Okay I keep reading stuff on imdb and other website forums about how everyone hated Scrappy Doo.Well I was born in the 80's and I remember as a kid me and the kids I went to school with who watched the Scooby Doo shows loved Scrappy Doo.Most of the people who probaly hated Scrappy Doo are probaly people who were born before they introduced the characther of Scrappy Doo.Alot of people try to say Scrappy Doo almost destroyed the Scooby Doo franchise.Which is a lie. Scooby Doo was almost going to be cancelled until they introduced Scrappy Doo. Scrappy Doo helped keep the show on the air, because kis loved Scrappy Doo.The only reason Scrappy Doo has not been seen since 1988, expect for the Scooby Doo movie is because Warner Bros owns the rights to the Scooby Doo franchise. If William Hanna and Joseph Barbera where still around they would never had let Warner Bros dispesect one of their creations like Warner Bros has done.

I feel like it's one of those things that is popular to say because it's popular to say. When people think of Scrappy Doo now they don't think of how they thought of him, they just think of how 'Scrappy Doo ruined that show' - the same way that when people think of Velma they think lesbian, and when they think of Shaggy they think pothead, or that when they think of who the bad guy was, they think it was *always* the creepy old janitor, and Daphne was *always* the damsel in distress... none of that was really in the cartoon but it all made it into the movie because it was popular as a popular culture joke and somehow it turned into people thinking that's how the show actually was.

i totally agree there. its just like with the ewoks in star wars. until the special edition of the original trilogy came out, i never heard a disparaging word against them. then after those came and all the pointless and baby whining from fanboys about the CGI or the "it changes han's arc but doesnt really" complaint about greedo....people just started picking at the movies and claiming things which became the "popular" argument.

i mean these days i hear people either say that empire is the only good one or some say the first two are. but apparently Jedi is now the "bad one". of course before the special editions came along, these were the "MOST PERFECT AND AWESOME MOVIES, THE BEST TRILOGY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE".

hell it recently happened with Indiana Jones as well. until the last movie came out, i never heard anything negative about any of them. while there was a concensus among fans that Raiders was the best one, they were still viewed as some triumphant trilogy. then the 4th movie comes, many hate it for whatever reason and then its all "raiders is the only good one, the other sucks". its funny to see. lol

but as you said, it became popular to trash stuff so now people do and claim they always felt that way. now i'm sure some people did always hate the ewoks or scrappy doo but they were in the minority.

The ewoks were hated from the very beginning because it demeaned what was an adult story that took itself seriously. I'm pretty sure there's a lot you've "never heard of"!

The people who made this abomination personally hated Scrappy Doo, so they just ASSume everyone else does. I liked the Scrappy Doo character. You have to remember this film was made BY idiots FOR idiots!

I admit I haven't seen one with Scrappy and the whole gang in years. But I hated that Scrappy was the villain when I first saw this. Frankly I prefer the later Live Action movies to the first 2. Also I admit I did like Scrappy in 13 ghosts of Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers, Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, and Scooby Doo and the reluctant werewolf. It's funny how WB released all those on DVD but not any with Scrappy and the whole gang.
