Filming
The police footage showing the sheriff inspecting Scooby and Shaggy in the Mystery Machine is in live-action, although it is positioned in such a way that Scooby and Shaggy are hidden from view, aside from Shaggy's arm sticking out the window.
There is also a fantasy sequence where a live-action Harvey chases after an actor in a Tab can suit. This was directed by Erik Richter.
Music
The music is composed by Michael Kohler.
Behind the scenes
