Scrappy-Doo is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. He is a Great Dane puppy created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1979 and the nephew of Scooby-Doo[1][2] in various incarnations of the Scooby-Doo cartoon series.[3][4] Lennie Weinrib provided his voice for one season in 1979, and from 1980 on it was performed by Don Messick (who also voiced Scooby). In the first live-action theatrical film, video games, and commercials, he was voiced by Scott Innes, and portrayed by Rowan Atkinson when disguised as Mondavarious.

He was created to save the show's ratings which by 1979 had begun to sink to the point of cancellation threats from ABC, who were considering choosing between Scooby-Doo and an unnamed pilot[5][non-primary source needed] from Ruby-Spears Enterprises which Mark Evanier had also written.[6]
