Trivia:

At one point in the film, Scooby and Shaggy are pretending to sing into a toilet brush "microphone". The song they are actually singing is Strangers in the Night - Frank Sinatra's version featured the improvised scat lyrics, "Scoo-bee-doo-bee-doo", lyrics which then-CBS executive Fred Silverman chose as the replacement name of Scooby-Doo, in the original Scooby-Doo series. The original choice of name for Scooby was "Too Much", a popular catchphrase of the era.

Goofs:

Continuity: After Daphne fights the 10,000 volt ghost and gets hit way over to where Fred is, her hair is singed on the ends (as it would be). But when she and Fred meet up with Velma, her hair is normal again.

Quotes:

Miner 49er: I'll get you, you varmints!

Not as bad as I expected

But that does'nt mean that it is good. Porting Scooby from 2D to 3D itself was a pretty dumb idea and no body really expects it to work. And it does'nt work. You should probably ignore Scooby for this entire movie as it is bad CGI and the 3D avatar far froms shows as convincing. However, there are some decent performances by the guy who plays Shaggy very impressively and some others. By far the most impressive thing about this movie are the monsters which have been very very very well done and are sheer fun to experience. Don't go expecting any great story or anything great and just go see it for mindless fun. There's nothing wrong with mindless fun is there?
