This 'movie' is actually three 1972 episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies stitched together; the Globetrotters crossover was their second appearance after 1972's 'Mystery of Haunted Island.'
The New Scooby-Doo Movies format—hour-long episodes with celebrity guests—was Hanna-Barbera's attempt to compete with primetime variety shows, giving us the unholy union of mystery-solving and basketball exhibition.
