Somehow SCOOB! is turning 5 years old already. 😱

It was such an honor to be the team that reintroduced the Mystery Inc. gang to the big screen in this spooky adventure — and all the chaos, clues, and I-would-have-gotten-away-with-its that followed. 🕵️‍♂️🧡💥

Huge thanks to Warner Bros. and director Tony Cervone for leading the way and being such wonderful partners.

Déjà 5 ans que SCOOB! est sorti… le temps file! 😱

Quel honneur ce fût de réunir la gang de Mystery Inc. sur le grand écran dans cette aventure pleine de frissons — avec tout le chaos, les indices, et les fameux « j’aurais réussi mon coup si c’était pas de vous» qui viennent avec une aventure de Scooby!🕵️‍♂️🧡💥

Un énorme merci à Warner Bros. et au réalisateur Tony Cervone pour avoir mené le projet et été des partenaires en or!
