- This article is about the film. For other uses, see Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase (disambiguation).
Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase is the fourth in a series of direct-to-video films based on Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons. It was released on VHS and DVD on October 9, 2001.
It is recognized as the last "official" Hanna-Barbera production, as Warner Bros. had fully absorbed Hanna-Barbera after the passing of co-founder, William Hanna, who received a dedication.
Premise[]
Mystery Inc. is invited to test their friend, Eric Staufer's, computer program, but are terrorized by a computer virus that is transported into the real world.
Synopsis[]
Late at night, Professor Kaufman and his students, Eric Staufer and Bill McLemore, work on getting rid of a virus in a computer program, but the laser turns on and materializes the virus into the real world. The virus absorbs data out the computers and attacks the scientists. Later, Mystery Inc. visits Staufer at the university he was attending to test their computer program. When they arrive, they are inspected by Officer Wembley, who distrusts them and keeps a close eye on Scooby.
The gang arrives at the computer lab with Staufer, McLemore, and Kaufman, who explain that their laser sends real-timed objects into the computer simulation, but a computer virus from the program accidentally got transported into the real world. Professor Kaufman says that the laser was intended to win a science fair for a quarter-million dollars, but warned of the virus' threat as it could steal computer programs and make a telephone comes to life. However, it had a weakness to magnets, warding it away with a magnet. So, they create a plan to send the virus back into cyberspace, splitting into two groups to search for it and arming themselves with strong magnets to weaken the virus.
Fred, Daphne, Velma encounter the virus in the basement, defending themselves with a magnet. However, Officer Wembley catches them and takes them to Professor Kaufman's lab for trespassing. Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby encounter the virus while eating in a cafeteria, being chased back to the laboratory. During the chase, the laser is suddenly activated, transporting Mystery Inc. into the computer Staufer's computer game. The scientists realize that in order for them to escape, they will need to beat each of the ten levels to win the game, finding the box of Scooby Snacks on each level.
In the first level, they are transported on the moon, having to avoid both the Phantom Virus and two Moon Ghosts. Chased by the monsters, they find the box of Scooby Snacks at an American moon base before being teleported to the next level set in a Roman Colosseum. They progress through each of the levels, set in various time periods, before finally arriving at the tenth and final level taking place in a city. In a malt shop, they meet their cyber doubles and work together to beat the final level at CyberLand, a boardwalk.
They confront the virus playing baseball in a batting cage, but encounter five monsters from Mystery Inc.'s past investigations: the Jaguaro, Gator Ghoul, the Tar Monster, Old Iron Face and the Creeper. They split up, each person pairing with their cyber double, to confront a monster. Eventually, they defeat their monsters and reunite to confront the virus. Working together, they finally succeed in grabbing the box of Scooby Snacks, causing both the virtual monsters and the Phantom Virus to dissipate, ceasing to exist. Mystery Inc. bids farewell to their cyber doubles before returning to the real world to confront the virus' creator.
Back in their real world, Mystery Inc. considers their suspects: Kaufman stood to make a fortune if he could pass off the laser invention as his own, and Officer Wembley was in the only person room when Mystery Inc. was sent into cyberspace. However, while in the game, Mystory Inc. noticed several allusions to baseball throughout the ten levels, and as McLemore designed a baseball game, they exposed McLemore as the real culprit. After attempting to escape but being promptly caught, McLemore confessed he created the virus to sabotage the game because Kaufman chose Staufer's game over his. He planned to submit his own project to the science fair and win the prize money for himself. To prevent Mystery Inc. from discovering his crime, he turned on the laser to send Mystery Inc. into the game. After he is apprehended by Officer Wembley, Mystery Inc. eats at a soda shop with Staufer, where Staufer thanks Mystery Inc. for the crime and shows them his computer, showing their cyber doubles.
Post-credits[]
Velma talks about her wild side as she reminisces about her favorite part of the filming in the prehistoric jungle. She then goes on about how the gang trained and herded the mammoths. Fred talks about how his dreams of playing baseball ended pretty early but goes on to talk about how his dreams of being a gladiator realized when they made the movie and how amazed he was when acting like Shaggy helped him. Daphne spoke of her sense of adventure which is why she enjoyed shooting at the North Pole. She goes on to talk about arctic safety. Shaggy talks about how he enjoyed the arcade despite being a bad sport. Shaggy and Scooby talk about how they used the laser to try and summon various foods and how they brought cyber Scooby into the real world.

