Operation S.C.R.A.P.P.Y Novelisation

The Operation S.C.R.A.P.P.Y Novelisation is the third of the Short Stories written and released for the series. While it tells the same story as the original film, we get to see things from the perspective of an elderly Scooby Doo and gain more insight into the context of the scenario and world. The story ends with Scooby hitching a lift to Umina - he's going to find his oldest friend.

Behind the Scenes
This story was actually the second written by author J.D. O'Hallaran, however for reasons that can be read about on its own page, The Kaiser's Ambition was chosen to be released second, in place of this novelisation.

The novelisation sticks fairly close to the original film, but it does sometimes deviate in the way that scenes are represented and described. For example, the novelisation makes Scooby's time in Hell a little bit more ambiguos; Scooby himself posing the question of exactly what he experienced to the audience. The novelisation also goes into a tiny bit more detail on the note that Scooby has, including a reference to the writer and an explanation of where it came from.
