WB Developing Animated ‘Scooby-Doo’ Film - Blu-ray Forum

The studio is developing an animated Scooby-Doo feature film, returning to the franchise that produced a pair of live-action/animated hybrid films a decade ago. The project has been set up with Atlas Entertainment with Charles Roven and Richard Suckle producing.

Roven and Suckle also produced 2002′s “Scooby-Doo” for Warner Bros., mixing live action actors with the titular Great Dane, which was computer-generated, along with “Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed” two years later. The first film generated $275 million worldwide, and the second followed with $180 million.

The studio has tapped Matt Lieberman to write the script for the new project. Warner Bros. is keeping the logline under wraps.

Jesse Ehrman and Andrew Fischel are overeseeing “Scooby-Doo” for Warners.

The original animated TV series “Scooby-Doo: Where Are You?” was created by Hanna-Barbera and first aired in 1969.

Haven't they been releasing animated films for awhile now?

Mandalorian · 08-27-2013, 02:44 AM

A theatrical quality release would be nice.

Holland Roden for Daphne.

Lehnhart · 08-27-2013, 03:02 AM

Yes, WB is developing this for a animated theatrical release. Definitely interesting. Much better than the live action gunk.

I actually liked the first scooby doo live action film. I remember seeing it with my brother when I was 10. I can't wait for this to come out! Love scooby doo! Can't wait for next year when the scooby doo/wwe animated movie comes out also!

Um, we are discussing VOICES for an ANIMATED film, right?
(And that Matthew Lillard took his one redeeming Shaggy performance from the '02 movie, and took it on to replace retiring 70-something Casey Kasem in the animated DTV's?)

Hopefully, Warner's got the early-00's post-CN Scooby/HB-bashing from the first two films all out of their system by now, and planning to do a more reverent fan-kissup straight version, without the angrily dopey/moronic "deconstruction" gags.
Raja Gosnell need not apply. (Or at least, here's one instance where I'm hoping Sony will keep him busy with Smurfs sequels...)

Really hoping for the best. I liked the first 'Scooby-Doo' film, but I love the idea of a theatrical animated film. Really, really want this to turn out well. Here's hoping.

Frank Welker? It's hard to think of anyone else, seeing how used I am voicing Fred in the show and in other media.

Ditto. I really hope Where Are You? is released on Blu-ray.

Me too, I'd buy it. I have all the original Hanna-Barbera series on DVD, including 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies', '13 Ghosts', etc. I always loved the series, and the characters, so I really hope this movie lives up to those standards.
