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.

"Scooby-Doo" was released on June 14, 2002. Directed by Raja
