  • Shaggy's Uncle Beauregard is most likely a reference to P.G.T. Beauregard, a Louisiana-born American military officer, and the first prominent general of the Confederate army during the American Civil War.
  • A GhostBusters logo can be seen in the Boo Brothers book.
  • The Boo Brothers' mannerisms closely resemble those of The Three Stooges.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

  • Freako ends up speaking with Shreako's voice at one point during the "hide in here, no, in here" scene.
  • The Colonel's pants aren't white just his uniform.
  • T.J. Buzby is physically too large to fit into both the costumes he used; the two ghosts he impersonates are skinnier than he is.
  • Scrappy's dog tag colors (blue and yellow) are reversed several times throughout the movie.
  • The shadow that seems to follow the gang around, indicating very early who the villain is.
  • Sometimes the skeleton ghost has black around it, suggesting a person in a suit, other times there are just bones, suggesting it's a real skeleton.
  • After a tree branch falls on his head, T.J. Buzby momentarily smiles and tips his hat.

Inconstitencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

  • Up until now, all of Shaggy's family members have been New Englanders, most likely from Massachusetts.
    • However, it's possible that the Colonel was originally from New England but then moved down South for some reason.
