They made Velma look even DORKIER. I did not think such a feat was capable by man

I don't like the "dot" eyes on Scooby.

[Michael24]

I had no idea a new Scooby cartoon was starting. I like the new design for Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby. Fred looks a bit off, and I agree, Velma is dorkier than ever. Still, I may check it out.

[Undrave]

Eww... I'm not a fan of Scooby Doo but...dang they look really bad...

I bet this show is cheap to animate...feels like those designs were made with some computer naimation program in mind. Remind me of a BAD at attempt at 6Teen style characters ><

Velma was HOT in 'What's New Scooby Doo?'... now she does look really dorky... her head is almost a frickin' square!

[IanC]

That really does look like its going be animated in Flash, it just has that *look* about it.

[Undrave]

Yeah but not good Flash animation.

[Juu-kuchi]

Ew.

[DarkGojira]

Well, at least Eric is so nice enough to urge people to give the show a chance. Being a Scooby fan, I could care less about the animation and I'll definitely give this show a chance.

[Undrave]

Oh I'll give it a shot, no problem... it still looks darn ugly...

Feels very lazy too.

[Sr.Infierno]

I am saddened by this...

[kylekool150]

That looks very ugly.

[Sharklady]

> They made Velma look even DORKIER. <

They also made her look like she's a dwarf.

[moumantai]

(hits character desighners with newspaper) bad character desighners bad lol

im gonna watch this show just to see how bad its gonna be

when does it start and what channel is it gonna be on

[Timmieboy]

I do not like the new character designs.
But i am going to give this a try. (if it comes to Holland.)

[Tay the Cat]

Yikes.

[Jave]

Hey! A Marmaduke animated series!

No, wait...

[TheMecca]

Unique.
Crappy, but unique.

[Crash]

Ew.

I was gunna post the same thing, but, yeah, you said it.

[mobo85]

Hey! A Marmaduke animated series!

No, wait...

Don't forget that Scooby-Doo and Marmaduke are both Great Danes. (Actually, I think Marmaduke has been animated before- he was part of the original lineup of Heathcliff.)

I agree that Velma looks too short, and I don't really like Daphne's eyes, but other than that, I like the character designs. The premise for the show sounds rather bizarre, though- Shaggy and Scooby (the latter of whom accidentially ate some robots, so hilarity should ensue) have to stop a supervillain from stealing Shaggy's inheritance? Could be good, could stink. Who knows? I can see why they decided to focus the series on Shaggy and Scooby alone- of the five, they are the most fleshed-out, well-known, and funniest of the characters.

To answer moumantai's question, according to the article, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get A Clue premieres September 23 on the CW (formerly the WB).

[Chiptooth]

Eh, I don't think the new designs are too bad. Scooby kinda looks like he could be the goofy uncle of Ace on Batman Beyond. :p

[GuardianKid13]

I would watch an episode if Sarah voiced Daphe..but that's not happening.

The animation looks OKAY, but still abit sucky:sweat:

[Wanted]

So, they got rid of Daphne's scarf, instead giving her a necklace... and boots. How modern. Nevertheless, her eyes don't quite match with the others'.

I anticipate the premiere... I've got nothing better to do on Saturday mornings.

[tucsoncoyote]

Jinkies!

Oh man, talk about "Throwback".. this makes the old Doo look way better...

I mean Okay Daphne, and Shaggy look okay but Scooby, Fred, and especially Velma, look like throwbacks! (I mean I liked the old cute Velma... but this.. She (Velma) doesn't look dorky... she looks scary! Almost Evil Like (GAH!)

I think the first mystery they should have in this series is to find out if Bill Hanna is Spinning in his grave on this one...

Frankly I think I'll stick to the old "Doo.." thank you

oh and To Quote Johnny Bravo:

Jinkies!... Jinkies... Jinkies.. Isn't that some breakfast cereal?:p :D

:coyote:

[fanboy]

This new look is awful.:eek:

[STARTOUNZ]

Does anyone else think Daphne looks like Sarah Michelle Gellar? Velma looks kind of fat. The guys look kind of weird, but at least Shaggy has better clothes. The striped T-shirt looks similar to the striped shirt Fred had for WNSD. Well, at least no ascots. :p

[moumantai]

why does dafney have normal eyes and not button eyes like everyone else

[Net1360]

Don't forget that Scooby-Doo and Marmaduke are both Great Danes. (Actually, I think Marmaduke has been animated before- he was part of the original lineup of Heathcliff.)

