The first theatrical animated Scooby-Doo feature film was Scoob!.
Released in 2020, Scoob! presented an origin-style story about Scooby-Doo and Shaggy’s friendship before expanding into a larger crossover adventure. The film was directed by Tony Cervone and featured a voice cast including Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Will Forte as Shaggy.
Scoob! was planned as a theatrical release, but the COVID-19 pandemic led Warner Bros. to make it available through video-on-demand in many markets. That distribution change sometimes causes confusion about whether it counts as a theatrical film; it was nevertheless produced and marketed as the franchise’s first theatrical animated feature.
It is distinct from the live-action Scooby-Doo films released in 2002 and 2004, and from numerous direct-to-video animated movies.
