First look: Netflix reveals live-action Scooby-Doo puppy in 'Origins'
Netflix released a teaser revealing that Scooby-Doo: Origins will cast a real Great Dane puppy as Scooby. The series from producers Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in 2027. Using an actual dog instead of animation will change Scooby's voice and physical comedy on screen and signal a grounded, live-action tone for the franchise.
First look at Scooby Doo in Netflix’s live-action ‘Scooby Doo’ series
I’m sorry this is an audition to play Scooby Doo, not Scrappy Doo
THAT IS NOT A GREAT DANE!
I am sooooooo sick & tired of REBOOTS & REMAKES Where are the original projects?
Live action “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo”. Let’s see if it’s as good!
Nope, not it. My dog looks more like him (gets compared to him on walks quite a bit), and even I wouldn't accept his as the real Scooby.
Zoinks! Scooby Doo is a Great Dane
Now, I'm neither a dog nor Scoobert Doo expert, but that looks suspiciously like a chocolate Labrador and not a Great Dane. The one important thing about Scoobert's family is that they're all goofy Great Danes.
What is that? Because it sure as hell isn’t Scooby-Doo! This is Scooby-Doo:
Fine, but I want him to be voiced by Keith David.
That’s not…it’s a…why did…oh never mind
give me a big CG dog or nothing.
No thank you Netflix, on to the next!
Hey, they're finally giving Scrappy another chance. ... ...what do you mean, that's supposed to be Scooby?
That's a cutie-patootie, not Scooby,🫠😂.
Silly Netflix, that's just a cute little dachshund puppy
The rest of the cast looks great, but Scooby-Doo is just a regular dog? That seems a bit strange to me.
He better grow up into this loveable dufus
Shaggy is lucky the Scooby show was where it is in time, in a new one he'd have to follow Scooby Doo around with a shovel and a contractor bag who was the first person that picked up dog shit to not put it in a bag and sets it on fire by somebody's front door?
I’m sorry but that is not a Great Dane
Gonna be weird having him not talk going for a real dog. Scooby talks. I bet you the last episode during the final seconds he'll say something.
We've fully entered the fidlling whilst Rome burns bit, have we not.....
Cute doggy but that’s not Scooby 😭
I like that SCOOBY-DOO is about teenagers dealing with supernatural mysteries, but also, unrelated, they have a talking dog
Like they always explain why the monster was some guy but then it's just, that dog isn't normal. Except in Mystery Inc where they explain he's like an Eldritch being or something
2.5 talking dogs because Scooby liked to hop on the line and lets his cousins come to work. So at least one full line of talking dogs.
What if Scooby Doo and all these investigations are just a series of hallucinations as seen from Shaggy's POV because he's high as fuck? Zoinks!
I like the idea of a mad scientist who is frustrated that his inventions are constantly mistaken to be supernatural-based. “Scooby is NOT possessed! Damn it, do you know how much raw uranium it takes to create a talking dog?”
Same here. I love that they just have a talking dog.
They have TWO talking dogs, and one of them needs speech therapy.
I would say SCOOBY-DOO is about teenagers exposing greedy adults doing shady stuff, and also unrelated, the thing about the dog.
For first time ever, Scooby-Doo is being played by a real dog in Netflix's live action series SCOOBY-DOO: ORIGINS. Here's your first look at the Great Dane puppy. This good boy will help solve mysteries and murders when the series premieres on Netflix in 2027.
I'm fine with it so long as it can assemble a comedically tall sandwich and then eat it in a single bite.
Excuse me but how is that dog going to make a 50 ingredient sandwich, shuffle the ingredients like a deck of cards, shove the entire thing in his mouth and then have his neck spring up and start making accordion sounds?
"This good boy will help solve mysteries and murders when the series premieres on Netflix in 2027." Not for long he won't, he'll grow big fast. Though seeing as Netflix cancel everything after 1 series, that's not something he'll have to worry about.
Is he going to talk? No, I don't mean will he be overdubbed by a human voice actor, I mean WILL HE TALK
When Hollywood learn that the people yearn for puppets. just use the Scooby Doo puppet Jim Henson Creature Shop already created for the movie.
I can’t wait to not go see this
Won't do, Scooby-Doo has human teeth it's canon. (h/t to @byharryconnolly.bsky.social )
That's a chocolate lab, not a dane
'Scooby Doo: Origins' is one of those 'if that was a joke it would feel a bit too on the nose' ones.
Twitter user Temper Florence: I invented Surf Dracula as a cautionary tale. Every streaming service: At last, we will bring to air 'Young Surf Dracula' from the iconic 'stop making Surf Dracula adaptations' tweet
does feel like a 30 Rock bit, with Tracy voicing Scrappy Doo
I feel like that old piece of writing advice 'Is this the most interesting time in your main characters life? If not, why aren't you writing about that?' is rather apt in this case
last scene is Fred spotting an ad in the newspaper: FOR SALE: VAN. Cut to credits.
Too on the cold wet nose
Scooby Doo, famouly a Great Dane, played by a CGI chocolate lab
If this runs to multiple series, that dog's going to be pushing 30.
It's odd. Do kids like Scooby-Doo? No, it aired 50 years ago. Do their parents like Scooby-Doo? No, it was being rerun when *they* were kids. Do their grandparents like Scooby-Doo? Not really, it was meh *at the time*
I feel the story of a dog who can speak, walk on two legs and has opposable thumbs could be a really interesting, dark story about animal experimentation, and I assume they won't go near that.
Next we need origin story for Clifford the Big Red Dog
I did think they'd ended the project after Wolverine bombed
Put it alongside Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire as “the billboard would have been a background sight gag in 2007”.
Uhhh I am not the kind of nerd who makes a big deal out of canonical adaptations but this is VERY clearly not Scooby Doo (a Great Dane)
Oh my god they replaced him with Scrappy
wow next you're going to say that Ariel should be white
This is Scooby as a puppy, isn't it? It looks like a Great Dane pup!
Probably difficult to find an actual dog that can say “Ruh Roh!”on command. Had to be flexible with the breed.
This might be a function of how hard it is to train a Great Dane to do ANYTHING other than slobber on you and take galactically large poops.
i wonder if they do that so people won’t get great dane puppies. they always end up getting abandoned once people figure out the costs involved
Scooby Doo is like The Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, in that there have been so many new iterations of it in my lifetime alone that I cannot imagine being the guy up in arms about a new version of it in 2026. Dont worry, in 2028 they'll reboot it with another new thing because thats what they do. 😂
Honestly i don't feel like fighting yet again another discussion about a dog last year stupid discourse on Krypto
Like at most I go “oh well this one doesnt look good” and move on. Or get sad if a version I like gets cut short. See also Transformers.
I'm not up in arms, so much as I'm not quite sold on it. Cute puppy, but I'm gonna need more.
Netflix has revealed for the first time in the history of the franchise, a real dog has been cast as Scooby in the upcoming Scooby-Doo: Origins. https://bit.ly/4ecvoqe
But how are they going to have a real dog eat a 6 foot sandwich and an entire box of Scooby Snacks?
With all the bitching about AI, I don't get the backlash here. Is there a better dog that should've been cast in a movie you won't watch? Would that hypothetical better dog convince you to watch this movie that you, again, likely won't watch.
