What happens

Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword is a 2009 American animated comedy mystery martial arts film, as well as the thirteenth entry in a series of direct-to-video animated films based on the Scooby-Doo franchise. In the United States, the DVD sold over 163,890 units in its first week and as of January 2014, it has sold approximately over 524,725 units. This is the last direct-to-video Scooby-Doo film to use the brighter lighting and art visual style keen to the What's New, Scooby-Doo? TV series, making it the last What's New, Scooby-Doo? related production. It was also the last Scooby-Doo production to feature Casey Kasem as the voice of Shaggy before his retirement as the character in 2010 and death in 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
