What's New in 2021, Scooby-Doo?

We all know 2020 was a tough year and I'm sure most of us are happy to move forward into a new year and hopefully some better days ahead. I'm not sure that we'll really notice much of a difference in 2021 until closer to the end of the year, still having to wear masks and social distance, but I hope that things will get better sooner than later. 

One of the things that helped me get through 2020 was Scooby-Doo and 2021 should be just as exciting in the Scooby world. Here are some of the things we can expect in the world of Scooby this year: 

Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? The Complete First Season

Werewolf Funko Pop Soda

Funko Fair launched on January 19, 2021. The sneak peak video released by Original Funko included this Werewolf Funko Soda Pop figure. The figure went on sale for preorder on the 19th for $11.99 and it sold out very quickly. It is supposed to be released in April 2021. 

Scooby-Doo! The Board Game

CMON Games created a Kickstarter to get pledges to back their cooperative Scooby-Doo board game. If you chose to back the game, as I did, you get amazing hand painted characters, the game board, cards, and a really cool glow-in-the-dark box. Pledges ended on January 20th, but the game isn't expected until November 2021. 

Scooby-Doo Valentine's Merchandise

The year has brought us a bunch of merchandise from Walmart, Dollar Tree and other stores for Valentine's Day. Plush, gift sets, bags...lots of Scooby stuff to add to the collection. While it's not always easy to find the merchandise at your local store, it's nice that the Scooby community works together and will help each other out to get it. 

Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob

Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob is an original movie that will be released on DVD on February 23, 2021. The movie will be a medieval mystery where the gang travels to England, meets a sorceress and travels back in time. The movie was announced on December 10, 2020 along with the first trailer. 

The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries Comic Book Series

A new comic book crossover series is coming! The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries will include 12 comics by DC and will feature Batman, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Velma. There has been no mention of Daphne or Fred for the series yet. Have they been left out?

The first comic in the series goes on sale April 13, 2021. 

Scooby-Doo! and Courage the Cowardly Dog

Image Source: https://www.deviantart.com/steveirwinfan96/art/Scooby-Doo-meets-Courage-the-Cowardly-Dog-DVD-847039232

We have been hearing that a Scooby-Doo/Courage the Cowardly Dog crossover movie is coming in 2021, through no date has been determined. I'm not even sure if this has been confirmed by WB, so we will have to see what the future holds with this one. 

That's all I have for now for 2021. Keep an eye out on my blog and social media sites for more news.

Can't We All Just Get Along?

 

I started ScoobyAddicts.com in February of 2007 because I wanted to have everything Scooby in one place for myself and I thought that if anyone else liked it as well, that would be a bonus. I had a previous site called PantherGR's Scooby-Doo Website. PantherGR was a web handle I used and the website was just a rinky-dink little site dedicated to Scooby with some general info. 

Over the years, I have compiled information, done some interviews, and I try to post daily on social media. It's not always easy to keep up with things as life gets in the way.  I'm married with kids, a couple dogs, I just moved into a cool Victorian house that everyone refers to as my Scooby-Doo house, and I work full time. I don't always have the time to update new episodes or villains. I try my best, but I know that my website isn't always complete. I do have plans to make a lot of updates soon though.

I don't much appreciate it when someone contacts me and gets angry because my website isn't updated with new episodes, cursing at me because they want the information on the website now. I don't always have time to watch the episodes right away. I also know how frustrating it can be to look up information and not have it available, but there are better ways to go about it than to send me angry messages. Be kind and understand that everyone has something going on in their life.

The greatest thing about the internet is that there are so many options to choose from. Like my website, there are many other fan sites and social media accounts on the internet that have great information. I don't see them as my competition because I believe that the internet is big enough for more than one Scooby-Doo fan site. It would be boring if all anyone got to look at was my website and no one else was able to share their creativity in creating their own. 

I don't believe there needs to be jealousy between fan site creators either. As I said in the beginning of this post, I created ScoobyAddicts for me, not because I wanted to be better than anyone else. I wanted to do something that made sense for me and it's a bonus that people like my site. We don't have to look at each other as if we are trying to steal followers away from each other. We all have a common connection and we should be working together and supporting each other. 

It's the same with social media. We can all get along and post what we want, repost each other's posts, and live in the social media world peacefully. I love to see pictures of new merchandise, posting new information, pictures of voice actors you've met, interviews that have been done, etc. It's great to have so many people that want to share Scooby-Doo info. 

I believe that we can all celebrate Scooby-Doo in our own way and function together as Scooby fans. Whether it's through a website, social media, a podcast, whatever, we shouldn't be putting each other down or bashing each other. It's ok for people to like each one of us or just one of us. We shouldn't be in competition with each other. As long as you aren't stealing someone else's idea, be creative and have fun and lets work together to keep people interested in that fun-loving canine, Scooby-Doo!

Check out some of my favorite Scooby sites, social media accounts and podcasts. (I'm sorry if I forgot anyone. Also note that I only included what I thought was the main account and not all of the social media links for everyone. Please find their other links through their account.)
