2001 direct-to-video film
Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase is a 2001 American direct-to-video animated science fiction comedy film, and the fourth in a series of direct-to-video animated films based on the Scooby-Doo franchise. The film was produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons in collaboration with Warner Bros. Animation, and released on October 9, 2001.
The film was the final production released under the Hanna-Barbera name, following the studio's absorption into Warner Bros. Animation seven months prior. It is dedicated to co-founder William Hanna, who died on March 22, 2001, making this the last project he and Joseph Barbera executive produced together. The film also marked a significant transition for the voice cast: it introduced Grey DeLisle as the new voice of Daphne Blake. She replaced Mary Kay Bergman due to her death in November 1999. The film was the last to feature Scott Innes as the voice of both Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, as well as B. J. Ward as Velma. Director Jim Stenstrum and producer Davis Doi departed the series after its completion, citing "creative differences" with Warner Bros.
The film was the first in the series to utilize digital ink and paint and was the fourth and final to be animated by the Japanese studio Mook Animation. It was re-released on Blu-ray on April 5, 2011, alongside Aloha, Scooby-Doo!.
