with "scooby-doo's" restored popularity in reruns on cartoon network, warner bros. animation and hanna-barbera (by then a subsidiary of warner bros. following the merger of time warner and turner entertainment in 1996) began producing one new "scooby-doo" direct-to-video movie a year beginning in 1998. these movies featured a slightly older version of the original five-character cast from the "scooby-doo, where are you!" days. the first four dtv entries were "scooby-doo on zombie island" (1998), "scooby-doo! and the witch's ghost" (1999), "scooby-doo and the alien invaders" (2000), and "scooby-doo and the cyber chase" (2001). frank welker was the only original voice cast member to return for these productions. don messick had died in 1997 and casey kasem, a strict vegetarian, relinquished the role of shaggy after having to provide the voice for a 1995 burger king commercial. therefore, scott innes took over as both scooby-doo and shaggy (billy west voiced shaggy in "scooby-doo on zombie island"). b.j. ward took over as velma, and mary kay bergman voiced daphne until her death in november 1999, and was replaced by grey delisle.
