The Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 was a series of 10 made for TV movies starring the most popular Hanna-Barbera characters, including The Flintstones, Yogi Bear and of course Scooby-Doo.

Now, I can't be the only one who remember these films. I grew up watching all of them throughout the 80s and 90s, including taping half of them and watching them over and over again.

They were so much fun that they made me LIKE Scooby-Doo (and I can't stand the series!)!

My all time favorite is "The Good, The Bad and the Huckleberry Hound". Even though it was a big parody of everything western I just loved the characters, the story, the setting and even some of the music! It was just so epic, and I LOVED Huck's return from the dead scene.

Second would be "The Jetsons meet The Flintstones", mainly because as a kid I was blown away by the fact that two completely different families from very different time periods were co-existing together.

"Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School" would be my third favorite. I just liked the concept of Shaggy being a teacher to the daughters of the world's greatest monsters.

Too bad these movies were never released on DVD, not even as extra features on their respective DVD sets. I can't be the only one who saw and enjoyed these films as a kid.

Actually, Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School is available as a separate release. In fact, I think you can get it in a bungle with 2 other "old school" Scooby Doo movies (the Reluctant Werewolf and Meets the Boo Brothers) if you look hard enough.

Personally, I hate it. It's another example of Scooby Doo done wrong. For me, Scooby Doo only works when its done "right".

Yeah, I recall the Scooby movies being released due to the popularity of the character.

I personally enjoy Scooby Doo when its different from the norm. I never (and I mean NEVER) enjoyed the repetitive nature of the original show (gang goes to a place, a crime involving a ghost/monster happens, they get chased, they figure out a plan, capture the creature and discover who it really was).

When Scooby actually confronts real monster its just fun for me. But this is a matter of personal taste.

HAPPY DAY!

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I just found a YouTube user who has many of the Hanna Barbera movies on his account, including... THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE HUCKLEBERRY!

Here's his account:

I remember renting and watching the Scooby-Doo movies on Cartoon Network (Back when they had GOOD cartoons). I only saw bits and pieces of The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones. I don't think I ever saw any of the other "films" on the list.
