Cracked.com has put out an article about that Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue thing, which is particularly timely to me, given that I'd only just watched that James Rolfe "What Happened to Saturday Morning Cartoons?" video, which talked about it, a couple of days ago.
Anyway, in the article, they interviewed a bunch of people who were involved in creating the special. The funniest was probably Townsend Coleman, the voice of Michelangelo of the (1987 cartoon) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who straight up claimed that Mikey was almost assuredly a burnout (and that his prototype during auditions was Jeff Spicoli), so it was kind of weird for him to be there.
One of the other guys talks about how they couldn't get the Scooby Doo gang to be in it and that it probably would have been hypocritical for Shaggy to have been giving anti-drug advice anyway. (This, despite the original Scooby Doo show creators supposedly not being aware of/intending/admitting to Shaggy's reputation as a stoner.)
