SCOOBY-DOO (2002) originally opened with an incredible animated sequence that was ultimately cut for length.
It’s still one of the strangest deleted scenes in a blockbuster.
Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation:
“The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

2 pictures side by side of the start of Smiling Friends 8 years ago and the end with @psychicpebble and I at Yum Yum donuts in Burbank, California. We would wander around different places in Burbank talking about the show and coming up with episode ideas, which consisted of a lot of imagining what Mr. Frog would smash and destroy around us. We’re so proud of this show and continue to be blown away by the fandom which loves it as much as we do. It was such an insane, amazing journey to make this and we really appreciate everyone who watched it and the incredible crew who worked on it, and of course @adultswim for making it happen. We love you all and thank you for allowing us to make you smile, you made us smile even more!
