Obsessed with this. It’s so true
The original is still very watchable for kids today and is about as inoffensive as it gets. (Kids and their dog solving mysteries where someone in a mask is scaring people.) It has been around since the 70′s, and it’s had a few iterations since, including an animated movie count that I’m pretty sure rivals the Land Before Time series. (But more consistently good, I think) Seriously, in my family alone we have 4 generations who could all comfortably enjoy the various versions of Scooby Doo (Velma excluded) It’s just very classic. Like Moomins for Finnish Folk. Or Ge Ge No Kitaro in Japan. Honestly I’m sure every country has some IP like these that are iconic and beloved.
