Curse of the Lake Monster, an all-new, live action movie featuring an exclusive extended cut of the film with never-before-seen music sequences coming to Blu-Ray™ and DVD March 1, 2011 from Warner Premiere and Cartoon Network.

Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster finds the Mystery Inc. gang heading toward summer jobs at a country club owned by Daphne’s uncle, only to stumble onto strange happenings around the local lake – including an enormous Frog Monster terrorizing the locals. There’s mystery afoot and romance in the air that only the fearful foursome-plus-one can solve. Group leader Fred, drama queen Daphne, brainiac Velma, fun-loving Shaggy and the cowardly Scooby-Doo are on the case!
Director and producer Brian Levant (Snow Dogs; The Flintstones), producer Brian J. Gilbert (The Deaths of Ian Stone; Wrong Turn) and writers the Altiere Brothers (Daniel and Steven – jkl; Dr. Dolittle: A Tinsel Town Tail; Gym Teacher: The Movie) return from their successful roles at the creative helm of Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins.
The Atlas Entertainment/Telvan Productions/Nine/8 Entertainment production also features encore performances from the live action cast of Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins: Robbie Amell (True Jackson, VP) as Fred, Kate Melton (Lucy: A Period Piece) as Daphne, Hayley Kiyoko (Wizards of Waverly Place, Lemonade Mouth) as Velma and Nick Palatas (True Jackson, VP) as Shaggy. Scooby-Doo will appear via computer-generated animation courtesy of Animation Picture Company, and is voiced by veteran artist Frank Welker, a member of the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! voice cast.
Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster also boasts some top line guest stars from throughout the history of entertainment, including Ted McGinley (Married With Children), Richard Moll (Night Court), Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek), and Marion Ross (Happy Days),.
In its Cartoon Network premiere on October 16, 2010, Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster
resoundingly captured all kids, boys and girls demographic ratings to
rank not only No. 1 within its Saturday night time period, but as the
No. 1 Cartoon Network telecast of the year to date, according to Nielsen
Media Research. The live-action and CG-animated film from Warner
Premiere averaged more than five million viewers ages 2+ and nearly
three million kids ages 2-11, beating all other competitive kids
networks. The performance also ranks as the most-watched telecast among
targeted viewers since 2009’s original movie, Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins (9/13/09).
Both the Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack and single disc DVD versions of Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster
are presented as an exclusive, never-before-seen extended cut of the
film specially created for the home entertainment release by director
Brian Levant.
An animated creation from the legendary
Hanna-Barbera studios, Scooby-Doo is one of the longest running, most
beloved franchises in cartoon history. Starting with Scooby-Doo, Where
Are You! the awkward, snack-craving Great Dane and his four unique pals
have been solving mysteries through 11 televisions series (the latest, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, now airing on Cartoon Network), seven TV specials/telefilms, 15 made-for-video animated films (Scooby-Doo: Camp Scare, now available on DVD), and two live-action theatrical features (Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed).
“As the perfect follow-up to the monstrously successful Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins, Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster
is an entertaining, comically-spooky romp with all the classic moments
fans have come to expect in this long-running franchise,” said Hersin
Magante, WHV Marketing Director of Family and Animation. “As evidenced
by a new TV series, new animated direct-to-DVD productions and this
second blockbuster live-action film, Scooby-Doo is endearing family
entertainment that fans continue to embrace. We’re proud to continue
adding to the Scooby-Doo legacy.”
Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster will include approximately 2 hours of entertaining bonus features, most notably:
•
Featurette: “Jeepers! Jinkies! Zoinks – A Tribute to the Classic Gags
of Scooby-Doo” – From Scooby snacks to the unmasked villain’s iconic
line, “I would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you meddling kids
and your dog!”, Scooby-Doo mysteries are filled with familiar moments.
Director Brian Levant ups the ante in this new film utilizing these and
other signature Scooby-Doo devices to pay tribute to the very best of
the franchise. This fun and nostalgic piece uses clips from classic
episodes, celebrates the hallmarks of the franchise and showcases the
current cast’s modern spin on these beloved characters.
•
Featurette: “Scooby-Doo: Rock, Rap and Rollerskates” – Get your groove
on with Scooby-Doo and the gang as you go behind the scenes of the many
musical moments in Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster. Decked out in
over-the-top costumes on lavish sets, the Mystery Inc. gang bounces
from a vaudeville soft shoe song and dance and a groovy 60’s frolic in a
field to a Ramones-esque punk rock group and a fly 70’s funk-jam band –
as well as a hilarious rap featuring the gang in their original iconic
costumes from the cartoon (complete with a blonde Fred!). Toss in a
roller disco spectacular set to Discovery Zone’s “I Can Be Scared With
You” and fans will delight in this exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at
the making of these entertaining sequences.
• Gag Reel:
Ruh-roh! Behind the Scenes Hilarity – Catch all the off-camera
silliness, often shot by the cast on their own Flip cameras, in this
side-splitting gag reel.
• Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack includes a digital copy of the feature film
I watched this with Alex on Cartoon Network. For me it was OK but just OK. I really do prefer my Scooby-Doo stories to not have actual mystic elements. I like the old-fashioned “guy in a rubber mask” stories.Alex, on the other hand, is eight years old and in the target audience. He loved the movie.
