In response to the demand for at-home entertainment during this unprecedented time, Warner Bros. has decided to make its upcoming animated film, “Scoob!,” available both to own and on-demand via digital formats in the U.S. and Canada on May 15, its original theatrical release date.
“While we’re all eager to be able to once again show our films in theaters, we’re navigating new, unprecedented times which call for creative thinking and adaptability in how we distribute our content,” said Ann Sarnoff, chair and CEO of Warner Bros. “We know fans are eager to see ‘Scoob!’ and we’re delighted we can deliver this feel-good movie to families to enjoy while they’re home together.”

The first full-length animated Scooby-Doo film for the big screen, “Scoob!” tells the story of how Shaggy and Scooby first met and how they joined young detectives Fred, Velma and Daphne to form the famous Mystery Inc. Fast-forward to the future, with hundreds of solved cases and just as many adventures, Scooby and the gang take on their most challenging mystery ever: a plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. As they race to stop the “dogpocalypse,” the group discovers that Scooby has a secret legacy and destiny that’s greater than anyone could ever have imagined.
