Special Edition Films

On the 10th of October, it was announced by Critical Productions that Special Edition versions of each of the Operation R.E.L.P Trilogy's films would be re-released, featuring new special effects and editing techniques. The following is taken from the announcement:

''We here at Critical Pictures are big fans of George Lucas, and so in tribute to him, we're announcing the Operation R.E.L.P Trilogy Special Editions! Hollywood's moved on from elaborate and life-like models and puppets, and we've got to keep up with the times, so we've gone back and digitally replaced Scooby Doo with a CGI render in every scene of the films. ''

''We've also made some more changes. For example, in the upcoming Operation S.C.O.O.B.Y., Scooby Doo shoots the Kaiser, but he comes off as too much of a cold-blooded killer. But now in the Special Edition, the Kaiser shoots first, making Scooby's attack self-defence. ''As this was before the final film was finished, the script was incomplete. Understandably, this change has no relevance anymore.

''Aditionally, in the opening scene of R.E.L.P when Scooby is being carried to the gallows, we thought it would be emotionally engaging if Scooby was to struggle against his captors and yell out "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!", thus making the hallway scene far more engaging. ''This scene can be viewed here.

The films are on-track to be released online in the year 2069.

However, due to fan feedback, the project has been cancelled. On the subject, the Critical Pictures team said that "We have come to our senses and decided not to ruin our beloved films by making pointless changes and shoehorning modern technology into them."
