Scoob: Holiday Haunt (HBO Max Production) (News And Discussion Thread)

Uncle Ned sounds familiar...

There hasn't been an Uncle Ned in other incarnations, at least according to wikipedia. The closest name match would be his Uncle Eddie Jones from A Pup Named Scooby Doo.

From what I understand, they're adapting the character from the comics. Uncle Ned

if it finished, how come they didn't release it?, why can't they give this to Hulu or amazon prime video or Netflix

1) Zaslav backtrack on decision.

2) Film director ignored Zaslav's request.

3) Write-off is means for Discovery version of Scoob! that shown the house renovation with Scooby Doo characters, lol.

Two things of note are how this movie would've taken place 2 months after the Halloween from the opening prologue, and that it would've come out on December 22.

More comments from Michael Kurinsky.

“The reason we were able to finish this movie is because it was already paid for. I can’t say it was ‘Please finish this movie, we want you to.’ I think it was more like, ‘Finish the movie because we’ve paid to finish the movie.’”

“At the end of the day, I don’t care why and how it got finished. I’m glad it got finished because so many people worked so hard to make something so beautiful and really great.”

It’s a shame his first directorial credit is stuck in purgatory now.

Good to know the crew was made of sterner stuff throughout all this. I’d want to quit on the spot if this happened to me.

Another message from Bill Haller. I don't recall seeing the image before. Makes for a nice holiday card, at least.

Animation Magazine article with comments from Michael Kurinsky.

“One of our major themes was that if Halloween made them friends, Christmas makes them family. It was how we saw solidification of not just Mystery Inc. and their crime-solving abilities, but why they work so well together.”

Very touching.

Oh this sounds like it would've been a great movie to watch.

If anything, some TV channel or app might pick it up and have it premiere around July.
