Synopsis:

Sports, spoofs, and shenanigans abound when three teams of favorite Hanna-Barbera characters – the Scooby Doobies, the Yogi Yahooeys and the Really Rottens compete for glory in all 24 original episodes of this fan-favorite series. Hosted by yellow-jacketed commentators Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf, the fractured face-offs feature other animated immortals joining Scooby Doo including Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Wally Gator, Dynomutt and many more. Hilarious events include Skateboard Polo and the Three-Legged Kilt Race, plus nontraditional challenges like the Fill up the Oasis Race and the Big Ben Tower Climb. From one outrageous contest to the next, this action-packed collection is an absolute medal-winner!! This Blu-ray collection brings together all the episodes from this fan-favorite, remastered in High Definition. The collection also includes the 2012 special “SCOOBY-DOO! SPOOKY GAMES” as a special feature, which revisited the “Laff-a-Lympics” with Scooby and his pals.

‘Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics’ invites Hanna-Barbera fans to the goofiest sports competition you’ve ever witnessed! The beloved animated series features your favorite cartoon stars facing off in different unique events at various locations including everywhere from popular vacation spots in the US to other countries and even some creepier and more unique stops like Transylvania and even the Moon. It features the animated stars broken down into three competing groups: The Scooby-Doobies, The Yogi-Yahooes, and the Really Rottens as they compete for the coveted gold metal. So gather up the cartoon fans young and old and get ready to revisit one splendidly silly and amusing collection of competing goofiness as only Hanna-Barbera was able to deliver.

‘Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics’ originally debuted in September of 1977 and ran for two seasons before concluding its initial run in October of 1978. It was originally formatted as a multi-hour block with fan favorite series and two unique locations featured for the Laff-A-Lympics fun, and naturally this Blu-ray release doesn’t feature the various series included in between but features both of the beloved Laff-A-Lympics segments for all 24 episodes. The globe-spanning competition features numerous noteworthy animated stars including Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Scooby-Dum, Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear, Doggie Daddy and Augie Doggie, Captain Caveman, Babu, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Wally Gator, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Quick Draw McGraw, Grape Ape, plus Mumbly and Dread Baron, Dinky, Dirty and Dastardly Dalton, The Creepleys, The Great Fondoo and Magic Rabbit, plus quite a few more in addition to Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf who serve as the commentators throughout.

In addition to the vast collection of notable cartoon superstars featured throughout, ‘Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics’ was also noteworthy for the impressive number of locations it showcased. It featured everything from China, The Swiss Alps, England, Athens, Spain and Canada to Florida, Hawaii, Washington D.C. and even Transylvania and the Moon. Each location visited featured a fun collection of events for the teams to face off at that includes more normal competitions like Ice Skating, Baseball, water-skiing, an obstacle course and tug-of-war, along with more silly selections such as a pogo-stick race, Statue of Liberty climb, flying carpet race, and even a lunar foot race and a mermaid rescue to keep things interesting.

‘Laff-A-Lympics’ is a wildly entertaining animated series that’s just over the top and goofy enough to be an absolute blast that will have you laughing, cheering and even booing those twisted Rottens who refuse to play by the rules and are always seeking a shady upper hand in the events. If you’re a fan of Hanna-Barbera that’s never had the pleasure of this immensely entertaining animated series then I can’t encourage you strongly enough to give it a shot; it’s jam-packed with huge cartoon stars and plenty of smaller ones, along with more than enough over the top inane fun to keep you from ever getting the slightest bit bored along the way. Those that are already fans will surely also be thrilled to revisit all of the fun in glorious HD because this one never seems to get old.

The hilarious hijinks as the Scooby-Doobies, Yogi-Yahooes, and Really Rottens all compete for that beloved gold metal are all collected here in one great set for the first time on Blu-ray in HD courtesy of the Warner Archive Collection. The 3-disc ‘Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics’ Blu-ray release brings home all 24 exciting and hilarious episodes of the beloved 1970’s series featuring spectacular High Definition presentations on each which are paired with equally outstanding dual-mono DTS-HD MA soundtracks and fans should be utterly thrilled with the results because the Laff-A-Lympics have certainly never looked or sounded this good before! The collection also features the similar 2012 made-for-video special ‘Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games’ as a fitting extra and if you’re a fan that’s been hoping to see this series make its HD debut on Blu-ray then you shouldn’t be disappointed in the slightest with this tremendous set which is very highly recommended!
