Scooby-Doo has been on TV and home video consistently since it's creation in 1969. Even though there have been some changes to the voice cast over the last 50 years, the quality of the actors has always been excellent.
So why then did WB bring in new voice talent for Scoob? It's not like the Scooby-Doo franchise has laid dormant for any length of time. The character's voices are integral to the success of the shows and are well known by fans. We can assume this change was the result of a broken Hollywood formula: We don't trust our franchise to be successful on it's own so we must hire bigger name actors to draw attention. WB kept Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo but not as Fred, a character he has voiced since 1969! What an insult!
Let's hope they just keep making the direct to video movies with the regular cast and never try this again.
