Scooby-Doo (franchise)

Scooby-Doo is an American animated television franchise created by Hanna-Barbera. This comedic mystery series follows the exploits of four teenagers; Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and their canine companion, the titular character, as they travel around in their van, the Mystery Machine, bumping into and solving mysteries. Once solved, the group typically discovers that the perpetrator of the mystery is a disguised person who seeks to exploit a local legend or myth for personal gain.

The franchise began in 1969 with the premiere of the original television series,, before being retuned and spun-off into multiple other incarnations, not just through television series, but also through films, comics, and various other media. The overwhelming, award-winning success of the original shows has cemented them and their characters within the cultural zeitgeist, with the franchise continuing to enjoy a strong following over five decades later.
