Vehicles

Production

Development

When Matthew Gray Gubler had an interview with Crave Online (which has since been deleted), he referred to the film with the working title of Scooby-Doo! Attack of the Phantosaur.

Filming

Music

The music was composed by Robert J. Kral.

Release

Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • This the first time the Warner Bros. Animation logo is used with its red background, as opposed to the shield logo being blended within the scene.
  • The mansion, hospital, coffee shop, and school may be in Coolsville, but it isn't made explicit.
  • It's implied that Fred hasn't used the Mystery Machine's G.P.S. since the previous two DTV movies in Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo.
  • John DiMaggio, the voice of the G.P.S., replaces Dave Attell from Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo.
  • Winsor's line to Velma, "Did you get those at Specmasters?" is a paraphrase of Specsavers' strapline of "Should have gone to Specsavers."
  • The idea of switching on and off bravery and competence by hypnosis was done in The Court Jester, starring Danny Kaye. In that movie, the trigger was a snap of the fingers.
  • A bumper sticker on Winsor's car reads, "Been To Camp City", a reference to the previous DTV movie, Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare.
  • The movie has a lot of scenes similar to modern monster movies -- the velociraptors chase Shaggy & Scooby into a kitchen that looks like the one in Jurassic Park; the Phantosaur's rampage through the town is similar to Godzilla destroying Tokyo; and the town movie theater sign says Valley of The Gwangi and Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (two movies that star dinosaurs).

Errors

  • Shaggy shows that he got a tattoo on the way to La Serena of a mouth chewing a chicken leg on his left arm. But in the next scene, when the gang is in Mr. Hubley's hot tub, Shaggy has his shirt off, and there is no tattoo on his arm.
  • In Shaggy's hospital room, Velma goes from frowning concernedly to smiling in a close-up of Scooby-Doo, then back to frowning, in the space of three shots.
  • A real ER doctor usually wouldn't take X-Rays unless Shaggy was either experiencing chest pains or was suspected of having fractured or broken bones.
  • It is unclear how the ER doctor diagnoses Shaggy with a stress disorder by looking at X-Rays of his stomach.
  • An ER doctor generally wouldn't diagnose mental disorders (especially rare ones) as they do not have the training to properly diagnose and treat mental disorders. He likely would have given his opinion that Shaggy was experiencing some kind of extreme reaction to stress and then sent him to a specialist.
  • Apparently Fred is now a senior in high school. There's nothing that would suggest this in the previous two films Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo and Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare. The status of the other members' high school education isn't given.
  • Although Shaggy wet his pants, he never put on new ones.
  • Daphne's parents must be the most neglectful parents in the world for letting their five-year-old drive a motorcycle.
  • Velma identifies the tracks at the spa as Dromaeosaurus tracks, specifying the Mongolian species (Velociraptor mongoliensis). This species of Velociraptor was actually quite small. It was also feathered.
  • It's unclear how the college students in the Velociraptor costumes were able to keep pace with both the Mystery Machine and Tex's biker gang.
  • When the gang is in the mine showing Professor Svankmajer the pictures they took of the dinosaurs that attacked the town, she remarks that the larger phantasaur might be what attacked her camp. Daphne's response indicates that the attack on Svankmayer's camp was news to the gang. Svankmayer then leads the gang out the only entrance to the mine directly into the destroyed camp. It is unclear how Daphne and the rest of the gang missed the wreckage when they entered the mine to talk to Svankmajer.
  • When the gang is driving into town to chase the velociraptors and the phantosaur, Daphne's voice tells Fred to slow down but it's Velma's mouth that moves.
  • Despite the entire gang thinking they were Shaggy, Scooby still says his own catchphrase.

Everlasting Influence

  • Shaggy beating up the biker gang gained meme status after it was uploaded to YouTube with the Ultra Instinct theme from Dragon Ball Super played over it, creating the meme "Ultra Instinct Shaggy," which would inspire a cameo of this form in the Warner Bros. Animation logo featured at the beginning of the direct-to-video film Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle for the Realms, and Shaggy's moveset in the video game MultiVersus.

Marketing and promotion

Kellogg's, Tyson Foods, and Joy Cones offered rebates in conjunction with the film's release.[1]
