Scoob! is a 2020 American computer-animated mystery comedy film based on Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo franchise,[5][6] produced by the Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film is directed by Tony Cervone from a screenplay by Adam Sztykiel, Jack Donaldson, Derek Elliott, and Matt Lieberman, and a story by Lieberman, Eyal Podell, and Jonathon E. Stewart. It stars the voices of Frank Welker as the titular character (the only current television cast member to feature), as well as Will Forte, Gina Rodriguez, Zac Efron, and Amanda Seyfried as Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne respectively, and also features the voices of Mark Wahlberg, Jason Isaacs, Kiersey Clemons, Ken Jeong, and Tracy Morgan as other Hanna-Barbera animated characters.

The film is a reboot of the Scooby-Doo film series, and set in a shared Hanna-Barbera animated multiverse, the film's story follows the formation and the friendship of a group of four teenagers and a dog who solve mysteries named Mystery Incorporated, and, how they are then joined by The Falcon Force, to investigate their biggest and most challenging mystery behind a spooky plot to unleash the monstrous three-headed ghost dog, Cerberus, upon the world, that's in discovery with the supernatural secret legacy and the true purpose of their own mascot.

Plans for a new Scooby-Doo theatrical film began in June 2014, when Warner Bros. announced that they would reboot the Scooby-Doo film series with an animated film. Cervone was hired to direct the film in August 2015, with Dax Shepard being brought to co-direct it in September 2016. By October 2018, Shepard was no longer a part of the project. Much of the cast was hired in March 2019, while animation services were provided by Reel FX Animation Studios.

Scoob! was originally set for a worldwide theatrical release on May 15, 2020, by Warner Bros. Pictures, making it the third theatrical film to feature the Scooby-Doo characters, after Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004). In response to the COVID-19 pandemic causing the closure of theaters across the globe, Warner Bros. made the film available to own digitally in the United States on the same date it was planned to be released in theaters. Scoob! topped digital rental charts in its first three weekends of release and when the film was still theatrically released in select countries beginning in July 2020. The film subsequently received a secondary theatrical release in the United States beginning on May 21, 2021. It received generally mixed reviews from critics, and a sequel is in development.

Plot[]

A young, lonely Shaggy Rogers befriends and adopts a young talking stray Great Dane, who he names Scooby-Doo. On Halloween night, Scooby and Shaggy meet three young detectives named Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley, before venturing into a haunted house. Inside, the kids encounter a ghost, whom they capture and unmask as costumed thief Mr. Rigby. Inspired by the experience, they decide to form a group, Mystery Inc., to solve mysteries together.

Years later, Mystery Inc., having solved many mysteries for ten years, goes into business, with business entrepreneur Simon Cowell as their investor, but Cowell refuses to do business with Scooby and Shaggy involved, causing the pair to feel unimportant and leave Mystery Inc. Later that night, Shaggy and Scooby are terrorized at the Takamoto Bowl that is being haunted by shapeshifting scorpion robots called Rottens. The pair are rescued by Dee Dee Skyes, and, their lifelong idols: Dynomutt, and Brian Cowe, the son of the masked superhero Blue Falcon who has recently retired and passed the mantle to Brian. Dee Dee reveals that The Rottens belong to super-criminal Dick Dastardly, who wants to capture Scooby as part of a plan involving the Great Dane's mysterious connection to the supernatural mystery behind Cerberus' three skulls. Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne, and Velma discover that Dick Dastardly is after Scooby and Shaggy and they head off to Dastardly Demolition to investigate what he wants with them, before he gets to them, including their discovery of a clue behind Scooby's importance relating to his ancestry.

