No. Recasting the entire cast was a really disgusting move. Matthew Lillard even said that nobody at WB told him about the movie or even considered him, and he found out on Twitter, because he wasn't even talked to about the movie. Recasting Frank Welker as Fred is even more of a horrible move, especially since he voiced Fred since the very first episode of the show. I mean, if you're going to keep him as the voice of Scooby, why not save money and have him voice Fred as well?

Answer? Big, modern names equal big bucks. It's obvious that this movie is not a celebration of Scooby's 50th Anniversary; rather, it's simply an animated film with big, modern-day stars in order to attract people, and making it theatrical just gives them more money. This movie is nothing but a cash-grab. Also, Fred looks so off compared to the rest of the designs, especially the retro-styled Shaggy and Scooby. I'm going to vote with my wallet, and go nowhere near that movie.
