When the shot cuts to Velma again, her right hand is up and about to pull the string. (00:53:35)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When we see the very first close shot of Emile Mondavarious' desk, the black lampshade on the desk is very close to the books that stand on his desk.

Continuity mistake: When Daphne is fighting on the roof with the wrestler, you can see the lever in the background which Daphne is supposed to pull.

Question: How did Mary Jane get Scooby snacks? I thought they were made just for Scooby, (Hence the name). I've seen a lot of episodes of Scooby-Doo but not every single one, so that's why I'm asking.

Answer: There are some episodes where they show the factories where Scooby Snacks are manufactured, so they aren't just made for him. Scooby is shown to love them as a puppy, so it's possible the dog was named after the snacks because he loved them so much.
