Amanda Seyfried on Sharing the Scooby-Doo Experience With Her Daughter

Hi. Good. How are you doing?

Pretty good. Yeah. Hanging in.

What's your favorite thing that you've been doing at home recently?

Oh, boy. My favorite thing? Yeah. It's so wrong to say that I just love to crochet. No, I've always been obsessed with it, but like just, it's just still my favorite thing to do. It's just nothing's changed. I should, I should say like dressing up in dresses with my daughter, which is my second favorite thing to do. But my first favorite thing to do is

That's okay. We like it. Honestly, you're having a best time. You're having a best time. I know. And I'm glad that you mentioned your daughter because I had a couple questions about her. With Scoob coming out, where you play Daphne in the movie. I recently heard, which it really stuck with me that you were excited for her to see the film because you think that she'll really relate and have it in her life forever seeing Daphne. I think why is that so special for you to have that for her?

Um, well, you know, I, I, I related to each character. Um, I connected to each that each of them so much when I was a kid. It was such a big deal for me to feel to watch a show about ghost stories and and, you know, solving mysteries with these amazing, amazing group of friends who dress very bizarrely to me. Um, and I think it's gonna be amazing that she's gonna have that same experience. But also that I can there's something very familiar to her about it, which is Daphne's voice.

Right, because I was gonna say, does she understand that, that's her mom?

Um, she understands. Yeah, she, it's like so She hasn't seen the movie yet. She hasn't seen, like she saw another animated movie. We're gonna watch it on Friday. We're doing a big Scoob screening night. But we, um, movie night. But but the other animated movie, she's like, yeah, that's that's you, that's your voice. But she can get lost in the story too. Yeah. So I don't know they, she's only three, so she can compute that differently in a simpler way than I think, you know, as, as you get older, you, you would, but yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be really nice to to have her begin her journey with the Scooby Doo gang with this movie and with me, that's so special. That's why I had to do it. Like I animated movies are really hard. They're much harder than live action.

Yeah. What do you think the coolest thing about Daphne is?

Oh, God, she's, um, such a good listener. I think that's a superpower. I think not enough people listen, know how to listen well. Like really take in what someone else is saying and completely taking themselves away. I think it's I think we need more of that and I, um, and she's just good at that. I think they all are, but really That's my favorite thing about her. And also, she's just so positive. She doesn't she's very gentle. You know, when she's with animals, you know, the way she interacts with with others is just something very I don't know, beautiful about it.

And real quick before we go, what's your favorite flavor of the Scooby Snacks?

Um, yeah. Scooby Snacks in the booth every time and I would like steal bags after I left because they're so good. They're cookies, um, they're like cinnamon honey and cinnamon honey cinnamon or something. Yeah. Those are all really good. Not a gummy person.

Thank you so much for talking to us today about Daphne. We can't wait to see you

anytime. I know. I'm excited for Friday. I'm excited.
