Aftermath
It was dedicated to Iwao Takamoto, the original designer of the Scooby-Doo characters. It was also the final Scooby-Doo movie Joseph Barbera, co-founder of Hanna-Barbera, worked on before his death, but this and none of the subsequent Scooby-Doo movies have carried a dedication to him, although he does receive one in the computer game, Scooby-Doo! Case File 3: Frights! Camera! Mystery! He was also given one in Warner Bros. Animation's other DTV, Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale.
It was also the last Scooby-Doo DTV under the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment line.
Music
The score was composed by Thomas Chase Jones.

Behind the scenes
- The High Lama is a parody of the Dalai Lama. The idea of a "High Lama" was also done previously in The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest episode "Expedition to Khumbu".
- Del Chillman last appeared in the seventh DTV, Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster.
- Shangri-La is a place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by James Hilton.
- Del's calendar says July.
- Shaggy deejaying mirrors Casey Kasem's other job.
- This film is dedicated to Iwao Takamoto, who designed Scooby.
Errors
- Technically, "Sherpa" shouldn't be considered Pemba and Minga's last name. This comes from the fact that the Sherpa people only have a first name, and put down "Sherpa" as a last name in census forms, not realizing that others outside of their own community also only used a first name.
- The couple who walk past the café at the beginning of the film, is also at the end of the film, this strolling a baby along, even though the woman wasn't pregnant the first time, and not much time had passed while the gang were in the Himalayas.