Trapped and terrorized by Dick Dastardly and The Rottens at a creepy abandoned amusement park named Funland that is being haunted by The Rottens, Scooby, Shaggy, Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, and Dee Dee all discover a clue behind Scooby's importance to be a key to something. Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne, and Velma are falling apart without Scooby and Shaggy around, as they reminisce about the good times they all had together. The trio discover that Scooby and Shaggy are investigating the mystery behind Scooby himself with The Falcon Force, and Dastardly impersonates a cop to pull them over and imprisons them in his airship, as The Rottens terrorize them. Escaping with help from one of the Rottens, they make contact with Dee Dee, via Dynomutt. Velma explains that she and the others are being taken to Messick Mountain, where the last skull is located. The group then finds out that Dastardly's plan is to open the gates to the Underworld, in order to rescue his dog, Muttley, who was trapped during an attempt to steal the Underworld's riches, being his second goal. Dastardly needs Scooby to unlock the gates, since he is the last remaining descendant of Alexander the Great's favorite dog, Peritas.

Scooby, Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, and Dee Dee arrive at Messick Mountain and head underground to a hidden Mesozoic island called Mystery Island. There, they find the last skull being guarded by Captain Caveman, and Dastardly impersonates Fred to trick Shaggy into taking him to where Scooby and the skull are. Following a short battle, Dastardly and Shaggy arrive, as Dastardly removes his disguise and steals the last skull. The Rottens then throw the real Fred, Daphne, and Velma out of his airship and Dastardly destroys the Falcon Fury. Dastardly then captures Scooby and takes him to Athens. After Shaggy takes the blame for Scooby's capture and speaks out about how he felt like Scooby's importance would change things and how his own jealousy tears him and Scooby apart, he gives an inspiring speech, and everyone works together to reconstruct the Mystery Machine, in order to pursue Dastardly and rescue Scooby.

Arriving in Athens, Dastardly uses the three skulls to reveal the gates to the Underworld and attempts to use Scooby's paw to open it, only to be interrupted by Scooby's friends in a flying Mystery Machine. The Rottens shoot them down, while Dastardly releases Cerberus; unaware that Dynomutt landed them safely. As Scooby, Dastardly, and the civilians flee from the rampaging Cerberus, Scooby runs to the crash site and reunites with his friends. Dastardly happily reunites with Muttley in the Underworld and they escape while stealing some of Alexander the Great's treasure. While Scooby and Shaggy determine how to trap Cerberus, Fred, Daphne, and Velma discover more of the mystery behind Scooby's ancestry and its connection to the Underworld, as The Falcon Force fly around Cerberus to keep him distracted. With help from the Rottens, Mystery Inc. and friends successfully trap Cerberus back into the Underworld. However, Shaggy sacrifices himself to stay inside the Underworld to lock the gate, following the prophecy of Alexander the Great and Peritas' bond. The gang investigates that there is another exit that continues their prophecy, which Scooby unlocks, and Shaggy is reunited with Scooby and the gang.

The Rottens turn on Dick Dastardly, who is captured and unmasked as he tries to do a double-costume trick that he was the disguise of Simon Cowell. As The Falcon Force take Dastardly and Muttley into custody and arrest them, Mystery Inc. are back home at Venice Beach to unveil their official headquarters. The gang celebrates with the entire town, including The Falcon Force, who gives the gang an upgraded Mystery Machine, before they reignite their team to solve mysteries together again.

The credits then show Mystery Inc. continuing to solve mysteries and save the day while The Falcon Force get new teammates, and Dastardly and Muttley escape from prison.

Production[]

Development[]

On June 17, 2014, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that they would reboot the Scooby-Doo film series with an animated film, then being written by Randall Green.[7][8] On August 17, 2015, Tony Cervone, who had previously worked on several Scooby-Doo projects, was hired to direct the animated film, now with a script by Matt Lieberman. Allison Abbate and Pam Coats produced the film, with Charles Roven and Richard Suckle among its executive producers.[9] Dan Povenmire, the co-creator of the Disney Channel series, Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law, was set to be involved in a creative capacity, and was eventually also credited as an executive producer on the film.[9]

