(March 25, 2004 – New York) – Zoinks! Warner Bros. Consumer Products held a “Doo Your Best Scooby” sound-a-like competition today at Toys “R” Us Times Square to help celebrate the debut of Warner Bros.

Shaina Dorow, a nine-year-old from Montclair, NJ was declared the top dog with her impersonation of Velma. At the event, a new Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine-themed Ferris Wheel gondola was unveiled on the incredible 60-ft. indoor Ferris Wheel, one of the most memorable attractions in Toys “R” Us Times Square. Grand prize winner, Shaina, and her family took the inaugural ride on the new Ferris Wheel cab. Additionally, children also had the opportunity to meet-and-greet Scooby-Doo and receive complimentary drawings from Tim Maltby, illustrator for Warner Bros. Animation’s television series “What’s New Scooby-Doo?,” currently airing on Kids’ WB! and Cartoon Network.
