VOD - Scoob!, The Motion Picture Score

By Mulder, 29 may 2020

WaterTower Music is excited to announce today’s release of the Scoob! Original Motion Picture Score, featuring new music from Grammy? nominated composer Tom Holkenborg AKA Junkie XL (Mad Max Fury Road, Deadpool). The first full-length animated Scooby-Doo adventure for the big screen, Scoob! presents the never-before told stories of Scooby-Doo’s origins and the greatest mystery in the career of Mystery Inc.

Composer Tom Holkenborg continually explores the boundaries of his creative capacity: be it composing, producing, utilizing his multi-instrumentalist skills, or as a music educator and music curriculum developer. That versatility reveals itself also in his creative musical offerings and film scores. Although Scoob! is the composer’s first foray into animation, his non-traditional approach to the score showcases his nimble adaptability.

Holkenborg discussed his approach to the Scoob! music. “Scooby-Doo is an iconic character for multiple generations. There are many unique layers in the original series, touching on the counterculture, surf rock and psychedelia; and it was really interesting to try and encompass some of these elements with more contemporary sounds for Scoob!

“This isn't a traditional score,” continued the composer. “It's really out there - with nods to industrial, hip-hop and even gabber. The majority of the score is me blending a lot of hip-hop rhythms and beats with the zanier elements of the original series. We used players on surf guitars and Hammond organs, and it was a great chance for me to get my hands dirty on the bass guitar and iconic drum machines, like the Emulator SP1200. I had a blast working on this. Scoob! was really a lot of fun. “

The first full-length animated Scooby-Doo adventure for the big screen is the never-before told stories of Scooby-Doo’s origins and the greatest mystery in the career of Mystery Inc.

Scoob! reveals how lifelong friends Scooby and Shaggy first met and how they joined with young detectives Fred, Velma and Daphne to form the famous Mystery Inc. Now, with hundreds of cases solved and adventures shared, Scooby and the gang face their biggest, most challenging mystery ever: a plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. As they race to stop this global “dogpocalypse,” the gang discovers that Scooby has a secret legacy and an epic destiny greater than anyone imagined.
