<strong>Title:</strong> Scooby-Doo<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 2002<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Raja Gosnell<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> The long-running cartoon from <a href="/players/P____93352/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>William Hanna</a> and <a href="/players/P____80658/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Joseph Barbera</a> that began life in 1969 as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? becomes this live-action, tongue-in-cheek comedy-adventure featuring a computer-generated version of the easily frightened, mush-mouthed Great Dane. Freddie Prinze Jr. stars as Fred, the blonde, confident, ascot-sporting leader of Mystery Inc., a ghost-busting service that exposes phony supernatural phenomena as the work of shysters. Working with Fred are: his rich, beautiful girlfriend, Daphne (<a href="/players/P____26360/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Sarah Michelle Gellar</a>), who has a bad habit of getting kidnapped by villains; Velma (<a href="/players/P___228432/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Linda Cardellini</a>), the real brains of the group who pines secretly for Fred; cowardly slacker and dog's best friend Shaggy (<a href="/players/P___196768/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Matthew Lillard</a>); and the snack-gobbling pet pooch Scooby. However, after solving its latest case involving a beleaguered toy company owner (<a href="/players/P_____1595/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Pamela Anderson</a>), the group fractures over Fred's habit of grabbing credit for everyone's hard work, despite the pleas of Shaggy and Scooby. Two years later, they are reunited at Spooky Island, a theme park and teen spring break destination that owner Emile Mondavarious (<a href="/players/P_____2727/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Rowan Atkinson</a>) claims is plagued with ghosts. Suspicious as usual of any claims involving the paranormal, the Mystery Inc. clan is soon probing a scheme involving ancient rites, summoned spirits, and brainwashed college students, forcing the group members to resolve their differences and uncover the truth. Directed by <a href="/players/P____85595/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Chris Columbus</a> protégé Raja Gosnell, Scooby-Doo features the voice of Scott Innes as the title character. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong>  A number of my guilty pleasure films involve getting away to tropical destinations. Besides Joe vs the Volcano, there is the wacky Captain Ron which I've probably seen upwards of 30 times and somehow never gets old. "Have ya heard of Pomme de terre? We're going there." "Doesn't that mean potato?" Cabin Boy is too much crazy for some, but I can never get enough of it. Jealous giants, shark men, virginity stealing goddesses and flying cupcakes that spit tobacco are all encountered along the way to a Hawaiian resort. Fun times. Scooby-Doo had the gang heading to a haunted island theme park. And a blonde Isla Fischer! Jaws the Revenge has Ellen Brody finishing the job her husband started in the beautiful clear blue seas of the Bahamas. Who knew Great White Sharks could roar? Some not so favorites that fit the theme: The Blue Lagoon - Despite a nude Brooke Shields, this movie was always a little too creepy for me. First cousins getting their swerve on just isn't cool. The Island of Dr. Moreau - Freaky animal / human people and piano playing little people made this too bizarre even for me. Club Dread - Had its moments, but was a little too derivative of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Club Paradise. Exit to Eden - Rosie O'Donnell and skin tight bondage garb. :( <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I have a thing for Molly Shannon and went insane over Year of the Dog when it came out. Just a great bizarre comedy with the cutest dog in the world that almost made me forget that I don't really care for dogs. I think I'm the only person that saw Scooby-Doo and liked it so much that I bought the DVD when it came out. For some reason, it worked for me. Loved the cartoon as a kid and the live action with the CGI Scooby didn't bother me at all like most people.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a third installment of the live-action Scooby-Doo movie franchise begins shooting in Vancouver today. Unfortunately (hey, I thought the second one was a pretty faithful adaptation), the movie will be a direct-to-video release and all our favorite characters have been recast with unknowns. At least the voice of Scooby will now be performed by veteran voice actor Frank Welker, who has voiced the cartoon dog in tons of series and films and even worked on the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, for which he actually played “Freddy”.
Because there are likely few people talking about Scooby-Doo 3 and there are plenty of people instead discussing the possibilities surrounding the third installment in the Batman Begins-The Dark Knight series (such as who will play Catwoman, if the character is involved), here’s a clip from the animated classic Scooby-Doo Meets Batman that combines the two properties. Man, I’d sure love to see a live-action version of this. If only Heath Ledger’s Joker wore a tree log as part of a disguise. It might have been even better than his nurse uniform scenes.

      <title>Spout Post: 15 Cartoons Calling for CGI/Live-Action Treatment</title>

<strong>Body:</strong> I don’t know what is the worse idea, an all-CGI 3-D Smurfs movie, as Paramount had planned, or a CGI/live-action mix, as Sony Animation is now planning for our beloved blue communists friends. I guess if we only think back to Alvin and the Chipmunks and Underdog, it’s easy to think Sony’s new plan for The Smurfs is a terrible idea. But I think the second Scooby-Doo movie worked pretty well as far as cartoon adaptations go, and there’s a chance Hollywood could do a good job again, despite the majority (including Garfield: The Movie, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, the first Scooby-Doo) being on the bad side.
That said, I’m still no fan of the trend. However, if it must continue, I think it would be interesting to see any of the following 15 animated series, all of which feature the necessary mix of talking animals (or inanimate objects) and humans, turned into live-action movies with CGI characters:


