Production[]

Notes/Trivia[]

  • There's no Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (theme song) in this movie.
  • Even though it was released in 2009, it has a 2008 copyright. This suggests the movie was produced and completed in 2008, around the same time as Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King, but was pushed back so Goblin King could be released in time for Halloween.
  • This was the last Scooby-Doo production to feature Casey Kasem as Shaggy before Kasem's death in June 2014. However, Kasem would later voice Shaggy's father for the TV series, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
  • This is the final Scooby-Doo production animated in the same style as What's New, Scooby-Doo?.
  • Daphne's martial art skills are finally displayed in full.
  • The plot by Miss Mirimoto is very similar to Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost, released ten years before. Mirimoto and Ben Ravencroft staged a mystery to attract the gang to find an artifact of power, only to have the summoned spirit turn on the summoner.
  • When Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne, and Velma each say their catchphrase in a row, Fred retorts how he still doesn't have one. Later on, however, he would say "Hold the phone" for a while (which was incorporated from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated).
  • This is the last direct-to-video movie to have the Zooming Hanna-Barbera logo at the end of the film.
  • This is one of the few times where Shaggy and Scooby are willing to save the day from a villain.
    • This is also marks the first time Shaggy and Scooby used actual weapons and engaged in battle face-to-face with the villain in the final showdown

Miscellaneous[]

Cultural references[]

  • The story of Hachikō by the Shibuya Station is real.
  • The tale involving Muramasa and Masamune is based on Japanese mythology.
  • Sojo says "The plane! The plane!" in the manner of Tattoo in the TV series Fantasy Island.
  • The gauntlet of booby traps in the cave contains some visual references to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
  • Scooby and Shaggy riding the Green Dragon in flight from Mount Fuji to Tokyo is similar to Chihiro riding on Haku's back in his dragon form in the Japanese anime movie Spirited Away.
  • Shaggy saying "there's a party in my stomach" is a reference to "Yo Gabba Gabba".
  • Miss Mirimoto bears a resemblance to Avatar's Azula, voiced by Grey DeLisle.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]

  • After the magnetic pulse caused a power outage, Kenji's goatee was missing.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]

  • None known.
