What's New, Scooby-Doo? What's New, Scooby-Doo? What's New, Scooby-Doo? is an American animated mystery comedy series produced by Warner Bros. Animation for The WB television network; it is the ninth incarnation of the "Scooby-Doo" franchise that began with Hanna-Barbera's "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" and the first of such since the previous incarnation, "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", ended in 1991. The series revives the format of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", in which the title character and his companions, Fred Jones; Daphne Blake; Velma Dinkley and Shaggy Rogers, travel to varying locations solving mysteries; this format is modernized for "What's New, Scooby-Doo?", in which the
Scooby-Doo! (film series) of Scooby-Doo began in 1994 by producer Charles Roven. Originally the idea was to make a film with a much darker tone, essentially poking fun at the original cartoon series, much like "The Brady Bunch Movie" and was set for a PG-13 rating. Shaggy was set to be a stoner, Velma and Daphne had a side relationship, and there were many marijuana references. Several rumors about these aspects in the original cartoon series were passed around by fans of "Scooby-Doo", and were to be incorporated into the live action film. "Scooby-Doo" was released on June 14, 2002. Directed by Raja
