10 Most Horrifying Changes Of Animated Characters To Live-Action
10. Scooby-Doo (Scooby-Doo)
Though they got a bad rep upon release, time has been unusually kind to the live-action Scooby Doo films.
As the audience who saw the films as impressionable children grew into adulthood and a select few of the folks involved with the films creatively became respectable Hollywood forces (James Gunn, Matthew Lillard) the films took on a cultish afterlife of their own.
But if there's one thing about those films that was wrong at the time and has only gotten worse with age, it's Scooby himself. While Gunn and co. pretty much nailed the writing of Scooby as a character, the CGI design of the character leaves quite a bit to be desired. Instead of looking like the friendly and lovable dog audiences remember from the animated show, he instead just looks like a CGI monster, not a far cry from the horrendously ugly literal monsters that plague Spooky Island in the first film.
Instead of being a great representation of a lovable animated character in live-action form (see: Paddington), Scooby is CGI character better left forgotten.
