Here we are, folks,

on the red carpet at the grand opening...

... of the Coolsonian Criminology Museum.

Tonight's premiere exhibit

is a rousing look back...

... at the exploits of Mystery Incorporated.

And here they are.

Folks, this crowd is going crazy

over Mystery Inc.

Here you go, girls.

I got an ascot for each of you.

Hello!

Check it out! It's a Shag and Scoob quake

and the whole city's shaking!

Yeah!

Come on, Scoob.

Sorry.

I consider it a privilege, sir.

- Daphne!

- Don't you two look beautiful. Thank you.

Daphne! Daphne! Daphne!

Hi! We love you!

We have you tattooed on our chests! Look!

That's very sweet.

Velma! Velma!

- Sign it, please.

- We love you, Velma.

Thanks.

- I love her so much.

- May I have a word...

...with Coolsville's hottest detectives?

- Absolutely.

That's your word.

Come on, dear. We're late.

Heather Jasper-Howe

at the grand opening...

...of the new Coolsonian

Criminology Museum...

...with our guests of honor, the master

detectives of Mystery Incorporated.

Shaggy!

Right on!

Hello! Hello!

With all your success, will you still

have time for us in little old Coolsville?

Of course little old Coolsville

can solve its problems without us...

...but we'll always be here to help.

The people of Coolsville

are the best in the world!

- Can you tell us a little about the exhibit?

- Absolutely.

Mystery Inc. is proud to donate

the costumes of criminals we've unmasked.

- Like The Black Knight Ghost.

- Our very first case.

The 10,000 Volt Ghost.

The Skeleton Men,

and even the dreaded Pterodactyl Ghost.

We've also donated the costumes

of some of our more ridiculous foes.

Like Chickenstein.

Can we get a shot of you

next to The Black Night?

Ridiculous? Obviously she forgot

that dude tried to pluck us.

- Remember what I told you?

- Never pick your nose in public?

No, but that's good too.

- Image is everything.

- Yes! lmage is everything.

The whole city's watching,

so try and keep a brave face.

- They're costumes.

- Right.

She's right, Scoob.

Up close, they look totally fake.

The Tar Monster scared the locals

of Byzantius away to take their treasure.

But on the positive side,

he'd pave your driveway for free.

Isn't that right, Velma?

Velma?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Daphne, this is Patrick Wisely.

He's the curator here at the museum.

It's very nice to meet you, Patrick.

I hope you'll be working closely with Velma

on this ever-expanding exhibit.

I know that you're a glamorous,

mysterious, jet-set adventurer...

...preoccupied with

international intrigue and all...

- Yes. That's me.

- I know, but...

There's a symposium coming up

on syntactic reasoning in the criminal brain...

I have always found

a criminal's inclination...

...to incorrectly use the interrogative

pronoun in place of the relative...

...delightfully absurd.

- Me too!

- Really?

So maybe you'd want to go together?

Suppose you mean like...

Like a...

Like a date. With me.

No, I can't, Patrick.

Mystery is my mistress.

I must heed her sweet call.

Okay.

What's happening?

Oh, boy.

Daphne!

Go, Ned! Get it! Get it!

- We need to come up with a plan.

- Hiding is our plan.

In case you haven't noticed, there's

an unidentified freaky object in here!

- The curtains!

- We're on them!

- Come on, you chickens! Grab those ropes!

- But chickens aren't good with ropes!

- We got him!

- Shaggy, use the ropes to tie him up!

It's just a costume!

It's just a costume!

It's just a costume!

We tied it! Let go!

Sorry!

- We have to save Shaggy and Scooby!

- As usual!

Fire!

Mystery Incorporated.

This is only the first rung

on the ladder of your demise.

Look out!

And this time,

you'll be the ones unmasked...

...as the buffoons you truly are!

Any clues to the cause of the attack?

How did the dinosaur get through security?

Where did Mystery Inc.'s plan go wrong?

You. Any leads on the identity

of the masked man?

A secret hatch!

The real Pterodactyl Ghost

must have come through here!

A reptilian scale.

A most wonderful clue.

He stole two costumes: The Black Knight

Ghost and The 10,000 Volt Ghost. Why?

Fred, Daphne. Could you answer

a few questions for the press?

Fred, I don't think

that's a really good idea.

We always face the press

after we've unmasked the creeps.

We looked ridiculous back there.

Don't worry about it, sweetheart.

The press loves us.

The higher the pedestal,

the harder the fall.

And Mystery Inc. fell far

in the embarrassing debacle...

... that tarnished the reputation

of the once-great gang.

It was an utter disaster

as two of the gang's key members...

... Norville "Shaggy" Rogers

and Scoobert "Scooby-Doo"...

... caused untold damage to Coolsville's

hottest new tourist attraction...

... which took a full two years to complete.

When asked for comment, Fred Jones,

leader of Mystery Inc., said this:

Coolsville can solve its

problems without us.

I didn't say that! I mean...

I did, but that's out of context!

This is Heather Jasper-Howe,

disillusioned from Coolsville.

It's all my fault.

I'm the one who told Shaggy

and Scooby to get the ropes.

No, Velma, it's my fault. I should have

checked that they were tied before I let go.

It's my fault too.

We all know how Shaggy

and Scooby can be.

But it's all right.

We just need to stay strong,

in control, and work fast.

Come on, gang. Let's get to the lab.

William Hanna

William Denby Hanna (July 14, 1910 – March 22, 2001) was an American animator, director, producer, voice actor, cartoon artist, and musician whose film and television cartoon characters entertained millions of people for much of the 20th century. After working odd jobs in the first months of the Great Depression, Hanna joined the Harman and Ising animation studio in 1930. During the 1930s, Hanna steadily gained skill and prominence while working on cartoons such as Captain and the Kids. In 1937, while working at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Hanna met Joseph Barbera. The two men began a collaboration that was at first best known for producing Tom and Jerry. In 1957, they co-founded Hanna-Barbera, which became the most successful television animation studio in the business, creating and/or producing programs such as The Flintstones, The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs, and Yogi Bear. In 1967, Hanna-Barbera was sold to Taft Broadcasting for $12 million, but Hanna and Barbera remained heads of the company until 1991. At that time, the studio was sold to Turner Broadcasting System, which in turn was merged with Time Warner in 1996; Hanna and Barbera stayed on as advisors. Hanna and Barbera won seven Academy Awards and eight Emmy Awards. Their cartoons have become cultural icons, and their cartoon characters have appeared in other media such as films, books, and toys. Hanna-Barbera's shows had a worldwide audience of over 300 million people in their 1960s heyday, and have been translated into more than 28 languages. more…
