Aside from doubling the length of each episode, The New Scooby-Doo Movies differed from its predecessor in the addition of a rotating special guest star slot; each episode featured real world celebrities or well-known animated characters joining the Mystery, Inc. gang in solving mysteries.[3] This concept was later revisited with a similar animated series titled Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, which premiered in 2019.
The New Scooby-Doo Movies was the last incarnation of Scooby-Doo airing on CBS,[4] and also the franchise's final time to feature Nicole Jaffe as the regular voice of Velma Dinkley, due to her marriage and retirement from acting.
