Development

Due to creative differences during Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, this led to the "brain trust" of Davis Doi, Jim Stenstrum, and Lance Falk quitting after they found out that Warner Bros. had yet again hired Mark Turosz, a contracted live-action writer, who didn't understand how animation worked from script to screen, especially in the constrained time conditions they were expected to work within, which required more artists than usual for Cyber Chase.

Before leaving, Falk did do his own take of the film which ironically featured the gang on a complex adventure around the world.

Filming

This is the first film to be recognized on-screen as a Warner Bros. Animation/Warner Bros. Family Entertainment production, due to Hanna-Barbera still being active for the last four films. This changed when co-founder, William Hanna, died in 2001.

Music

The music was composed by Gigi Meroni and Rich Dickerson.

Songs

  1. "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" - uncredited rock band
  2. "Gotta Go" - uncredited rock band
  3. "Getaway Yeah" - Holland Greco
  4. "Hex Girl" - Jennifer Hale, Kimberly Brooks, Jane Wiedlin
  5. "Who Do Voodoo" - Jane Wiedlin
  6. "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" (reprise) - Krystal Harris

Release

Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: March 4, 2003 on VHS and DVD

Behind the scenes

Errors

  • The accents of Malcolm, Daniel, and Russell are that of New Zealanders and not of Australians.
  • Australia has no native cats (aside from domesticated cats), and the dingos seen in this movie look more like wolves rather than what they truly look like (large golden-yellow dogs with curved tails).
  • It is never explained how the Yowie Yahoo could use lightning beams to pull the performers up to him when he would attack and kidnap the bands.
  • Some scenes show cars driving on the right, but this is set in Australia, where cars drive on the left.
  • Malcolm is shown sending smoke signals. This is a tradition of Native Americans, not indigenous Australians.
  • It seems strange that Jasper wouldn't recognize Wildwind without their makeup, considering that he used to be their manager and should have at least one time seen the band without their makeup.
