  Warner Bros and WWE Studios will coproduce a Scooby-Doo animated feature that will involve a mystery at WrestleMania. This seems a natural, since most Scooby-Doo episodes involved one of the gang pulling off the mask of a criminal who opines he would have gotten away with it if not for those pesky kids. Well, wrestlers are big on wearing masks, and the WWE has lined up its grapplers Triple H, John Cena, Kane, The Miz, Brodus Clay, Santino Marella, Sin Cara, AJ, and WWE chairman/CEO Vince McMahon to lend their voices and appear in animated form in the film. Warner Bros Home Entertainment will distribute the film through Blu-ray, DVD, VOD and digital download, and the WWE will use its considerable resources to promote the effort, said WWE Studios President Michael Luisi.
I seriously can't wait to see this. I predict the villain will be someone wearing a Rey Mysterio or Sin Cara mask and Scooby and the gang catch him in the end and take off the mask to reveal Vince, Miz or some other heel. |

Will Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar be reprising their roles as Fred and Daphne and then subsequently appear on Raw (or perhaps even WrestleMania) in character?

Will Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar be reprising their roles as Fred and Daphne and then subsequently appear on Raw (or perhaps even WrestleMania) in character? I didn't even think about that, but with Freddie's close working relationship with WWE, that'd be cute. I'm not sure if they could convince Sarah to do it, but if she can lend her voice to Robot Chicken, she can do this. She did Call of the Dead for him, after all. I'm not trying to see her appear in character as Daphne though. Her career isn't that far gone. |

They’re doing the Flintstones too! variety.com/2013/film/news/yabba-dabba-wwe-1200488834/Yabba Dabba WWE! Cena, McMahon Set For Flintstones Movie
The wrestlers of WWE are going back in time to Bedrock.
WWE Studios has teamed with Warner Bros. to co-produce a “Flintstones” animated movie that will be released direct-to-homevideo platforms in early 2015.
Toon will feature Vince McMahon, John Cena, CM Punk and other stars on WWE’s talent roster as themselves – with a Flintstones twist (Vince McMagma, John Cenastone, CM Punkrock – as Fred, Barney and friends attend the first WWE main event.
The film will be produced by Warner Bros. Animation and WWE Studios.
Warner Home Video will distrib the film across all home video platforms, with WWE promoting the pic cross its own TV shows, magazine, websites and live events.
“The Flintstones” becomes the second animated co-production between the companies after they announced an animated “Scooby-Doo” film that will feature WWE’s stars in a new mystery when it’s released in March, just before “WrestleMania 30.”
Deal to co-produce a “Flintstones” film also extends an ongoing joke involving John Cena over the last several years.
Given Cena’s decision to build a brand around wearing brightly colored T-shirts and hats, he was called “fruity pebbles” as an insult during a feud with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
But WWE embraced the term and brokered an endorsement deal with Post Cereals that put Cena on boxes of Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles — even replacing Fred Flintstone — to promote “WrestleMania” and other pay-per-views over the last two years. Cena also has been shown backstage eating bowls of Fruity Pebbles during shows as part of the promo.
The cereal, introduced in 1971, features characters from “The Flintstones” and is the oldest cereal brand based on characters from a TV series or movie.
The Flintstones also enable WWE to expand its efforts to build its family audience. It’s also tag teamed with Saban to produce “WWE Saturday Morning Slam,” a Saturday morning series that’s been airing on the Vortexx block of kids shows on the CW. WWE also will co-produce the TV movie “Christmas Bounty,” with ABC Family, to air during its “25 Days of Christmas” programming block this winter.
“WWE is family-friendly entertainment, so partnering with Warner Bros. on a Flintstones-WWE project was a natural extension of our ‘Scooby-Doo’ deal,” said Michael Luisi, president, WWE Studios. “This new, animated feature allows us to showcase our brand with young fans and loyal Flintstones enthusiasts alike.”
And for Warner Bros., a pair up with WWE enables the studio to build some buzz around its aging “Flintstones” brand the way it’s been able to continue its “Scooby-Doo” series through new sequels and spinoffs over the years.
“Warner Bros. is thrilled to continue our partnership with WWE Studios as we begin production of the latest ‘Flintstones’ animated feature,” said Jeff Brown, executive VP and general manager, TV, Warner Home Video. “Our recent production collaborations have proven successful and we have the utmost confidence that the latest tag team between the WWE Superstars and The Flintstones will deliver the same results.” Hell. Yes. The Scooby Doo one is still the one I'm most looking forward to though. |

I always dreamed that my 10,000th post would be about a movie starring Scooby Doo and John Cena. Here is the trailer, DVD cover art and synopsis for Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery. The movie is a co-production of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and WWE Studios, and will be released on March 25th.  A mysterious ghostly bear is on the rampage, wreaking havoc on WrestleMania and attempting to steal the championship gold belt. Before you can say, "ruh-roh," Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma join forces with the lords of the wrestling ring to sort out the bear facts. WWE stars John Cena, Triple H, Sin Cara, Brodus Clay, AJ Lee, The Miz and Kane all provide their own voices, as does WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. |

The DVD is only £7 on Amazon. I'm definitely gonna pick up sometime in the next few weeks. I hope there's a commentary track or some other decent extras.

I hate whoever came up with that game. They're not even driving the right way and fuck those orange cones, seriously. |

This is everything I hoped it would be. Daphne wants a piece of Cena’s ass so bad.
Miz basically getting killed off in the first 5 minutes was hilarious to me.
You think you’ve seen everything in life then you see Sin Cara communicating through dance in a Scooby Doo movie. They had to be taking the piss out of him with this movie but it was great.
And I know it would have been predictable but I wanted Vince to be revealed as the Ghost Bear. |
