Scooby Doo: Bring Back the Old Gang!

 You know it's a damn shame when major companies get so big they feel they don't have to negotiate anything with anyone! In the case of Scooby Doo the long erstwhile cartoon hero. Well Freddie Prinze, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini, and Sara Michelle Gellard(Freddie Prinze's wife) starred in the first live-action film that brought the Mystery Inc. gang to life. It was a monster hit that spawned a sequel in Scooby Doo-Monsters Unleashed. This was tremendously successful too. There was plans to release #3 but Warner Brothers thought they could get Freddie Prinze to come down on his asking price since he was having financial troubles. Now the studios call this 'good business' but what it is is low-down and dirty! Trying to take advantage of Freddie simply because  they were too selfish and greedy to share any of the profits from this successful franchise. Eversince they bought Hanna Barbera back in the 90's I guess they feel they don't have to negotiate one inch of Scooby Doo since they own the rights lock stock and barrel. Freddie a showbiz veteran knew what time this was; if he let WB do this to him, every studio would be doing it, so he didn't budge either. As a consequence they decided to get rid of the whole crew and start over with a 'new gang' for it would be cheaper. Naturally though nobody else with a name would do it after they heard what the studio tried to do to Freddie and so they cast a bunch of no-names and put it on television. Now I admit that I enjoyed these movies, but I wouldn't have paid $10 to go see them at the theater. It's definitely direct to dvd fodder for this cast though made up of good competant actors and actresses, they simply didn't have the chemistry of Freddie Prinze, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellinie, and Sara Michelle Gellar. I didn't think it would work at first, but I have to admit they pulled it off better than I ever could have imagined. Now I want them back! So lets all demand that WB put out a third movie with the old gang for the fans demand it! One more time WB lets do it! Pay Freddie the paltry $10million he asked for along with the rest of the cast! You've made probably a billion or more off of the Scooby Doo franchise so you can part with a few bucks for another great summer blockbuster! So quit screwin' around WB and lets do this!