Continuity[]
- Cyber Shaggy's outfit is similar to Shaggy's old outfit which he wore in The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers, Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, and Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.
- The real Velma wears the same outfit she wore in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost.
- The villains from the real gang's past are from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and The Scooby-Doo Show:
- The Creeper appeared in the SDWAY episode Jeepers, It's the Creeper. (He's only villain from SDWAY to appear.)
- The Tar Monster appeared in the self-titled TSDS episode The Tar Monster.
- Old Iron Face in the TSDS episode The Creepy Case of Old Iron Face.
- The Jaguaro in the TSDS episode Jeepers, It's the Jaguaro!.
- And lastly the Gator Ghoul first appeared in TSDS episode The Gruesome Game of the Gator Ghoul.
Production[]
Like Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost, this also had studio involvement, but unlike the former, this was almost impossible to save, because the studio forced a contracted writer on the crew, who wrote scenes that were quite difficult to animate in the allotted time and the 2-D animation used.[1] There was a lot of outsourcing after scenes had to be fixed.[2] This led to the disbandment of the "brain trust" that included Davis Doi, Glenn Leopold, Jim Stenstrum, and Lance Falk, who planned to continue working on the series (and had at least one other written), but the studio's inability to leave them alone proved too much.[1]
- To get interest in the film from the crew, Stenstrum even proposed to have live actors for the video game scenes.[2]
Notes/Trivia[]
- From this film onward, all Scooby-Doo shows and animated films would be digitally animated.
- While the VHS lists the running time as 84 mins, the DVD lists it as 89 minutes and the Blu-Ray states it is only 69 minutes. The correct runtime appears to be 73-74 mins - as stated on Amazon's digital download page.
- Scooby breaks the fourth wall at the end when he winks to the audience.
- New Wave band The B-52's sings the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (theme song) where Scooby and Shaggy are being chased by the Phantom Virus (The B-52's also appears in The Flintstones live action film as The BC-52's.)
- This is the last movie from its "dark era" style of animation. However, the animation in this movie differs slightly from the three prior released movies, while the style remains the same; the darker shading has been removed leaving a brighter look. After this the film series would go back to a traditional 2-D look for the next two films while returning Fred and Daphne to their original attire (i.e. Fred with his white shirt and ascot, Daphne in her purple skirt, and headband, etc.) as well as follow a less darker motif with a more What's New, Scooby-Doo? animated style and tone.
- This is the first Scooby-Doo movie to slightly return to the original format where the monster isn't real, though the overall plot still varies significantly from the established formula. In this case, the villain is a venomous computer virus created by someone, so it can be argued that the monster was never considered real. However, since the virus was exactly what it claimed to be, it can also be considered 'real' at the same time. The movies would not feature real supernatural creatures again until Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King, though several of them had implications, such as at the end of Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster.
- This is the first Scooby-Doo production to have Grey DeLisle as the voice of Daphne (due to the death of Mary Kay Bergman in 1999). However, she does not permanently voice Daphne for the direct-to-video films (and the rest of the franchise) until Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster.
- This is the last time Scott Innes does the voice of both Shaggy and Scooby as Casey Kasem would re-assume the role of Shaggy for the next film, and Frank Welker was offered the role of Scooby, therefore, Innes was no longer needed. However, Innes would continue to voice the characters in video games and commercials. This is also the last film where B.J. Ward voices Velma. The last four times she voiced her were in the Halloween special Night of the Living Doo which was aired on Cartoon Network, and the video games Jinx at the Sphinx, Activity Challenge, (Windows PC) and Night of 100 Frights (PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox).
- This film is dedicated in memory of creator William Hanna who passed away before the movie's release date.
- Ironically, despite being the creator of the game, Eric Staufer has never been able to beat the video game.
- In a post-credits scene, the gang reveals what each liked about the game; this is usually removed from television airings.
- Velma: Prehistoric
- Fred: Roman Empire
- Daphne: Arctic
- Shaggy: Cyberland Video Arcade
- Scooby: The Laser
- Due to the plot of the film, it would seem logical to release a video game tie-in; it has been the third DTV film thus far to have a video game. The second one being Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders with Classic Creep Capers (Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color), Showdown in Ghost and Phantom of the Knight (Windows PC), and the first one being Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost with Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom (Windows PC).
- This is the third time Scooby has dressed up as a blonde nurse (and the second time as a disguise); the previous time was in the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo episode A Bicycle Built for Boo!.
- This is the last movie in which Scooby says "Dog? Where?"
- The first entry in the direct-to-video series to be animated digitally as opposed to animation cels.