At the 2016 CinemaCon, the film's official title was announced to be S.C.O.O.B., with a plot involving Scooby-Doo and Shaggy rescued by a larger organization of the same name (which is lead by Hanna-Barbera heroes such as Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, Atom Ant, Jabberjaw, Captain Caveman, and Grape Ape), from Dick Dastardly and Muttley (who were manipulating Scooby-Doo for his plot of gaining control of unleashing Cerberus' army and taking over the world), in which has them going on a madcap adventure to save the world from them.[10] The film was intended to lead into a cinematic universe based on Hanna-Barbera properties.[11] In September 2016, it was reported that Dax Shepard would co-write and co-direct the film along with Cervone and Liberman respectively.[12] In October 2018, it was announced that Shepard was no longer part of the project, thus leaving Cervone the solo director once again with Kelly Fremon Craig set to serve as screenwriter instead and Chris Columbus set to join as one of the film's executive producers as well.[13] Ultimately, Adam Sztykiel, Jack Donaldson, Derek Elliott, and Matt Lieberman received screenplay credit, with Lieberman, Eyal Podell, and Jonathon E. Stewart having "story by" billing.

Overtime during production, many Hanna-Barbera characters like Atom Ant, Jabberjaw, and Grape Ape were cut, because, they served no purpose to the movie itself, cluttered the film's storytelling and events, and, had many tendencies of stealing the spotlight from Scooby-Doo. In fact, the film started off as an Avengers-esque espionage team-up film with the Hanna-Barbera canon's use, until the final film became its own supernatural mystery film that focuses more on the friendships about Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine gang (including Scooby-Doo and Shaggy's idolization of The Falcon Force, since childhood) testing their bond and investigating the titular character's supernatural lineage that ties in with his true purpose and how he's the core symbolism of the source material's themes and the gang's dynamic, making it their biggest adventure to which also has Scooby-Doo as the film's main protagonist.[14][15][16] The final film, according to Tony Cervone, even did take a lot of inspiration from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as a result of it being the Scooby-Doo equivalent to that film.[17] Cervone also called the film a "love letter" to Hanna-Barbera, in an interview with Jackson Murphy on animationscoop.com.[18]

Casting[]

In March 2019, Frank Welker was revealed to be reprising his role as Scooby-Doo while Will Forte, Gina Rodriguez, and Tracy Morgan had signed on to voice Shaggy, Velma, and Captain Caveman, respectively.[19] Forte, an avid fan of the Scooby-Doo! franchise whose favorite character is especially Shaggy, was directed to give out his own re-imagined take on Shaggy, while trying his best to make it familiar to Casey Kasem's impression, to which he considers Kasem an icon. Additionally, he also did praise Matthew Lillard's impression, by calling it fantastic.[20] Rodriguez, another fan of the franchise, played Velma as a Latina American after discussing with director Tony Cervone about how they could sneak her heritage into the character.[21] Morgan also talked about loving Captain Caveman growing up, and would even yell out his catchphrase while playing at home.[22]

In May 2019, Zac Efron and Amanda Seyfried were respectively cast as Fred and Daphne.[23] Efron's casting marked a rare occasion in which the character has not been voiced by Welker (who has played Fred in most incarnations since the show's debut in 1969.[24]) Efron (who found the Scooby Gang to be a positive influence by helping people and solving crimes) and Seyfried (who is a dog lover and has long been obsessed over ghost stories) have both grown up as fans of the franchise, as well.[25]

Matthew Lillard and Grey Griffin, the current voices of Shaggy and Daphne (outside the Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe), both expressed their disappointment at not being contacted about the decision to recast their roles.[26][27] Despite this, Lillard wished the film the best of luck, while still getting to voice Shaggy outside of the Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe, including the current direct-to-video films.[28][29] Griffin also went to say that she did not hold bear any hard feelings towards Seyfried or her performance in the film.[30]

In April 2019, Ken Jeong and Kiersey Clemons were announced to be joining the cast.[31] In May 2019, Mark Wahlberg and Jason Isaacs were added as well to voice, with Mckenna Grace, Iain Armitage, Ariana Greenblatt and Pierce Gagnon set as young versions of Daphne, Shaggy, Velma and Fred, respectively.[32][33][34] Isaacs, an avid fan of Wacky Races whose favorite character is even Dick Dastardly, decided to re-imagine his own take on the character, while making him even bigger and stronger.[35]

