A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare
Season 3, Episode 1
Quickly
A ghost threatens to stop a critical shuttle launch.
Thoughts, Details and Recap
The gang is going to the space center to see Velma's experiment that was chosen to go into space. They are given a tour of the space shuttle. Shaggy and Scooby must be convinced to join with a Shaggy snack and a Scooby Snack each. They are immediately confronted by an astronaut...sheriff ghost. Okay. They run. Shaggy and Scooby's skeletons jump out of their skin.
The combination of an extremely flexible and expressive cartoon style and the Scooby-Doo formula opens the opportunity for great creativity while being true to the show.
The appearance of the ghost cancels the shuttle launch. The clock is ticking because the conditions for the experiment won't recur till 2047 which was 57 years after the episode premiered.
The gang meets suspects and keep running into the ghost. They remain committed to the investigation because it's Velma's dream and they can't stand to see her heart broken.
The ghost is a rival scientist, Simon Simonsen who created antigravity boots that apparently were made from leather and needed to get shined. It's the second episode where a fellow scientist disguises itself as a monster after Velma is chosen over them.
