Luke Youngblood is the stand in for the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the live-action Scooby-Doo! Curse Of The Lake Monster while Frank Welker voices him.ĭon Messick originated the character's voice patterns, and provided Scooby-Doo's voice in every Scooby-Doo production from 1969 until his retirement in 1996. Neil Fanning provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the first two Warner Bros. In Denmark, he is voiced by Lars Thiesgaard.In Brazil, actor Orlando Drummond has been the Portugese voice of Scooby-Doo for 30 years,.Scooby-Doo and Kiss Rock and Roll Mystery.In the films listed below, Shaggy and Scooby both showed the ability to come to the rescue and act as "superheroes" when the rest of the gang were in trouble (such as being captured) or needed some help: Shaggy and Scooby-Doo as heroes to the gang Even his color is wrong." Īccording to the official magazine that accompanied the 2002 movie, Scooby is 7 years old (49 in stereotypical dog years). He said, "I decided to go the opposite and gave him a hump back, bowed legs, small chin and such. Takamoto then drew Scooby as the opposite of this. Both his head and tail are malleable and useful as a communication aid or creating a distraction.Ĭreator Iwao Takamoto later explained that before he designed the character, he first spoke to a Great Dane breeder, who described to him the desirable characteristics of a pedigree dog. Scooby has a fully prehensile tail he can use to swing from or press buttons. He has four toes on each foot and, unlike other dogs, Scooby has only one pad on the sole of each of his feet (so that it was easier to draw in the Scooby-Doo Annuals in Great Britain). He has a black nose and wears an off-yellow, diamond shaped-tagged blue collar with a stylized "SD" (his initials). Scooby also has opposable thumbs and can use his front paws like hands. He is generally a quadruped, but displays bipedal 'human' characteristics occasionally. Scooby-Doo is a brown Great Dane with several distinctive black spots on his upper body. Scooby's voice is similar to that of the earlier character Astro from The Jetsons. His quirky chuckle is often also in an episode, but it changed slightly when Frank Welker took over the voice of Scooby. He also usually says, at least once per episode, "Ruh-roh, Raggy" ("Uh-oh, Shaggy"). His catch phrase, usually howled at the end of every episode, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". In most iterations, he keeps his sentences relatively short, usually using charades for anything longer than three or four words. Scooby has a speech impediment and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "r", though most characters are able to understand him perfectly. But their friends ( Velma, Daphne and Fred) encourage them to go after the costumed villains, usually with " Scooby Snacks", a biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack (usually shaped like a bone or, in later versions of the cartoons, Scooby's dog tag), though Scooby's inherent loyalty and courage do often force him to take a more heroic stand.
In all versions of the character, Scooby-Doo and Shags share several personality traits, mostly being cowardly and perpetually hungry.
