Line #20 Trivia/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland


1	* ActingForTwo:
2	** Though credited for voicing Snakebite Scruggs, Creator/MarkHamill also voices Shaggy and Scooby's airport supervisor.
3	** {{Creator/Jim Cummings\|1952}} voices Jacques, Morgan Moonscar, Confederate general Jackson Pettigrew, and a plantation worker. He was only credited for Jacques.
4	** Creator/FrankWelker voices Fred, Simone's cats, Snakebite's pet pig Mojo, and multiple zombies. Welker was only credited for Fred.
5	** In the Latin American Spanish dub, Scooby-Doo, Mr. Beeman, and Jacques are all voiced by Creator/FranciscoColmenero; and Creator/RicardoTejedo voices Fred Jones and Snakebite Scruggs.
6	* ActorSharedBackground: Creator/{{Jim Cummings\|1952}} actually did serve on a New Orleans riverboat when he was younger, and the time he spent in the city is what made him one of the few voice actors capable of doing a convincing Cajun accent. Jacques even looks [[InkSuitActor a little like him]].
7	* AllStarCast: At least in voice acting circles. The cast features voice acting luminaries Frank Welker, BJ Ward, Mary Kay Bergman, Billy West, Tara Strong, Jim Cummings, Adrienne Barbeau, Cam Clarke and Mark Hamill.
8	* CelebrityVoiceActor:
9	** Creator/AdrienneBarbeau provides the voice of Simone, continuing an active career in voice acting that launched six years earlier with ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.
10	** ''Zombie Island'' would be the first of many ''Scooby-Doo'' films and series in which Creator/MarkHamill does voice roles.
11	* DirectedByCastMember: The Latin American Spanish dub was directed by Genaro Vásquez, the voice actor for Beau Neville.
12	* FakeAmerican: Canadian-born Creator/TaraStrong affects an American Southern accent for Lena.
13	* InMemoriam: To Creator/DonMessick, the original voice actor for Scooby-Doo who had passed away the previous year due to complications from his second stroke, just before recording began.
14	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The two Skycycle songs were never properly released (a hokey synthesized version appeared on the soundtrack for ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheWitchsGhost''). The only "clean" versions that exist are played during the end credits.
15	* MissingTrailerScene: The earliest promos feature two scenes not in the final film:
16	** Scooby is carried bridal style by a zombie and screams while looking at the camera. This shot is still used on most home releases of the movie on the back of the VHS or DVD case.
17	** Scooby and Shaggy's first confrontation with the undead Morgan Moonscar takes place in the scary castle from the prologue. While this could be chalked up to the assets for the pit scene not being finished yet, Moonscar is also green in coloration suggesting the color of the zombies was not decided on yet.
18	* TheOriginalDarrin: After being voiced by Carl Steven in ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', Creator/FrankWelker returned to voicing Fred for this film, and continues to do so to this day, with the exceptions of ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'' (Creator/ZacEfron) and ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'' (Creator/GlennHowerton).
19	* TheOtherDarrin:
20	** Shaggy is voiced by Creator/BillyWest (for the only time outside some commercials) due to Casey Kasem quitting the role when it was refused to make Shaggy a vegetarian.
21	** Creator/MaryKayBergman voices Daphne, replacing Heather North.
22	** Scott Innes voices Scooby due to Creator/DonMessick succumbing to complications from his second stroke, and also replaces Hadley Kay who voiced Scooby in some commercials and on his appearances in ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''.
23	* TheOtherMarty: Heather North was originally planned to reprise her long-running role of Daphne, but during recording, she was replaced with Creator/MaryKayBergman after producers decided they wanted a fresher take on the role. North would still later voice Daphne two more times, in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheLegendOfTheVampire'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheMonsterOfMexico''.
24	* PlayingAgainstType: [[spoiler:Creator/TaraStrong usually voices {{Genki Girl}}s or {{Keet}} boys. Even though Lena is probably the [[DamnedByFaintPraise least evil]] of the three villains, it's easily the most evil role Strong has ever voiced]].
25	* RecycledScript: The concept was originally a unfinished ''WesternAnimation/SwatKats'' episode, "The Curse of Kataluna" (which would've involved a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]]). Suddenly, the DarkerAndEdgier tone (and all the cat-related motifs) makes a lot more sense. (Parts of it were also recycled by the writer, Glenn Leopold, for the season two episode "Eclipse" for ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures''.)
26	* RoleReprise:
27	** Creator/FrankWelker returns to voice Fred's first [[WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo (non-child)]] appearance since 1984. Welker is the ''only'' one of the original voice actors to do so (though Heather North was planned to return, Casey Kasem was sought to return, and it's heavily implied Creator/DonMessick would also have returned had he lived).
28	** BJ Ward, who voices Velma here, previously voiced her in the ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' crossover episode a year earlier.
29	* WagTheDirector: Creator/CaseyKasem was going to reprise his role as Shaggy, but he'd recently gone vegan and demanded the character do the same. He was turned down and recast with Creator/BillyWest, because a) they felt it would be too radical a character change for Shaggy, who was always depicted as eating everything and anything and b) some of the animation had already been started, featuring Shaggy eating crawfish and other non-vegan food. Casey was offered another chance at the end of production, when Billy West had already recorded all his dialogue, but he refused.
30	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
31	** As noted above, Heather North, Creator/DonMessick, and Creator/CaseyKasem were originally going to reprise their roles as Daphne, Scooby, and Shaggy respectively. North was replaced because the producers wanted a newer take on Daphne, Messick passed away before he could record any lines, and Kasem was turned down because he wanted Shaggy to be rewritten as a vegan.
32	** Creator/TaraStrong says that she and the other voice actors were originally going to speak in Cajun accents. She herself says she found the accent very difficult and Creator/{{Jim Cummings\|1952}}, who learned it around the time of his residency in Louisiana, said they didn't sound authentic, so they just went with typical Louisiana accents.
33	** The creative team disagreed on what tone the story should take; director Jim Stenstrum pushed for real supernatural threats (as the normal 'bad guy in a mask' format could get tiresome for a feature length story), while writer Glenn Leopold felt that ''Scooby Doo'''s core remained simple, solvable mysteries. [[spoiler: The film goes with a compromise, where there are genuine supernatural elements, but it's a mystery whether they're real for a while - and the villain is still revealed towards the end]].
34	** Shaggy initially got a fashion update like the other characters, with his t-shirt and pants becoming red and blue respectively and gaining sneakers (which would have looked identical to his appearances from ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'' and the 3 Scooby and Scrappy 80's trilogy films). But they changed their minds, feeling his classic look was more timeless than Fred and Daphne's obvious 60s influences. This look would get repurposed for Cyber Shaggy come ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheCyberChase''.
35	** If the early promos mentioned in MissingTrailerScene are anything to go off of, the zombies initially were all a deep, sickly green color. In the final film, they're mostly the same shades of skin they were in life.
