Scooby-Doo’s new design has fans unsure what Great Dane puppies look like
Netflix revealed the puppy cast as Scooby-Doo for the upcoming live-action series Scooby-Doo: Origins, a modern reimagining of the classic cartoon. The show takes a darker tone, incorporating supernatural horror elements similar to how Riverdale approached the Archie Comics franchise. Production notably uses a real puppy rather than CGI, departing from Hollywood’s recent trend of relying on computer-generated animals.
However, the casting announcement has drawn online criticism from fans who argue the puppy doesn’t resemble a Great Dane. The complaints, while widespread on social media, focus on the physical appearance of the young dog chosen for the role, raising questions about breed standards and fan expectations for the character’s visual design.
