10 Animated Scooby-Doo Ripoffs You Didn't Know Hanna-Barbera Made

Scooby-Doo has had a significant impact on the world of animation, inspiring numerous shows that borrowed elements from its successful formula. Here are some of the most notable Scooby-Doo clones that were released during the 1970s: **The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan (1972)**: This show was inspired by the popular Charlie Chan detective series, featuring a family of detectives who solve mysteries with the help of their talking dog, Popeye. The character of Popeye was clearly influenced by Scooby-Doo, with his cowardly demeanor and sputtering way of talking. **Dynomutt, Dog Wonder (1976-1977)**: Dynomutt was another Hanna-Barbera creation that took the concept of a talking dog solving mysteries and added a superhero twist. Dynomutt was a crime-fighting dog who had a bumbling sidekick named Blue Falcon. The show was a clear attempt to capitalize on the success of Scooby-Doo, but it had its own unique spin on the genre.