Yes, by two former Scooby-Doo writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears that aired on ABC-TV back in the 80's. Marmaduke also had a cameo on "Garfield & Friends" (a 1990 short that was full of sight gags).

[fanboy]

why does dafney have normal eyes and not button eyes like everyone else
She is rich, she payed them.:p

[Simpler Simon]

Daphne looks hot.

Shaggy has a decent updated look to him.

Not used to seeing fred and scooby with those eyes.

Velma was always dorky...it fits.

[Undrave]

Ya know... Shaggy doesn'T look 'tall and lanky' enough to me... he should be taller than this.

[PeppeRaskell1]

Does anyone out there agree with me that the two Scooby-Doo live-action movies was an influence in the character design?

[Undrave]

Maybe Daphne and Scooby yeah but not for the others.

[Elven Moon]

It's not terrible, I just can't put my finger on what I don't like about it.

[Conekiller]

Daphne looks MORE 60s ish to me :shrug:

[Undrave]

It's not terrible, I just can't put my finger on what I don't like about it.

Personally I'm bothered by the fact that Shaggy is about the same height as Fred... he should be taller...

[Freedom Fighter]

The designs are hit and miss. I, too, have a dislike for the look of the 'new' Velma. Daphne's the only one whose change I'd say is an improvement... VA VA VOOM! :D

The interview with Eric did convince me to give the new show the benefit of the doubt. I'm hoping to fall in love with Scooby again after falling out towards the end of 'What's New.'

(In other news... he confirms 'Xiaolin Showdown,' which he worked on, was not renewed and Kids' WB's only airing repeats this fall.)

Oh, and 'cause it's not mentioned above... 'Get a Clue' is taking the 10 o'clock slot, which is being abandoned by 'Pokémon' next month. I also noticed that Kids' WB is getting a later start than everyone else this year... but then I remembered that The CW isn't launching until that week.

[Dee]

I would have given Velma some sneakers. She is dorktastic and not in a good way.

I like it yet I hate it. I need to watch it to see how they handle this.

[SAMaine]

Scooby-Doo Gets a Clue? More like Scooby-Doo Has No Clue!

[tucsoncoyote]

Scooby-Doo Gets a Clue? More like Scooby-Doo Has No Clue!

Actually I feel it's more like Scooby Doo's Animators have no clue..I mean I think Delia is right on one part.. Give Velma at least some sneakers and maybe make her a bit taller (Heck she still scares me! She's not a dork! (heck I showed this shot to a couple of artists buddies of mine and one of them agreed with me. she doesn't look dorkish, she looks scary.

Heck it's like we've stepped into the twilight zone and are looking at what might have been 30 years ago!

but come on.. shape up Fred, Velma and Scoob a little.. heck Velma needs a complete makeover IMHO....

:coyote:

[judyindisguise]

One of the reasons I don't watch the new-Scooby-Doo-anything (aside from the first theatrical film) is that pairing Scooby and Shaggy up ALL THE TIME is boring. They're too much alike - a pair of stupid cowardly gluttons. It gets old.

They're too much alike - a pair of stupid cowardly gluttons. It gets old.To be fair, in one episode of "What's new..." the gang tried something different and put Shaggy with Fred and Scooby with the girls.

The end result was even more boring.

[Rurouni Kenshin]

Wow, well, at least their different:shrug:

[RonDrakenfan17]

I'm at least going to give it a shot, I've been a fan of Scooby and Shaggy since Scooby-Doo was on Boomerang. Though I admit Velma/Fred/Scooby/Daphny look a bit weird, at least they did an ok upgrade on Shaggy LOL. I am curious about these villains that there talking about, what kind of villains would just keep chasing Shaggy's money? Sure there was the Boo Brothers movie, well I guess those guy's could come back, I don't know :shrug:

[laactor101]

just another way to cash in on the scooby doo franicrise

[Ultra8]

The designs are kinda meh, but I'll wait till the premier before I decide anything. At least they explained about the transforming Scooby, makes sense that something Scooby ate would comeback to bite him on the butt.

[HellCat]

This looks like something I'd expect to see on deviantArt.
