S.C.O.O.B. - Scooby Doo Reboot and First of the Hanna-Barbara Cinematic Universe - Yes, this is actually a thing that's happening

[DumbDosh]

Let's take some time to remember some of Hanna-Barbera's greatest hits:

Seth Rogen or James Franco really need to buy the rights to Hong Kong Phooey, I'm surprised they haven't already.

There was, at one point, a Hong Kong Phooey film in development with Eddie Murphy, but it never got off the ground, and from the looks of it it would have been just as awful as you'd imagine.

Hanna-Barbera was like if an entire company was made up of Andrew Dobsons who were too fucking lazy to draw backgrounds, as in ever. So much of this shit cranked out with monochrome backgrounds. Just awful.

To be fair, much of the stuff produced by H-B was under tight deadlines and strict budgets. I'm quite sure there were some very capable artists within the company, but again they were restricted by the conditions imposed on them.

Also, they prevented many animators from being out of work during the 70s and early 80s.

I'm glad I never grew up in the early 80's!

Cartoon Network mocked that show in the 90s a lot.

Wanna hear the worst part?

That was Tex Avery's final work. He only did it to pay the medical bills when he was dying of lung cancer.

Bill Hanna related in his autobiography that Tex created the character and they put it into production mainly to keep him working. He was optimistic about its prospects even when he was in the hospital.

The whole story is rather depressing, really.

Thank God.

The only way a live action Scooby Doo could ever work is if they drop the CGI dog out entirely. Just get a mix of puppets and real animals like in Babe, or just don't show the dog physically at all like this version.

TFW when the official movie ends up being worse than the pornographic parody.

if you want quest, watch the Venture Bros

The cartoon where Shaggy and Scooby got the Jin-Roh armor and killed a bunch of people was pretty cool.

I am surprised they haven't made this yet.
