Aussierang

 


Boomerang viewers listen up! Scooby Doo & The Legend Of The Vampire may be the last film Boomerang airs for now, but soon the channel will air another Aussie-related property - The 'Hood, and unlike the antics the Scooby Gang get up to in the film, the antics the gang in this one gets up to is more light hearted and less related to monsters - aside from 'The Night Guardian' and 'Watch Out For Goblins' - with its score of reggae music and mixed animation styles such as puppetry, stop motion and flash animation. The first few moments of this film, when the Scooby Gang explore Australia, reminds me of Barnaby Bear Goes Down Under, a story that used to be on the BBC website:
I wonder if Scooby and the gang ever saw ABC Kids and ABC Me on their travels? Better yet, did they appear on a School Of The Air? It's a radio station that teaches Aussie kids who live too far from school. Imagine what the radio announcer would say: "I've got some visitors from America here today - Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma."
