So, they're making a new Scooby Doo direct-to-DVD movie featuring puppets instead of animation or actors. And these puppets are modeled after the Pup Named Scooby Doo designs!!
I'm TRYING to hold in my excitement until some information about the writers and voice actors involved is released. But this trailer looks pretty cool so far! It's a Wal-Mart exclusive DVD and it will be released July 23.
Since Pup is my favorite Scooby incarnation ever, I'll share some of my hopes for this thing here:
--I hope they do what the original show did and cast actual children to play the gang instead of the current cast. As mush as I love the current VAs, I'm pretty certain that Grey Delisle is the only one who among them who can pull off a convincing kid voice.
--Speaking of voice actors, Scott Menville would be the ONE exception to the rule I just posted. Because that guy STILL sounds just like he did when he originally played Red Herring in the early 90s and I just can't fathom anyone but him as Red.
--I hope it goes with the Pup characterizations instead of the ones that are currently used with the grown-up gang in the latest movies. Specifically, I want the return of Snarky-Daphne, Conspiracy-Theorist-Fred, and Wall-Flower-Velma.
Also, I want to see at least one of these moments in puppet form:

...because these two are still one of my BFF-OTPs!! ^_^;
Is everyone else here as excited by this as I am?
