Are there people out there who haven’t met Scooby-Doo and his gang of friends? The family-friendly franchise has taken over the children’s cartoon world, from ghosts to mysteries, since 1969. From hit movies to hit episodes, almost every kid’s childhood had Scooby-Doo in it, with the crossovers being the most watched. Musicians, show characters, and even wrestlers have all made a legendary appearance on the show, giving even older watchers something to enjoy. There have been dozens of crossovers, but these are the best Scooby-Doo crossover episodes or movies.
“And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.”
Scooby-Doo
Dean and Sam Winchester
Supernatural has a crossover with the Scooby-Doo gang in Supernatural’s season 13, episode 16. Supernatural is a show produced by CW and follows two brothers who are demon hunters. It is a popular show, and ran from 2005 to 2020. In their episode Scoobynatural, Dean and Sam Winchester stumble upon a cursed TV and get sucked into a Scooby-Doo cartoon where they meet the characters. It takes a darker twist, mixing real ghosts in a show full of fake ghosts. This crossover is one of pop culture’s biggest and most popular.
KISS
Scooby-Doo has also met the Rock and Roll sensation KISS in Scooby-Doo and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery (2015). KISS is known for its glam rock, extravagant make-up, and costumes. It was formed in 1973. They finished their final tour and announced their retirement in 2023. The gang combines forces with KISS to defeat an evil taking over during Halloween night, and the episode is priceless. It mixes KISS’s fictional band lore with the traditional Scooby-Doo charm, and includes multiple songs by them. This was revolutionary for viewers of all ages.
WWE
Scooby-Doo: WrestleMania Mystery (2014) was another crossover perfect for all ages. WrestleMania is a well-known, high-stakes WWE competition held every spring. The gang goes to WWE City, where they meet wrestling professionals, like John Cena and AJ Lee. The wrestlers and the gang work together to find who is sabotaging the event. It, of course, shows a wrestling match towards the end. It became part of an entirely different pop culture area, which became a huge hit.
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Straight Outta Nowhere (2021) is a recent movie that brings Scooby and the gang to Nowhere, Kansas. Courage is a character from a horror cartoon from 1999 – 2002, but has returned for crossovers. It is a story of a scared dog dealing with many serious, dangerous problems and trauma. In the crossover, the gang gets pulled into Kansas, and now the two dogs and the gang must fight together to take down a dangerous monster. The crossover adds some of Scooby-Doo’s humor and whimsy while maintaining a scarier vibe. It is an epic movie, combining different atmospheres while keeping each original charm.
Johnny Bravo
Johnny Bravo (1997) is another crazy crossover in season 1, episode 2, segment 2. Johnny Bravo follows an overly confident man who thinks he has it all, but is slightly more awkward than one might think. It is a comedy transferred over heavily in the crossover. Johnny gets a ride to a haunted mansion with Scooby and the gang, where he constantly flirts and brings in his charming humor. The crossover is fun and full of chaos with a parody vibe to it, that you don’t see in other crossovers. It is the perfect crossover for something more humorous.
There is nothing more fun than seeing shows have famous crossovers, because who doesn’t love pointing at the TV and saying “what are they doing here?” What are your favorite Scooby-Doo crossovers?
