It was the last Hanna-Barbera property to be overseen by founders William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, who served as executive producers. It wasn't a critical success, but it grossed almost $300 million at the worldwide box office and spawned a more family-friendly sequel two years later. It also pushes its PG rating pretty hard (it was originally supposed to be PG-13, and its first cut even received an R rating) with many raunchy jokes and double entendres. The film is more of a self-aware parody of the Scooby-Doo franchise than a straight adaptation. Until one day they're all invited to an amusement park to once again solve a mystery together. The cast also features Rowan Atkinson as Emile Mondavarious, the head of Spooky Island.Īfter a sudden break-up of Mystery Inc., the gang had gone about their separate ways for some time. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Linda Cardellini as Velma, and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy. Rowan Atkinson’s Mondavarious almost didn’t return, and Gosnell revealed Shaggy’s ( Scream's Matthew Lillard) kiss with Mary Jane (Isla Fisher) was cut so as not to “ isolate Scooby from the win.Scooby-Doo is the 2002 live action adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon franchise, written by James Gunn, and directed by Raja Gosnell starring Freddie Prinze Jr. Reshoots and multiple cuts demonstrate there was no clear plan for the ending. The confusion over Smithers’ role emphasizes the filmmakers' difficulty in completing the movie. It’s unclear how he would have factored into the main plot, making little sense since he was caught in Scooby-Doo’s opening. However, an alternate ending would have seen Smithers unmasked as the movie’s villain. Old Man Smithers was intended to appear as an onlooker in the crowd on Spooky Island – just one of several deleted scenes from Scooby-Doo’s R-rated cut. Scooby-Doo’s filmmakers knew Scrappy’s actions could prove controversial, so another ending was shot with a different villain as a backup plan. This would have made him a sympathetic villain, as opposed to a merciless monster loathed by the Mystery Inc.
This idea could have been taken much further, showing how Scrappy was manipulated by the demons and reduced to a naïve pawn. An explanation for his behavior was hastily added, with producer Charles Roven revealing he was changed to be “ misguided and actually taken advantage of by the creatures.” However, the filmmakers’ solution was to merely have Velma (Linda Cardellini) state Scrappy was corrupted by the Daemon Ritus’ mysterious power. Speaking on the DVD commentary, producer Richard Suckle admitted that “ a lot of people we previewed the movie for had some concerns with Scrappy.” Although parents were aware Scrappy wasn’t well-liked, they didn’t understand why Scooby’s nephew was suddenly evil. Despite this change in characterization, test audiences still weren’t too pleased with Scrappy’s villainous turn. and urinating on Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Accordingly, the filmmakers made Scrappy even more irritating than usual, with a flashback involving him attempting to take control of Mystery Inc. This resulted in Scrappy becoming Scooby-Doo’s villain, intended to play on viewers’ dislike for the character. Gosnell thought the original monster was “ really unsatisfying,” as it wasn’t known to the gang and “ didn’t really come from anywhere”. Although he didn’t elaborate on the Scooby-Doo movie's original villain plan, Gosnell did reveal, “ This monster flew down from the sky and he was going to use the ultimate power to rule the world.” This could have better explained why the Spooky Island guests’ souls were being collected, instead of Scrappy simply absorbing them to transform from a tiny pup into a giant. According to director Raja Gosnell, an early draft of Scooby-Doo featured an entirely different villain, albeit one who made far more sense combined with the Daemon Ritus plot.
