== Film and rerun history ==

=== Television films, reruns, and direct-to-video films ===
From 1987 to 1988, Hanna-Barbera Productions produced ''[[Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10]]'', a series of [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] [[television film]]s featuring their most popular characters, including [[Yogi Bear]], [[Huckleberry Hound]], [[The Flintstones]], and [[The Jetsons]]. Scooby-Doo, Scrappy-Doo and Shaggy starred in three of these films: ''[[Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers]]'' (1987), ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School]]'' (1988), and ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf]]'' (1988). These three films took their tone from the early-1980s ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' entries, and featured the characters encountering actual monsters and ghosts rather than masqueraded people. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy later appeared as the narrators of the television film ''[[Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights|Arabian Nights]]'', originally broadcast by [[TBS (TV network)|TBS]] in 1994, [[Don Messick]]'s final outing as the original voice of Scooby-Doo.

Reruns of ''Scooby-Doo'' have been in [[broadcast syndication|syndication]] since 1980, and have also been shown on [[cable television]] networks such as [[TBS (TV network)|TBS Superstation]] (until 1989) and [[USA Network]] (as part of the [[USA Cartoon Express]] from 1990 to 1994). In 1993, ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'', having just recently ended its network run on ABC, began reruns on Cartoon Network. With [[Turner Broadcasting]] purchasing Hanna-Barbera in 1991, in 1994 the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise became exclusive to the Turner networks: Cartoon Network, TBS Superstation, and [[Turner Network Television|TNT]].<ref name="STUEP10">Shostak, Stu (December 3, 2014). "[http://www.stusshow.com/archives.php Interview with Jerry Beck] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404053345/http://www.stusshow.com/archives.php |date=April 4, 2019}}". ''Stu's Show.'' Retrieved October 7, 2014. [[Jerry Beck]] and host Stu Shostak discuss the early history of Cartoon Network and the Turner-run version of Hanna-Barbera when discussing the career for former CN executive Stu Snyder.</ref> [[Television in Canada|Canadian]] network [[TELETOON (Canada)|Teletoon]] began airing ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' in 1997, with the other ''Scooby'' series soon following. When TBS and TNT ended their broadcasts of H-B cartoons in 1998, ''Scooby-Doo'' became the exclusive property of both Cartoon Network and sister station [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]].

With ''Scooby-Doo's'' restored popularity in reruns on Cartoon Network,<ref name="STUEP10" /> [[Warner Bros. Animation]] and Hanna-Barbera (by then a subsidiary of [[Warner Bros.]] following the merger of [[Time Warner]] and Turner Entertainment in 1996) began producing one new ''Scooby-Doo'' direct-to-video film a year, beginning in 1998.<ref name="STUEP10" /> These films featured a slightly older version of the original five-character cast from the ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' days. The first four DTV entries were ''[[Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island]]'' (1998), ''[[Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost]]'' (1999), ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders]]'' (2000), and ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase]]'' (2001). Frank Welker was the only original voice cast member to return for these productions. Don Messick had died in 1997 and Casey Kasem, a strict vegetarian, relinquished the role of Shaggy after having to provide the voice for a 1995 [[Burger King]] commercial.<ref name="KasemVegetarian" /> Therefore, [[Scott Innes]] took over as both Scooby-Doo and Shaggy ([[Billy West]] voiced Shaggy in ''Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island''). [[B. J. Ward (actress)|B.J. Ward]] took over as Velma, and [[Mary Kay Bergman]] voiced Daphne until her death in November 1999, and was replaced by [[Grey DeLisle]].

These first four direct-to-video films differed from the original series format by placing the characters in plots with a darker tone and pitting them against actual supernatural forces. ''Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island'', featured the original 1969 gang, reunited after years of being apart, fighting [[Louisiana Voodoo|voodoo]]-worshiping cat creatures in the [[Louisiana]] bayou. ''Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost'' featured an author (voice of [[Tim Curry]]) returning to his [[Massachusetts]] hometown with the gang, to find out that an event is being haunted by the author's dead ancestor Sarah, who was an actual witch. ''The Witch's Ghost'' introduced a [[goth rock]] band known as The Hex Girls, who became recurring characters in the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise.

''Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase'' was the final production made by the Hanna-Barbera studio, which was absorbed into parent company [[Warner Bros. Animation]] following William Hanna's death in 2001. Warner Animation continued production of the direct-to-video series while also producing new ''Scooby-Doo'' series for television.

The direct-to-video productions continued to be produced concurrently with at least one entry per year. Two of these entries, ''[[Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico]]'' (both 2003) were produced in a retro-style reminiscent of the original series, and featured Heather North and Nicole Jaffe as the voices of Daphne and Velma, respectively. Later entries produced between 2004 and 2009 were done in the style of ''What's New, Scooby-Doo'', using that show's voice cast. Entries from 2010 on use the original 1969 designs and feature [[Matthew Lillard]] as the voice of Shaggy, the character Lillard portrayed in the live-action theatrical ''Scooby-Doo'' films. Two ''Scooby-Doo!'' movies were released in 2016, named ''[[Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon]]''.

=== ''Scooby-Doo!'' direct-to-video specials ===
Beginning in 2012, Warner Bros. Animation began producing direct-to-video special episodes in the style of the concurrently produced films for inclusion on ''Scooby-Doo'' compilation DVD sets otherwise including episodes from previous Scooby series. These include ''[[Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games]]'', included on the July 2012 release ''Scooby-Doo! Laff-A-Lympics: Spooky Games'',<ref>''Scooby-Doo! Laff-A-Lympics: Spooky Games''. 2012.
