Title
Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!
Description
After Daphne, Fred, Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby-Doo help send Coco Diablo to jail, the team experiences a dry spell and is stuck assisting the community with menial tasks and taking on boring cases. A year later, on Halloween, several ghosts begin terrorizing the town, and it's up to them to solve the mystery.
In this film, Velma is explicitly depicted as a lesbian who develops a crush on Coco Diablo. This is not the first time an animated Velma has been depicted as queer. Producer Tony Cervone, for the TV series Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated (2010 - 2013), posted on his Instagram in 2020 that the show attempted to portray Velma as a lesbian but faced representation limitations due to the era in which the show was made. An article from Out recorded some of the comments and responses from Cervone before he disabled post comments.
