I was excited that there would be a Scooby-Doo movie this year. After WBD canceled Scoob Holiday Haunt. Not only that but another Halloween movie.
The movie is getting attention just because it has gay representation. When true Scooby-Doo fans know Velma already had a girlfriend in the end of Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated.
As someone who saw all the movies with his nieces and looks forward to a new one every time. They started going down hill when the movies became about Velma debunking the mysteries that had real monsters “like Zombie Island or 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.”
Story wise and animation wise this one takes some getting used to compared to the other movies. Since I think it is a Guess Who Scooby-Doo movie due to the same animation style. When I am not a huge fan of that show and think even the under-rated Be Cool Scooby-Doo was far superior.
Story wise it is different with Mystery Inc. bored after they capture the mastermind like Bond villain who makes all the monster costumes for the bad guys. Who’s name is Coco and who Velma has a crush on.
Halloween wise Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo was a better Halloween movie. Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo is too goofy to be one of my favorite ones. Though it does have some good music choices I admit.
They need more like Zombie Island “the first, not Return to Zombie Island”, Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost and the under-rated Goblin King one. So yeah you can say the late 90’s movies to late 2000 ones were my favorites.
