FILM NOTES

Warner Bros. released Scooby-Doo in June 2002, bringing the beloved Hanna-Barbera cartoon to live-action for the first time. Directed by Raja Gosnell, the film blended practical effects with early CGI to realize the Mystery Inc. gang for a new generation. It performed strongly at the box office and remains a touchstone of early 2000s family entertainment, representing a significant moment in the translation of animated television properties to theatrical features.

This cell, titled Spooky Island, captures frames from the film's 2002 theatrical trailer. The first two frames show Fred Jones, played by Freddie Prinze Jr., in an interior location on Spooky Island, a large arched architectural element visible behind him. The third frame brings Daphne Blake, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, into the composition alongside Fred within that same distinctive setting.