- Daphne does not wear her jacket during the post-credits sequence.
- This is Tom Kane’s first and only Scooby-Doo project he starred in.
- The giant ant scene in the backyard is reminiscent of '90s video games such as Sim Ant and Jet Force Gemini.
- The laser machine is modeled after the ENCOM machine in 1982's Tron. In both films, the protagonists are transported inside a digital world by means of a laser machine.
- The college laboratory somewhat resembles the MIT Media Lab, complete with their own security force. MIT later published a mathematical model named after Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine.
- While likely not intentional, several moon landing conspiracy theories seem to be referenced in the moon sequence. Among these, the stars are visible, the flag does not wave, the dust is minimal and dry, Shaggy can lift inhumanly heavy objects, and the gang can leap extraordinary distances.
Miscellaneous[]
- Disguises:
- Shaggy and Scooby disguise themselves as a doctor and nurse to trick the Phantom Virus into participating in a psychology experiment.

- Clues:
- On the moon level, the Phantom Virus shouted "Play ball."
- On the Roman Coliseum level, there are chalk lines in the ground resembling a baseball diamond.
- On the final level, the Phantom Virus appeared in a batting cage.
- Scooby Snacks bribe: To convince Shaggy and Scooby to go after the Phantom Virus, Velma offers each of them two snacks.
- "Ruh-roh" count: 4
- "Zoinks" count: 12
- "Jeepers" count: 1
- "Jinkies" count: 9
- "Let's split up, gang" count: 2
- Velma loses her glasses: In the wax museum, when startled by Iron Face, Velma and Cyber Velma bump into each other, and both lose their glasses.
Adaptations[]
- Two real-world video games both were developed by THQ for the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance.
- Scholastic published a novelization using the same name on October 1, 2001. It was written by Jesse Leon McCann.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]
- When Eric picks up a box of Scooby Snacks while explaining the objective of his game, the box clips right through his desk and computer.
- During the moon level Grey DeLisle says in her Daphne voice "remember what Eric said, we need to find the box of Scooby Snaxs" however rather than Daphne getting this line Velma got it.
- In the scene when Jaguaro falls down the log flume and both Scooby and Cyber-Scooby wave good-bye, both of their collars are red and their fur is the same shade of brown Cyber-Scooby's is.
- In the scene where Jaguaro was walking in the carnival, both Scooby and Cyber-Scooby have their collars turqoise and their fur is the same shade of brown Normal Scooby's is.
- Later on, in the scene when Jaguaro falls down the log flume and both Scooby and Cyber-Scooby wave good-bye, both of their collars are red and their fur is the same shade of brown Cyber-Scooby's is.
- When Velma was explaining about finding the box of Scooby Snacks, in the first level, she has Daphne's voice instead of her normal voice.
- When Bill is witnessing the Phantom Virus absorbing the computer data, he has Eric’s voice instead of his.
- In the scene during "Double Double Joint", when both Velma's run into the petting zoo, followed by Old Iron Face, it clearly states "CYBER AND PETTING ZOO" on a banner behind them. The "L" in CYBERLAND is missing.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- When the Virus makes the telephone attack Eric in the opening, the wires wrap around Eric's wrist. In the flashback, the wires are around his sleeve.
- It's obvious that Officer Wembley couldn't have beamed the gang into cyberspace because the arm that was shown activating the laser was thin and had a lab coat sleeve over it. Officer Wembley had beefy arms and no long sleeves.
- Some of the amusement park villains look and/or act differently from their prior versions. This can be explained as Eric misinterpreting or deliberately diverging from Mystery Inc.'s memoirs.
- The original Creeper growled "PAPER" while the cyber version simply states his name in a menacing tone of voice. This is due to a common misconception that the Creeper was always repeating his own name instead of demanding they give him an incriminating photo. Although, the original Creeper did growl "CREEPER" sometimes.
- Jaguaro is much shorter than in The Scooby-Doo Show, and growls like a tiger instead of yelling like Tarzan.
- A few select objects (such as the laser machine at certain angles) seem to have been rendered at a lower resolution than the rest of the drawn picture. At the time of release, the resolution of a DVD or VHS tape were low enough to hide this. In the Blu-Ray release, it can be seen quite clearly and is likely present in streaming versions as well.
- In the bonus features, Daphne references the winter level as being the North Pole, but only the South Pole has a ceremonial striped pole.
- The magnet strength is inconsistent throughout the film; it would seem that they should have done more than pull tacks out of the walls once.
