Idk  about those voices

I hate the voices.  I don't understand why they couldn't just use the old pro voice actors.  At least Frank Welker is still voicing Scooby but

everyone else is just a stupid celebrity.  The new Shaggy doesn't bother me but everyone else sounds generic and boring.

 

They should have let Frank Welker keep voicing Fred.  I'm pretty sure he was the only original VA left.  Not seeing the movie because

of the celebrity voice actors.  At least not until it comes to Netflix.

Meh. It kinda defeats the whole "Scooby has a speech impediment" thing that made him lovable in the first place.

Y'know it never occurred to me that he had a speech impediment....I just thought he was a talking dog.....figured that's how that would go

Yeah, I don't think it's supposed to be a speech impediment as much as a dog magically speaking English with a dog mouth.

I don't know if there is much to understand.  Frank is the only one of the original VA's who is still working, and at 74 that he couldn't possibly pull off the Fred voice he originated (It's probably why he's voicing Scoob).  No one could imitate Casey Kasem, not the least because he was iconic in his own right before and after Shaggy.  Furthermore, if you look at the IMDBs, you'll notice that there isn't a lot of continuity, outside of Frank, Casey and Don Messick; the girls tend to be substituted more than the three male leads.

I think what's more troublesome is that they seem to be condensing aspects of several HB "classics" into one movie, along with an almost assuredly ill-fated attempt to retell the Scooby Doo origin.  A Pup Named Scooby Doo is still one of the, if not the most, liked entry in the franchise.
