Scoob! Holiday Haunt CANCELLED

Yesterday, we all received some bad news that Scoob! Holiday Haunt was cancelled. I thought it was a joke at first, but then when Tony Cervone and Michael Kurinsky confirmed the news, my heart sank for all the people that have put their time and energy into making this movie. They had both said the movie was almost finished, so why would they can it? If you don't want to release it on streaming, release it as a direct to video release. I know a ton of Scooby fans that would buy it on DVD. 

If WB is worried about not making enough money on it, well, cancelling it means they won't make any money on it at all and the movie was almost done, so they've already put a lot of money into its production. Release it on DVD and make some money from it.  

The way Hanna-Barbera properties are treated by Warner Bros. is a shame. People love HB cartoons, and WB refuses to do anything with them. They could be making shows and movies with the characters, they could open a physical HB museum, create merchandise... They have a lot of possibilities, but they choose to ignore the characters. All they have to do is go on social media and see how people love the characters and would love to see reboots of a lot of them. Instead, they ignore the HB fans. 

After receiving the news about Scoob! Holiday Haunt's cancellation and stewing about it a bit, we jumped on to Zoom to chat about it. As disheartening as this news was, being able to vent to your friends about it is a blessing! Especially when we all respect each other's opinions. There were no eye rolls or sighs that we would get from people that aren't big Scooby fans. 

There is a petition that Bill Haller's son made to save the movie! Bill Haller is one of the co-director's on the movie. Please sign it! 

Also, please use #SaveScoobHolidayHaunt on your social media posts! 

Let us know what you think of the movie's cancellation and what you think it means for the upcoming Velma and Mystery Pups shows. 

I hope you enjoy our discussion.

Yesterday, comicbook.com posted that SCOOB! 2 is in the works, and we all posted that SCOOB! 2 has been confirmed. 

In an interview with ComicBookMovie.com, Tony Cervone, Director of the original SCOOB! movie, said:

"Actually, we are kicking the tires on a follow-up to Scoob! It hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s something we’re all excited about. The whole creative team that made the first movie is still around and back and working on something new. It was neat to create this Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe, and it’s exciting to return to it."

This isn't the first time there was talk about making a 2nd film, and the possibility of a whole Hanna-Barbera Universe. In an interview with Den of Geek May 15, 2020, Bill Haller, head of animation for SCOOB! said:

"I think Brian, Dynomutt, and Dee Dee could have their own series. I want to see more of the Falcon Force. I want to watch that team grow because there’s definitely, even in the credits at the end, you could see that the team is growing."

What do you think about a 2nd SCOOB! movie? Are you looking forward to it?
