Taking a little break from trying to finish watching the rest of ASTRO BOY.

A few days ago I watched BATMAN: THE RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS, which is an animated feature sequel to the 1966 Batman TV series, starring the voices of Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar. Alas, the voices of the Penguin, the Riddler, and the Joker have been replaced, since Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, and Cesar Romero are no longer with us. It was good, but not great. The vocal impersonations of the now-deceased actors are passable if you don't think about it too hard, but there are a number of visual choices the animation producers made which spoil the illusion of a sequel, as does a background score which - when it chooses to evoke the original BG music score of the TV series by Nelson Riddle and Billy Mays, is good - but too often it segues back into the mode of the more cinematic, dramatic music scoring heard in the DC animated series & features of the 1990s-2000s. While that music is fine for those cartoons, here it breaks the mood and doesn't feel true to the spirit of the 1966 TV series. Overall this had the potential to be a much bigger train wreck than it turns out to be, but while most aspects of it are decent, it falls short not so much in the animation itself, the voice acting, or the script/plot, but in the details. There are just a number of puzzling choices made by the producers that make me wonder "Why??"

This morning I started watching SCOOBY-DOO: MYSTERY INCORPORATED, which aired on Cartoon Network a couple of years back. This is a complete reboot of the original series, but a good one. By that I mean it gives its viewing audience credit for some intelligence, and tries to give the characters a little actual development and flesh them out a bit, and while they do get a lot of mileage out of self-mockingly referencing "...and I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!" in every episode, this version of S-D is nowhere near as mind-numbingly formulaic and repetitious as the original series was. While the greatest mystery of the original premise is never solved (i.e., how can a dog talk, read, and have an almost-human level of intelligence), we do find out some things about Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma. This series established that they are teenagers in high school (although I haven't seen an episode where they're actually in school yet) and live in a town named Crystal Cove, self-proclaimed as "The Most Hauntedest Place on Earth". We meet all of their parents, which goes a long ways towards explaining why they are all such weird kids. We find out that Daphne and Velma are both pining away with unrequited romantic feelings for Fred and Shaggy, respectively (Fred is just completely oblivious, while Shaggy is totally devoted to Scooby). And there is an ongoing subplot running through the entire series of 52 episodes.
