Scoob! (2020)
Mystery loves company.
In Scooby-Doo’s greatest adventure yet, see the never-before told story of how lifelong friends Scooby and Shaggy first met and how they joined forces with young detectives Fred, Velma, and Daphne to form the famous Mystery Inc. Now, with hundreds of cases solved, Scooby and the gang face their biggest, toughest mystery ever: an evil plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. As they race to stop this global “dogpocalypse,” the gang discovers that Scooby has a secret legacy and an epic destiny greater than anyone ever imagined.
In Scoob!, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “anthropomorphic canine adventure”. The story fights on E8/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing friendship, heroism, identity.