In March 2020, Simon Cowell joined the cast voicing a fictionalized version of himself.[36] Besides being a business entrepreneur in real life, Cowell is also an avid of the franchise and was thrilled to take his role.[37] In May 2020, days before the film's release, it was revealed that voice acting veteran Billy West had reprised his role as Dick Dastardly's sidekick, Muttley, and that Cowell's son, Eric, also has a voice role.[38][39]

Release[]

Scoob! was originally set for a September 21, 2018 release,[9] before being pushed back to May 15, 2020.[43] On March 24, 2020, the film's theatrical release was delayed indefinitely due to movie theater closures since mid March, because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[44] It was announced on April 21, 2020 that Warner Bros. had cancelled the North American theatrical release and instead make Scoob! available for digital distribution in the United States and Canada through Premium Video on demand on the originally scheduled theatrical date.[45] Variety wrote that releasing the film digitally was "a big risk — and an almost certain loss — for Warner Bros.," but noted the success of Trolls: World Tour in a similar release venue could be a positive sign.[46] As the pandemic receded, Warner Bros. confirmed the film would still play in theaters in select countries with relaxed COVID-19 restrictions beginning July 8, 2020.[47][48] On June 18, it was announced Scoob! would be available for streaming on HBO Max beginning June 26, 2020.[49] The film was eventually reissued in North American theaters for the weekend of May 21-23, 2021.[50] The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray on July 21, 2020.[51]

Reception[]

Box office[]

Scoob! was released in theaters on July 10, 2020 in five countries (France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Vietnam), and grossed $1.8 million in its opening weekend. Warner Bros. announced plans to eventually theatrically release the film into 20 markets.[52] Over its second weekend of release, the film made $243,000 from the Netherlands and $266,000 in Spain, as well as finishing third in France.[53] Over the weekend of July 31, the film made $1.3 million from 13 countries.[54] In Spain, the film had a four-week running total of $1.6 million.[55] When the film was issued in North American theaters on May 21, 2021, it debuted in 8th place at the box office over the weekend with $850,000.[56] As of July 2, 2021, the film has grossed a total of $26.4 million worldwide.[3][4]

VOD sales[]

Scoob! was the top-rented film on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, FandangoNow, Spectrum, and the iTunes Store in its opening weekend. Although Warner Bros. did not report actual figures, the film had a higher sales count than Trolls: World Tour, which made $100 million over its first three days.[57][58][59] It remained the top-rented film across all services in its second weekend, then on three of four services in its third.[60][61] In its fourth week it remained #1 on FandangoNow, while falling to second on Amazon Prime and fourth on the iTunes charts.[62][63]

In its fifth weekend of release Warner Bros. lowered the price from $19.99 to $14.99, and the film finished second on FandangoNow, Amazon Prime, and Spectrum, and fifth on iTunes.[64] While no official numbers were released by Warner Bros., Deadline Hollywood estimated that by mid-June the film had made about 35% to 40% less than Trolls: World Tour (which had itself totaled at least $100 million in sales over its first month).[49] In October 2020, The Hollywood Reporter said the film was the third-most popular PVOD title amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[65]

Critical response[]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 48% based on 149 reviews, with an average rating of 5.30/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Scoob! is fun enough for youthful viewers and some hardcore fans, but never quite solves the mystery of why audiences shouldn't watch old episodes instead."[66] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 43 out of 100 based on 33 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[67]

In his review for The Mercury News, Randy Myers wrote, "Scoob! is a goofy and bright surprise - an imaginative reboot that respects its shaggy dog TV roots but is smart enough to add dashes, not shovelfuls, of wry pop-culture and movie references."[68] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and said, "I'm reasonably happy to report that it's a reasonably diverting reboot. It's also ridiculously overpacked, crammed with Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters from various TV series beyond Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!"[69] USA Today's Brian Truitt, who also gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, found the opening "super-fun" but thought everything else was “Ruh-roh” after that.[70] Peter DeBruge of Variety wrote that "this attractive but calculated attempt to connect Scooby-Doo to other Hanna-Barbera characters abandons the show's fun teen-detective format,"[46] and RogerEbert.com's Christy Lemire gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars, finding the origin story to be "confounding and convoluted for a pretty straightforward Saturday morning cartoon".[71]
