Toon Sports: The Trans-Transylvania 500 (1990)

Time to check back with the Fender Bender 500 from Wake, Rattle, & Roll.

Yogi Bear, Dick Dastardly, Winsome Witch, Top Cat, and the rest of the field get acquainted with some ghouls in "The Trans-Transylvania 500". Shadoe Stevens (American Top 40, ex-Hollywood Squares) is the race announcer.




Hanna-Barbera had previously tried a horrific road race a couple of years prior in "Scooby-Doo & the Reluctant Werewolf", a TV-movie whose plot fell apart about halfway. Unlike this cartoon.

Rating: B.

Not sure if I have ever brought this up here, but honestly the idea of a Scooby gang member competing in a Monster road race sounds interesting... but with a slightly different plot.

I actually have started a fan fic where Fred(during the What's New Scooby Doo era), gets suckered into competing in the race; I figured it would be a fun idea to try, especially after two WNSD episodes had mysteries where Fred competed in races in Mexico and Florida...

It's at my account on Archive Of Our Own, with the title(really original title here)... Fred Jones, Reluctant Werewolf...
