Back in September we passed along
the news that
Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt will be on DVD soon, and now we have a date and other new information! Warner Home Video and Hanna-Barbera are all set to bring this out on
March 7th, featuring
The Complete Series of the Saturday morning cartoon from the mid-'70s. Here is Warner's description of the release:
The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour chronicles the outlandish animated union of man and beast to solve crimes - and brings comic relief to the kid in everyone! As the catchy theme song celebrates: "...while Scooby is haunted by a spooky ghost, Dynomutt is doin' what he does most!" That means becoming a mechanical menace to the bad guys, faithfully assisting his action-hero comrade The Blue Falcon, who programmed all his go-go gadgets. Now you can use your own in-home mechanical gadgets to view Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Dum (a dim-witted cousin first introduced here) and the Mystery Inc. crew whenever you feel like walking and watching the dogs!
SRP is $44.98 for 4 DVDs. We know it contains extras, because our previous news story was based on a report from Mark Evanier that he had recorded interviews for the set along with others such as "
Fred Silverman, Iwao Takamoto, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, and several of the original voices, including Gary Owens." Evanier also commented that "
the folks doing the 'extras' are really doing a thorough job." However, we don't have the complete details on the bonus material just yet. We'll bring that to you (along with full-sized cover art) just as soon as Warner makes them available. Please stand by!
