Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! 5-Disc Box Set DVD
Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is the mid-2010s Cartoon Network and Boomerang reboot of the long-running Scooby-Doo franchise that took the gang in a deliberately stylized, deconstructionist direction. The show ran across two seasons starting in 2015, with a 52-episode run that brought Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby into a graduating-from-high-school setup and let the format play with the franchise's tropes from a slightly meta angle. The visual style is the show's most aggressive break from previous Scooby-Doo productions, with character designs that read closer to webcomic art than the franchise's typical look.
What makes the series distinct is its self-aware register. Where most Scooby-Doo properties play the formula straight, Be Cool consistently treats the gang's adventures as opportunities to comment on the conventions they inhabit, with each episode finding new angles on the long-running clichés the franchise has earned across its history. The format works through stand-alone mysteries with the kind of joke density that traditional Scooby-Doo episodes never quite attempted. The visual style and the meta humor split the audience, with longtime fans divided on whether the experiment honored or undercut the franchise's identity.
For its era, Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! belongs to Warner Bros. Animation's ongoing strategy of giving the Scooby franchise different stylistic registers across simultaneous productions. The show ran two full seasons before its conclusion, and the run captured the experiment in its complete form across 52 episodes.
The most memorable entries lean into the show's meta sensibility. "Mystery 101" launches the series with the establishing premise. "Game Of Chicken" delivers an early-season highlight. "Trading Chases" runs a body-swap premise. "Be Quiet Scooby-Doo!" plays with silent-comedy material. "Where There's A Will, There's A Wraith" runs the format at its sharpest. "Scary Christmas" delivers the holiday entry. "The People Vs. Fred Jones" closes Season 1 with a mock-trial framework. "There Wolf" launches Season 2 with werewolf material. "Professor Huh? Part 2" closes the run. All 52 episodes across 5 DVDs collect both seasons, every meta mystery, in one box.
