Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! - Sorcerer Snacks Scare
Season 1, Episode 17
Premiered February 20, 2016
Quickly
We learn the origin of Scooby Snacks.
Thoughts, Details and Recap
The episode opens with Sorcerer's Snacks (proto-Scooby Snacks) and a commercial that reminds me of Wilkin's Coffee. Then there's the Sorcerer attacks.
Shaggy and Scooby arrive at the factory to test the snack. They love it but it's been discontinued. Daphne sees a display of puppets. Unfortunately, Fred stops her.
Upon hearing the factory is getting terrorized by a wizard, they offer to investigate. Fred uses the last box of Sorcery Snacks to get them to investigate a scary room. Daphne questions how ethical it is to bribe Scooby and Shaggy and judges Velma for pondering applying the principles of operant conditioning to Shaggy and Scooby.
The gang is attacked by the Wizard and his magic staff. They escape him. During the investigation, they meet Piero (possibly a reference to Pietro the Puppet Master from Backstage Rage).
We see the return of the puppet gang! Best part of the episode.
They unmask Piero, the puppeteer behind the mascot. He created complex animatronics and used his staff to remote them. It's not my favorite kind of solution. He was smart enough that he could have done anything!! This is just my personal feeling. It doesn't
This episode is just a new Scooby Snack backstory. I prefer the muddled history established in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. Still a fun episode.
