February 28, 2002 — Variety reports:
Another summer picture with a built-in fan base is Warner Bros.'
live-action
version of "Scooby-Doo," which features a computer graphic version of the
crime-solving dog. The Raja Gosnell-directed caper incorporates the work of
the
John Cox Creature Workshop, Jim Henson's Creature Shop, f/x house Rhythm &
Hues
and the Warner Bros. Feature Animation team.
"The big goal was to develop the main character from a cartoon character
to a
real CG dog and keeps it Scoobyness," says producer Charles Roven. "The
Scooby
that we ended up with has more in common with the dinosaurs in 'Jurassic
Park,'
in that he is a 99% CG creation living in a realistic world. The story
takes
place in a fictitious theme park called Spooky Island, so we also had to
use a
lot of digital magic, creating the rides as well as the supernatural bad
guys."
