Warner Brothers Reveals More Information About Velma at Annecy Festival

6/15/2022

Warner Brothers shared a bit more information about the upcoming Velma series today at the Annecy Festival in France. According to Variety, some more images were revealed at the festival that showed more of the supernatural elements in this series. One image apparently shows a woman transforming into a monster with a long neck, and another showed Velma's face being completely enveloped in the arms of a snake-like creature. In addition, it was revealed a major focus point of the series will be Velma investigating the overarching mystery of her mother's disappearance.

The Executive Vice President of alternative programming at Warner Brothers Animation, Peter Girardi, shared that “we’ve seen these characters in preschool and 6-11 shows, but now evolving them into an adult animation space has been something we’ve been working on for a long time."

None of these images have been released to the general public yet.

It's annoying how all this stuff is revealed, but we the public don't get to see. It's for investors and whatnot, and less sophisticated than Disney Investors Day it seems, cause at least with that we get somewhat more out of it.

But I am more hopeful based on what we've learnt from what they were so gracious enough to reveal, in that this is about Velma becoming a detective. That really appeals to me, as it means there's more development to be had. The idea of Velma's mother being missing also gives her a personal stake, other than someone who simply wants to solve a mystery. I mean, we've all seen that kind of thing before, but I like that we have it in this series too.

I wish they would release the images to the public too! It's strange they don't.

Velma being a detective appeals to me as well. It's cool to hear there will be the overarching mystery of Velma trying to find her mother. I'm looking forward to this!

The part about Velma's face being completely enveloped in the arms of a snake-like creature sounds disgusting and disasterful to me, I am more exicted about the news of a new Wacky Races series since it sounds much better then this series.

DISTASTEFUL??? Bro the whole gang has literally been in the nastiest situation and you are worried about Velma’s face covered by the hands of a snake-like creature? Literally this is just showcasing how you will cling onto ANY smallest detail to bash this show. Talk about distasteful…

Anyways, some more tweets revealed that there was an entire trailer shown, Shaggy will be black (confirming the character descriptions leaked a while ago, meaning we have a ton of info already). They called the show freky and full of things we’ve never seen in a Scooby show before. Apparently Shaggy appears to be less freightened than usual

What I a worried about is that Velma will be of a more horror series rather then a detective/mystery, give that the description states that a woman will transform into a monster. Granted this a adult series so blood and gore is to expected in it, bur elments of horror scenes is a different matter and I very much frown upon such things featured in this.

Thanks for sharing the links, Scoobylover! Do you know who the person that wrote those tweets is? I'm just curious in terms of their credibility or if they worked on the show at all.

As for the other part, I guess I can't say I understand why Velma's face being covered by the hands of a snake creature would be that concerning, since I imagine it's just a monster she runs into like they normally do in every show. I can't imagine that particular image means they're going to have her be eaten alive by the snake monster or anything.

Velma's face being covered by snake arms is just the same as saying her face is being covered by vines. It might be bad, but that's just the typical danger of the series, anyway. It's probably no worse than what they did in Mystery Incorporated, in some respects.

As for the woman transforming into a monster, does that sound a little Generator Rex to anyone else? It's not what we see in "Scooby-Doo," but then again if we don't embrace change, all we should be expecting is SCOOBY-DOO AND GUESS WHO. I don't want another Scooby-Doo and Guess Who for the next 2-3 years.

This is why I don't get the hate for velma it's likely just going to be another version of the gang and nothing more I don't think it's going to have a huge impact on the franchise they make Scooby doo stuff that deviate from the formula and stuff that don't.

I love what you said at the bottom and I completely agree. Maybe some variations of the franchise will be better or worse for some people, but I like that they're experimenting. Two seasons of Guess Who was enough in my opinion, I wouldn't want anything more like that and I'm ready for something new at this point.
