Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo is a 2010 direct-to-DVD animated comedy horror mystery fantasy film, and the fourteenth entry in a series of direct-to-video animated films based upon the Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons. The film is directed by Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone.[2] It was produced in 2009 by Warner Bros. Animation and it was released on February 16, 2010. It made its television debut on July 10, 2010 on Cartoon Network.[3] The film performed well on iTunes, reaching the Top 10 on the Kids & Family film charts and the Top 40 on the iTunes film charts. The DVD sold 61,341 units in its first week and as of January 2013, it has sold approximately 433,000 units.[4]
This marks the first Scooby-Doo animated film to feature Matthew Lillard voicing Shaggy Rogers (having previously played the character in the theatrical live-action Scooby-Doo films), as well as the first direct-to-video Scooby-Doo film since Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase not to feature Shaggy's original voice actor Casey Kasem as his voice. This marked the final Scooby-Doo role of John Stephenson before his death in 2015. This is also the first Scooby-Doo project to have Andrea Romano as the voice director since A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.
The art style and visuals are now in a different format, with a darker, more realistic look similar to Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost, and this marks the third film where the characters are in their original outfits and designs from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! series, followed by Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico.
