A fun if unexceptional Scooby-Doo! and Scrappy-Doo! cartoon.
Shaggy gets a job as a fortune teller at a carnival with Scooby and Scrappy helping out. When a bully named RB and his girlfriend come to have their fortune told, Shaggy tells them that RB will win every prize at the carnival. RB says that this fortune better come true or he will beat up Shaggy. Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy do everything they can to make the fortune come true.
This is a fast moving episode that never loses its sense of energy or fun. The humor is not laugh out loud funny but it works pretty well and definitely puts a smile on my face. The ways our heroes try to make RB win are delightfully clever. The gang is at their most likable here. As I have said before one thing I love about these cartoons is that is nice to see what these characters we love do when they are not solving mysteries. I also really like the ending gag, as it is another one of those delightful impossible gags involving Scooby and food. These gags have been around since the original series and they are always delightful and charming.
On the downside RB is a rather bland villain and his girlfriend is equally bland.
While not the best Scrappy-Doo! cartoon, this short is certainly fun and isn't that just what you want from a cartoon.
