Mystery of the living toys
"Toy Scary Boo" stuck in my mind for a long time after watching on first watch in the best of ways. Absolutely loved it on first watch, primarily the setting, the atmosphere and the ending. Also knew that the Scooby Doo franchise could already do episodes centered around toys very well, have always been quite fond of 'The New Scooby Doo Mysteries' episode "Night of the Living Toys" and 'The Scooby Doo Show's "The No Face Zombie Chase" also made good use of a toy factory setting.
Have often seen "Toy Scary Boo" cited as a fan favourite and it is not hard at all to see why. It is as brilliant as reputed and for me, and it has always been the case with me, it is easily one of the best episodes of 'What's New Scooby Doo'. Of Season 1, a season where nearly half the episodes were great, it is my very easy pick for the best episode. Between this and "Night of the Living Toys", the two are not in the same league as each other, am fond of the latter but this is quite special.
Once again, the animation is full of vibrant colour, atmosphere and rich detail. The music is never discordant with the action (which "Toy Scary Boo" is full of) and is appealing on its own as well. The intro is memorable, theme song and visuals wise. 'What's New Scooby Doo' hit more than they missed with their chase scenes and songs and this one does not disappoint.
Absolutely loved the setting as predicted, it is very nostalgic (as somebody who has always adored toys) and has the right amount of colour and creepiness. The toys are very, very eerie. The mystery is very diverting with a surprising number of red herrings, which is not something one sees a lot in the franchise. The voice acting is very good.
Much has been said of the ending whenever "Toy Scary Boo" is discussed and for very good reason. The twist is absolutely ingenious, and not just the cleverest and most shocking reveal of the show but one of the most of both adjectives of the entire franchise. One of the few endings of the franchise to leave me completely floored on first watch. The mix of old and new was a pleasure to see. The writing is very funny with Shaggy and Scooby in particular, the supporting characters are suitably colourful and eccentric and the unconventional gang pairings this time are interesting and actually work.
In short, brilliant. 10/10.
