FILM NOTES

Warner Bros. released Scooby-Doo in June 2002, bringing the long-running Hanna-Barbera animated franchise to live-action for the first time. Directed by Raja Gosnell and featuring a fully CGI-rendered Scooby-Doo alongside a cast including Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, the film became a genuine summer box office success, grossing over $275 million worldwide and cementing the property's continued cultural relevance into a new generation.

This cell, confirmed as the Scooby-Doo Title Card, captures a frame from the 2002 theatrical trailer in which the film's title appears in bold lettering against a glowing green spectral burst on a black field. The repeated title card sequence, with circular shapes visible at the frame edge, reflects the kinetic graphic language of early 2000s blockbuster marketing and represents a direct artifact of how the film announced itself to audiences.
