Scooby-Doo

 

 

Scoobert "Scooby"-Doo is the eponymous character of the popular franchise Scooby-Doo. At an early age, he was brought to the Mystery Inc. team.

Scooby-Doo is a Great Dane who is the pet and best friend ofNorville "Shaggy" Rogers. His real first name was unknown until an episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, when his parents revealed his real first name as being Scoobert (variation of Robert), much to Scooby's embarrassment.

Scooby has some difficulty with pronunciation (because he is a dog), and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R". His catch phrase, usually howled at the end of every episode, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". He also usually says, "Ruh-roh, Raggy" ("Uh-oh, Shaggy").

Don Messick performed the character's voice from 1969 until 1996. Scott Innes (also the then-voice of Shaggy) voiced Scooby-Doo in four late 1990s/early 2000s direct-to-video films. Frank Welker (also the voice of Fred) took over beginning with What's New, Scooby-Doo? in 2002 and other spin-offs. Neil Fanning provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the live-action feature films
