Scooby-Doo has survived the test of time to be one of the most endearing characters to emerge from hundreds that Joseph Barbera and William Hanna jointly created over decades. Nobody is quite sure why.
Whatever magical appeal the goofy, gangley pup holds in our hearts and imaginations, Warner Animation Group with Dallas and Montreal based Reel FX is taking the newly animated Scoob! to an entirely new level amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Warner Bros is joining the experiment to fast-track high-quality pictures into the home during the current COVID-19 home quarantine. Scoob!, the Tony Cervone-directed animated feature will be offered for a 48-hour rental via PVOD for $19.99 or premium digital ownership for $24.99 beginning on Friday, May 15, the date that the film was set to be released in theaters prior to the pandemic.
The film’s voice over line-up includes Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo with Will Forte, Zac Efron, Gina Rodriguez and Amanda Seyfried playing Mystery Inc. members Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne. Mark Wahlberg, Jason Isaacs, Kiersey Clemons, Ken Jeong and Tracy Morgan also star in the film, which is intended to be the first installment of a cinematic universe featuring Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters.
