Scooby-Doo is a huge problem for Hollywood, and it’s a dog. A big-screen re-imagining of Hanna-classic Barbara’s cartoon series seems absurd as we head toward the year’s end. But that’s exactly what some internet users are doing right now. However, in terms of film discussion, we’re maintaining quite consistent this year.
The Characters in Scooby-Doo Movie
There haven’t been any new films featuring Scooby-Doo since 2004 when he was last seen in theatres. Following the death of Hanna-Barbara veteran Don Messick, Neil Fanning filled in as a voice actor for the renowned character. Scream, Hackers’ Matthew Lillard, She’s All That’s Freddie Prinze Jr., Buffy’s Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Cruel Intentions’ Sarah Michelle Gellar all accompanied Elle Fanning on the red carpet (Freaks and Geeks, Legally Blonde).
Why SCOOB! Is Already Upsetting a Large Number of Fans
Despite initially receiving mixed reviews, audiences have come to appreciate the live-action adaptations of Mystery Incorporated as being as close as you can get to picture-perfect recreations of classic cartoon characters. Indeed, Casey Kasem’s Shaggy was so eerie in Lillard’s portrayal that he was invited to take up the part in television and direct-to-DVD films after Kasem retired in 2009, and he has played it ever since.
In 2014, I was cautiously optimistic about the prospect of a new Scooby-Doo animated picture based on Matthew Lillard’s work with Shaggy over the past ten years. Sticking to its animated beginnings would eliminate the necessity for a big-screen Scooby movie to replace the show’s already excellent voice cast.
Any brand synergy Scoobpledge !’s to reintroduce the less well-known properties of Hanna Barbera to a new audience could be expected to create. Children who are used to seeing Lillard, Kate Miccuci, and Grey DeLisle may find the new voices jarring. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, a 1980s prequel animation, was the only time we saw Mystery Inc. leader and trap expert Fred Jones voiced by anybody other than Frank Welker.
Is Forte will return in Scooby-Doo Movie?
As soon as Forte was confirmed with Zac Efron, Amanda Seyfried, and Gina Rodriguez, the film’s development began to disintegrate. Despite being directed by Scooby-Doo veteran Tony Cervone, the new film’s cast and release date were announced with virtually no regard for the present cast members. Warner Bros. also failed to warn the cast that their voices would be changed for the big screen, despite the fact that Lillard had been working on the project since 2009 and had been waiting to be asked back.
As of the year 2019, I had become an older person. To put it another way, I’d given up hope that the Scooby-Doo franchise’s foundations wouldn’t be trampled upon by Hollywood casting demands, and I was left with a gloomy acceptance. Big stars are good for billboards and posters for a big-screen remake of a children’s program, yes But, Warner Bros., I must ask you, seriously, is anyone going to see the new Scooby-Doo movie for Will Forte?
Forte, on the other hand, is always appreciated. He’s a charming comic with the kind of puppy dog exuberance that any animated series would be blessed to have. However, unless some Warner Bros. exec genuinely thought the scenes with Kaitlyn Dever’s parents were the best part of Booksmart, or perhaps fondly remembers his guest spots on 30 Rock, there really should be no reason why the official voice of Shaggy—or any members of Mystery Inc.—should be unceremoniously shafted for the potential of a few more ticket sales.
Scoobcast !’s of so-called box office draws is starting to look like the first in a long line of errors in the impending reboot, thanks to the fact that Gina Rodriguez’s appointment as Velma has yet to be reconciled after the actress was harshly attacked for her use of racist insults and terrible behavior. For Jane, the Virgin star, the decision to inject and continue with Rodriguez’s baggage into a family-friendly brand is turning away a lot of fans immediately.
The Scooby-Doo! Mystery Franchise
The Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated franchise is still continuing strong, despite the fact that no 21st century Scooby series has yet matched the success of the 2010-2013 series. Reminiscent enthusiasts may choose to see the most recent television and DVD releases.
With the exception of the disturbing casting calls, Warner Bros.’ most recent teaser has done little to allay fears among the still-vigorous Scooby-Doo fanbase. As a mascot, Frank Welker has been a faithful companion to the mystery solver. Scooby’s voice is still perfect, though a touch creaky, but the idea to give him more vocabulary by having him speak in grammatically coherent and sardonic full phrases looks cheap.
The Scooby-centric episodes of Mystery Incorporated saw the doggie detective speak longer than we’ve ever heard before, but that series was explicitly created to flesh out the iconic characters and explore their dynamics with one another. Scooby as a marketable sidekick is an attempt that falls flat, as it’s hard to tell him from Illumination or Blue Sky when it’s done right. I’m not really sure what I’d include in a Scooby-Doo movie wish list, but a reference to IKEA isn’t one of them.
When Scoob! opens in May 2020, I’ll be there in full support of my long-standing love of the talking dog and his team of intrepid sleuths. I’m crossing my fingers that my presumption that the actors would be underwhelming is erroneous and that my disinterest in any Hanna-Barbara project that doesn’t contain a flower power camper van is utterly mistaken.
Scooby-3D Doo’s animation technique
This technique doesn’t have the Scooby magic, even if you’re viewing it on mute and picturing voice actors with the appropriate rights to those characters’ roles. The original series’ washed-out, scary tones have been replaced by angular, retro-inspired designs that have been lovingly modernized by Mystery Inc. Once upon a time, this show had the potential to scare youngsters who were introduced to it too early because of its unique animation style, quirky character design, and occasionally unpleasant mood.
