FILM NOTES

Warner Bros. released the live-action Scooby-Doo feature in June 2002, directed by Raja Gosnell and produced by Village Roadshow Pictures. The film marked a significant cultural moment, translating the beloved Hanna-Barbera animated series into a mainstream theatrical production with a reported budget exceeding fifty million dollars. Its promotional campaign, including this trailer, reached global audiences and helped the film open as the number one picture at the domestic box office.

This cell captures Daphne Blake across three frames from the trailer's character introduction sequence. The first two frames present her stylised title card, rendered in purple tones with yellow lettering against a swirling psychedelic background. The third frame shifts to a striking overhead perspective, placing Daphne on the ground near a metal cage structure during her confrontation with Zarkos on Spooky Island.
