Pretty sure the top one is Bobby Flay, but no idea about the other. And that’s only because my grandma excessively watches Bobby Flay. While I probably won’t know the majority of guest stars, still excited to see Shaggy and Scooby reactions around all the inevitable food.

Post away, the people just don't mean anything to me - that's the danger with celebrity crossover's. Russ when are you going to learn that the series is primarily intended for Americans. That's why they never use any guest stars that might be better known in other countries. Just like the fact that they never air your country's cartoons here in the states. Many Americans would be totally unfamiliar with most British celebrities. |

Simply because a series is made in one country doesn't mean it isn't intended for or enjoyed by people in other countries, take Doctor Who for example. It's a British TV show which has gained immense popularity in the US as well as the UK. There have also been plenty of British cartoons aired in the US and vice versa. A good example of this is the recent Peanuts/Charlie Brown cartoons that originated in France, but were translated for airing in the US because it was popular here as well. Ricky Gervais is a British comedian who is guest starring in the new show, so clearly there are at least some guest stars from other countries besides America. |

I said it was PRIMARILY intended for Americans. They may sell the show other countries but Americans are the true target audience. That's why most of the guest stars for the new show are Americans or Fictional Americans like Steve Urkel. |

They have Sherlock and Gervais for foreign viewers. All I'm saying is don't expect any contestants from british tv talent shows. Scooby may be marketed to other countries but it seems that using guest stars who'd appeal to the rest of the world is really an afterthought.

Here in the US we are an afterthought with an Italian show called Geronimo Stilton. His books are sold in the US but very few episodes of the Canadian English dub of the TV series are available to watch here. We have access only to season two and all but four episodes of season one. The final season still hasn't made it over here.
Though I have to admit, celebrity chefs are a ridiculous idea for a guest star. It's like Sam Register has a dartboard in his office with ideas on it and wherever the darts land, that's the plot of a new movie.

Even for people in the states it’s a bit of a stretch. Like I previously said, I’m also unfamiliar with most of the guest stars. I just do not think it’s a smart move as the majority of the audience that watches Scooby would not necessarily be a Food Network fan as well (that’s where the majority of these guest stars have their own shows on). I just don’t think it was thought out well in that sense, but I do still look forward to the film.

I've already dropped Where Are You and Team Up from my pull list, none of the immediate Scooby stuff holds much interest for me so perhaps I'll find another franchise that is happier for a foreigner to watch their stuff. My ultimate concern is this, if you are relying on celebrity crossovers to carry your franchise then you have a problem with your core material or no confidence in it. |

I mean Winx is also Italian but I'm prettt sure it's as popular in the States. Also, it's all about the story rather than the celebrities. I think its better, actually. Having secondary characters that have a bigger relevance rather than a random "Joe the cook". Especially for a cooking contest, they would be perfect guests. The movie revolves around a mystery in a cooking contest so Bobby Flay and Giada DiLaurentiis only help with making it more realistic tbh |

I said it was PRIMARILY intended for Americans. They may sell the show other countries but Americans are the true target audience. That's why most of the guest stars for the new show are Americans or Fictional Americans like Steve Urkel. It's all about money. American celebrities are just cheaper for a kids show's budget than worldwide-known celebrities. I accept Scooby Doo and Guess Who as a show intended for Americans. It's being made for the 50th Anniversary of the american premiere, it continues the tradition of crossovers which made big impact on american pop culture etc. That's fine. But when talking about the rest (including Gourmet Ghost), it's a shame because Scooby's history didn't stop in 1973 with The New SD Movies for Americans. Since then, SD conquered hearts of fans in the Americas, Europe, Australia and many other places, becoming worldwide known franchise. WB should take into account also our wishes about Scooby's new releases and future. And Scooby's future shouldn't be advertising cheap celebrities for masses, brainwashing young american audience and confusing the rest of the world just for (highly doubtful) money. Scooby should aim higher. As to Gourmet Ghost, I hope the Celebrity Chefs won't be too exposed, overshadowing the story. When from the point of a casual observer they are like fictional secondary characters, I'll be fine with it. |
