This Review Only Pertains To The "Bravo Dooby Doo" Segment

Every year, at Halloweentime, I watch two things: "Billy And Mandy's Jacked-Up Halloween" and "Bravo Dooby Doo". Both are episodes on the original "Cartoon Network Halloween: 9 Creepy Capers" DVD I've had since I was very young. I love both episodes, and think they're absolutely perfect in execution.

In "Bravo Dooby Doo", we have Johnny Bravo teaming-up with the Scooby-Doo Gang, pretty much filled with all of its original voice actors, and the blend is PERFECT! All of the personalities of the gang and Johnny either arguing or getting-along is so much fun to watch, and the excellent writing allows this to never get old, or grow unfunny. Again: I've been watching this every single year since I was a small boy, and I'm promising you it's not an opinion just based in nostalgia; the episode is timeless. Every kid-modern or old-timey-will love this, and I'm willing to bet that adults familiar with either cartoon (Scooby-Doo or Johnny Bravo) will absolutely enjoy this, without a doubt.

The animation style and smoothness is amazing.

The musical choice (especially with a song from the 70s or 60s playing, halfway through) is brilliantly used.

This is a haunted house Johnny Bravo episode, and the Scooby gang being involved just makes it feel so cozy, like we're seeing Scooby and the gang back from a long, long vacation. It almost feels like an episode from the original Scooby cartoon. It's amazing how Hannah Barbera could craft something like this, even after the original Scooby-Doo show hadn't been on-going in such a while.

Again: it's perfect. This episode could not be MORE perfect.

A nice high-five to these awesome creators for making something so timeless and special.

Review/rating solely for Bravo Dooby Doo

Scooby-Doo had been on a bit of a hiatus when this aired in 1997 (things finally got moving again a year later with the Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island movie), so this was a nice way to remind everyone, and say 'Look! We're still here!'.

The plot is a nice homage to all the usual elements of a Scooby-Doo episode - plus there are one or two little touches aimed more at the 'grown-up' audience 😉

By the way, this episode was pretty significant in terms of the Scooby-Doo voice actors; it was the last time Casey Kasem voiced Shaggy until the TV series What's New, Scooby-Doo? (2002), the last time Heather North voiced Daphne until the film Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire (2003), the first time Frank Welker voiced Fred since The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries (1983), the first of just two times Hadley Kay voiced Scooby (both in this series of Johnny Bravo), and the first ever time B. J. Ward voiced Velma.

A fun watch. 6.5/10.
