Every four years, the Olympic Games captivate America with sporting events featuring athletes from around the world. In 1977, Hanna-Barbera capitalized on the huge popularity of the 1976 Olympics and the TV series Battle of the Network Stars by creating a cartoon version of the Olympics. It featured Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf as announcers and pitted cartoon teams called the Scooby Doobies, Yogi Yahooeys, and Really Rottens against one another in unconventional sporting events that took place around the globe. The Scooby Doobies team was composed mainly of 1970s cartoon characters like Scooby-Doo, the Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, and Captain Caveman; the Yogi Yahooeys was made up of 1950s and 1960s characters such as Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, and Boo-Boo Bear; the Really Rottens included villains like Mumbly, the Dalton Brothers, and the Creepleys. In all, 45 cartoon characters faced off in events as varied as downhill skiing, swamp-buggy racing, cliff diving, fox hunting, three-legged kilt racing, photographing the Loch Ness Monster, and rickshaw racing. The Really Rottens could always be counted on to cheat by employing every imaginable dirty trick, but their team always got what they deserved thanks to the use of replays and hidden "cheater cameras." As for the Scooby Doobies and the Yogi Yahooeys, the team members consistently tried their quirky best to secure a victory for their team. Scooby's All Star Laff-A-Lympics is silly cartoon fun that evokes plenty of childhood memories and is ripe for sharing with a whole new generation of kids. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
