The whole thing was to essentially make a Brady Bunch style movie that parodies the source material. While I liked the first movie, I really think the second film did a MUCH better job capturing the show for what it is, not for what's wrong with what it is... only problem I've had with the second one is Vanilla Ice coming on stage to sing "Go Ninja Go!" for no apparent reason.... oops... I'm thinking of TMNT 2. I Meant Ruben Studdard coming on stage and singing one of his "hits" for no apparent reason. Nothing dates a movie like having a musical guest that fell out of the public eye as soon as the movie went to the foley stage.Actually they did feature Scrappy in the very first movie. But they made him into the arch-villian.
That's the only live action Scooby I've seen at all and while I kind of liked it I had a bit of a problem with the way they used Scrappy. He's supposed to be Scooby's nephew. Not an insane megalomaniac.
I actually kinda want to see this. They've been planning a Pup named Scooby Doo type movie for a while now... both of the other live action movies make a lot of references towards it... and I almost think they thought that was the source material (the way Fred acted).
