Scooby’s Escape from Atlantis originally aired on September 26, 1981 and is the first part of the second episode of the second season of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show.
In this episode we find the gang in the underwater world of Atlantis where they meet an ancient Greek Centaur.
Scooby’s Escape from Atlantis – Episode Review
The episode begins with the gang on a cruise ship where Shaggy, Scrappy and Scooby are tanning. Scrappy is even wearing protective eyewear.
A storm hits the boat and knocks the gang into a whirlpool that brings them down the city of Atlantis. Hearing a horse, they uncover a Centaur which is a half-man half horse. The Centaur explains that nobody who enters Atlantis is ever allowed to leave.
The remainder of the episode is just one big long chase scene until the gang get sucked back into the whirlpool and land back on the ship deck. – just in time for the cruise’s costume party.
My Thoughts
I give this episode a 2.5 out of 10
Atlantis was cool enough, but this episode was mostly just one big chase scene. The red-headed Centaur was a bit too weird for me as well.
Join me next week when I will be covering Excalibur Scooby. Until then, STAY SPOOKY!!!
