About Googie[]
Googie is a young female adult. She has strawberry blonde hair, which appears orange at times, and blue eyes. She wears a purple singlet, a turquoise skirt, purple heels and turquoise socks. Her accessories include turquoise earrings and a purple headband.
Googie cheers enthusiastically for Shaggy at his auto race and stands by him even after his transformation into a werewolf. However, despite this, she is slightly offensive calling Shaggy a "nerd" whilst telling him off for (what she had believed) was him acting immature.
History[]
She cheered for Shaggy during his auto race in Tyler County and later accompanied him to the drive-in cinema. Googie was irritated when Shaggy began acting up, unaware that it's because he's starting to turn into a werewolf. Googie was kidnapped by the Hunch Bunch, along with Shaggy, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, and brought to Transylvania; where Dracula forced Shaggy to enter a monster road race, by bargaining back the latter's humanity. Googie supported Shaggy during his ordeal. She also drove along the race course with Scrappy, using a radio to contact Shaggy and warn him about obstacles up ahead.
She and Scrappy were very nearly dumped into a lava pit by the Hunch Bunch but were rescued in the nick of time by Scooby and Shaggy. Later, during the race, she and Scrappy rode in a separate cart. They rescued Scooby-Doo when Genghis Kong was tickling his belly and helped Shaggy win the race. She then escaped back home with the others, where Shaggy reverted to his regular self. She then watched a movie with Shaggy and the Doo family, unaware that Dracula and the Hunch Bunch were watching them from outside the window, planning their revenge.
Trivia[]
- Googie may have been a cheerleader.
- Since the film was left open-ended, Shaggy and Googie would date beyond this film. It's likely they never actually "break up" because she was created for the film and it's the last of the Superstar Ten series with just Shaggy and the dogs. It is implied she lives happily ever after with Shaggy and the Doo family.
- Her clothing color scheme is indirectly linked to the Googie architecture theme from the 1940s–1960s USA, which features sharp corners, geometric shapes, and bright, neon colors. This style is most popular amongst motels, coffee houses and gas stations. This affiliation matches based on Shaggy’s love of cars and racing.
- During the majority of the film, her eyes were void of pupils; only in several scenes was this animation error corrected.
