Scrappy-Doo and Rowan Atkinson as the owner of an island amusement park. Scooby-Doo and the other nonhuman characters were created on-screen using computer-generated imagery.

Reggae artist Shaggy and rock group MXPX perform different versions of the theme song. Shaggy got his stage name from a previous hairstyle of his he says, not from the character.
