Continuity[]
- Daphne's surname was revealed as Blake in the The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show episode, No Sharking Zone.
- Starting from this movie up until Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword, all the DTV-movies appear to take place in the same continuity as What's New, Scooby-Doo?. Another reference to WSND is the appearance of NATLAS, which first appeared in There's No Creature Like Snow Creature.
- Coolsville is the hometown of the gang, as established in the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo TV series.
Notes/trivia[]
- The gang is now voiced by the cast of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, including Grey DeLisle and Mindy Cohn. DeLisle however was in Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase and briefly replaced by Heather North Kenney for Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico.
- This is the first to feature the Mystery Inc. gang in the same clothes they wear in What's New, Scooby-Doo? after the previous two DTVs had the gang wear their old clothes in the What's New, Scooby Doo? animation style.
- This is the first feature-length Scooby-Doo movie to be set in Scotland, but it is not the first time the gang have been to Scotland, or the first time that the gang have encountered the Loch Ness Monster.
- At the end of the movie, Scooby spots what's implied to be the real Loch Ness Monster just before saying his catchphrase in a bewildered manner.
- It is revealed in this movie that Daphne has Scottish ancestry and that the ancestral home of her Scottish side of the family is an old castle dating all the way back to the Middle Ages called "Blake Castle." Shannon claims that the castle has been in the Blake family for more than eight centuries.
- Also, according to Shannon (and at least for the WNSD-continuity), being "danger prone" is apparently a hereditary thing for the Scottish side of the Daphne's family. In the early series, Daphne was known for being a bit of a klutz, to the point of being called "Danger Prone Daphne."
- This movie features the only appearance of Daphne's cousin, Shannon Blake, who looks identical to Daphne (and shares the same voice actress as her) but with shorter hair, a Scottish accent and a grungier/more tomboyish style of clothing.
- Del Chillman returns in Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!, where he mentions this movie by stating that "Nessie was a no-show".
- Fred made up nicknames for the gang:
- Velma = Mama Bird
- Fred = Baby Bird
- He also recited the first three letters (Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie) of the (International) Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, also known as the NATO phonetic alphabet. This is used to communicate Roman letters without confusion over ones that rhyme with each other.
- In real life, Haggis is not the same as it is presented here. Traditionally, it is a pudding with all of a sheep's vital organs. Although, it can be served as a main course, as is the case with the Burns Supper.
- During the madcap flight from the land-based Nessie, there is an unusual example of Scooby driving the Mystery Machine. He is surprisingly good at it, given the circumstances.
- With the exception of Daphne's cousin, Shannon, practically everyone the gang meets while staying at Blake Castle had some kind of motive for potentially being the mystery's culprit.
Adaptations[]
- On June 1, 2004, Scholastic published a regular novel and a 8x8 book, written by Suzanne Weyn and Jesse Leon McCann, respectively.
Cultural references[]
- The Loch Ness Monster strongly resembles the Palaeosaurus from The Giant Behemoth, a 1959 film which was later acquired by Warner Bros.
- Shaggy says "I don't think we're in Coolsville anymore," paraphrasing a line about Kansas in the 1939 film of The Wizard of Oz.
- A similar tugboat disaster scene happens in the film Jaws, albeit with a shark instead of the Loch Ness Monster.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]
- None known.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- After everything that happens, nobody of authority shows up. Presumably McIntyre and his men are taken away off-screen.
- The land-based Loch Ness Monster must have been a gigantic robot to have such destructive power but at the end it is shown to be made of logs and canvas, which would be incapable of such movements.
- Shaggy and Scooby encounter a salamander eating a leaf. One, salamanders don't have teeth (except for their mythical cousins), and two, salamanders are carnivorous.