The Yogi Bear Show - I feel it’s inevitable that we’ll be seeing this one soon enough. And if Hollywood is feeling lazy enough, the plot can be a remake of the animated feature Hey There, It’s Yogi Bear! Steve Carell will play Ranger Smith, of course.
Help!…It’s the Hair Bear Bunch! - Few people remember this Yogi Bear-like series starring three hippie bears, one of whom had a straggly afro. The movie would involve the usual plot in which the bears escape from the zoo and are chased by the human zoo-keeper and his fat assistant. I’d love to see the sweet production design that goes into the bear’s bachelor pad cave. And aside from the fact that CGI bears would make the invisible motorcycle easier to work with, live-action bears have been proven to be a much worse idea (see The Country Bears).
The Great Grape Ape Show - This would be kinda like Peter Jackson’s King Kong, only without the intention of making the CGI look realistic.  I’m not sure what the plot would be, but going with the King Kong idea, they could probably just have Grape Ape and Beagle Beagle visit New York (or another city) to allow for plenty of accidental destruction (isn’t that the only reason Transformers‘ last act was in a city?).
Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels - It’s like Scooby-Doo but with a caveman instead of a talking dog. They could probably just have a guy dressed up in a very hairy costume for the prehistoric superhero, but as long as CGI characters are bringing Hollywood so much dough, they might as well render him on a computer, too.
Speed Buggy - It’s like Scooby-Doo but with a talking car instead of a talking dog. And I bet audiences will be more comfortable with a CGI talking car than with a CGI talking dog.
Dynomutt, Dog Wonder - It’s like Scooby-Doo but with superheroes. Hey, I hear superheroes are big at the box office this century. Actually, I’m really, really surprised we haven’t heard about this one yet.
Jabberjaw - It’s like Scooby-Doo but with…. wait, I’m starting to see that most of these Hanna Barbera cartoons are a lot alike. But even more than Scooby-Doo, this would be like the live-action Josie and the Pussycats, except with the benefit of having a CGI shark who plays drums for the group. Because most of the action would take place under the sea, there’s a good chance this would be too expensive to produce.
Fangface - It’s like Scooby-Doo but not made by Hanna Barbera (however, it was produced by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, who also created Captain Caveman, Jabberjaw, Dynomutt and others on this list). Instead of a talking dog, here one of the mystery-solving teens is a werewolf. And despite everyone’s love for Lon Chaney Jr. and the Teen Wolf movies, Hollywood can rarely make a werewolf these days without CGI.
It’s Punky Brewster - They could always just base a movie off the original sitcom (though I doubt they ever would), but wouldn’t it be much cuter if there was a CGI character? Fortunately the cartoon series had that leprechaun-gopher thing named “Glomer.”
Snorks - I guess there were no humans in this cartoon, but knowing Hollywood’s ability to mess with things, some could surely be added. Either the Snorks somehow venture out of the sea or a friendly scuba diving kid finds them. Though for the latter, the budget could be too high. I wonder if the Snorks could survive out of water…
Ghostbusters - Would be allowed for there to be a feature film version of Filmation’s Ghostbusters — you know, the one that wasn’t based on the REAL Ghostbusters? The one that was actually based on a TV series that came before the movie Ghostbusters? Hmm. I guess this one should really go in the list of live-action series calling for CGI/live-action treatment (like ALF…)
The Archie Show - Obviously this one could be completely live-action. But that’s no fun. And that TV movie from 1990 was extremely disappointing. Solution: CGI Jughead!
Rainbow Brite - Hey, I really liked Rainbow Brite when I was a kid. Is that OK to admit yet? I may have even wanted a plush toy of Twink. Or maybe I did have a plush toy of Twink. Either way, I’d be the first heterosexual male in line at the theater for this one.
Rugrats - This one will only be kinda CGI. It can star real kids with CGI mouths, like what they do with animals in the Babe and Dr. Dolittle movies. Oh yeah, and what they do with babies in the Baby Geniuses movies. Of course, the animated Rugrats movies each made significantly more money than the Baby Geniuses movies, so anyone who’d actually take on this idea is an idiot.
 The Herculoids - I really don’t care if they make it all CGI, mixed CGI/live-action, all 2D animation, or what; all I care about is that I get to see Tundro on the big screen one day before I die. Back when I saw Jurassic Park for the first time, I thought the triceratops was really lame. But it wasn’t because it was obviously animatronic. It was because it couldn’t shoot rocks out of its horn like Tundro. The rest of the Herculoids, especially Igoo and Gloop & Gleep, would also be awesome to see in a movie. In fact, to be honest, I mostly just made this list in order to profess my desire for a Herculoids movie.

<strong>Body:</strong>  No more so than Garfield, Alvin and the Chipmunks and the others that I grew up watching as a kid.There is something within the idiocy of the film that has kept it one of those guilty pleasure movies that I&#39;ll make a point of watching when it happens to be on. However, I was a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan so maybe the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in it might have initially drawn me into it.Hrm, now that I&#39;ve admitted that fact I will forever not be taken seriously. Hehe, oh well.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Did you maybe just also have a natural, predisposed affinity for Scooby-Doo in general?  I have entertained the thought of watching that movie just for that reason alone.<br/>
