“Scooby Doo, Where Are You?” was a Saturday Morning Cartoon in the era of three network television, and premiered in 1969. Since then, it’s become a major franchise for the Hanna Barbera animation house, and has had more variations than the Marvel universe. “Scoobs!” Is a revival of the main characters, the dog named Scooby Doo (voice of Frank Welker) and his gang of mystery solvers … including Fred (Zac Efron), Daphne (Amanda Seyfried), Velma (Gina Rodriguez) and Scoob’s best friend Shaggy (Will Forte).
“Scoobs!” Is a space adventure, most likely to create a setting for its modern animation, and contains many mind blowing scenes. Also this story is an attempt to establish other Hanna Barbera characters that appear in the film, with Blue Falcon (Mark Wahlberg), Dynomutt (Ken Jeong), Captain Caveman (Tracy Morgan), Muttley (Billy West) and Dick Dastardly (Jason Isaacs) making appearances.
