Morning Cartoon: Night of the Living Doo, from the director of Too Many Cooks

Last week, the internet exploded with admiration for "Too Many Cooks," an impressively bizarre short film by Casper Kelly.  But this wasn't the first time Kelly had created a genre-bending one-shot work of weirdness for the Cartoon Network, for whom he also created "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell" and "Stroker and Hoop."  In 2001, he and his "Stroker and Hoop" co-creator Jeffrey G Olsen produced NIGHT OF THE LIVING DOO, an animated special (originally shown in pieces) that teams Scooby and the gang with Gary Coleman and David Cross.  It's surprisingly funny, even if you think the Scooby-Doo parody has been done to death.  (His 1999 short THE SCOOBY DOO PROJECT is similarly inspired.)
