DN: (laughs) Yeah, and Adam really brings something special to that character, too.
There's almost this existential Charlie Brown-ness to him that I really like. I think Adam really makes that obvious, and makes that charming.

A couple of fun extras add to the disc's enjoyment. First, Scooby-Doo Camp Stories is a live-action segment featuring a young actor (maybe he's well-known to kids audiences...but he's not credited here) telling scary camp fire stories for the young viewers.
The question that some may ask at tonight's awards event: "is that guy unionized, or did they outsource all their classic heroes like Marvel and DC?"
