Scooby and the gang are invited to Veracruz, Mexico, by Fred's pen friend to celebrate a local tradition. As usual, they encounter a big, scary monster, El Chupacabra, who scares of all tourists and threatens the Otero's business. So once again, they must investigate and finally elucidate the mystery to help their new friends in need.It's a Scooby Doo movie (like a normal episode, only longer) which manages to be funny, entertaining, quite complex featuring a classic Scooby Doo plot. I enjoyed it a lot, especially it's musical sequences which bring special moments to a new level. It's a good movie but nothing groundbreaking. Enjoy it Scooby Doo fans!
... View MoreThe opening song was worth it. It really was. Actually, the music as a whole was worth it.And some of the jokes were fully even if one or two of them may have bordered on blatant stereotypes, but in a harmless way.It starts off strong. It starts off like an old episode of Scooby Doo...it just sort of ends with a "meh." In fact, what kills it is that one can walk away and forget how it ended by the time you get done using the bathroom.But the first half is memorable and the songs are catchy, so it's a wash.
... View MoreThis movie had a lot going for it. The voice cast, sound effects and smoother animation felt more like the original Scooby Doo and I appreciated the classic feel. I really liked that Scott Innes was not voicing Shaggy. Velma is good for relating some good Mexican history. The behind-the-scenes, blooper reel and cast commentary on the DVD are great! There were definitely parts where the plot was interesting and a lot of vintage Shaggy/Scooby comedy that made us all laugh.That being said, the plot didn't hold together very well for me. Somewhere in the middle, things get a little TOO confusing and far-fetched, even for Scooby. The story seems to slow down and then jump ahead making the movie lurch along awkwardly. Daphne's voice seems slow and... old! The dialog really dragged in parts. The extra characters didn't have much personality or add interest to the movie, they were just... there.Overall the movie was OK and my kids enjoy it now and then. Not the greatest... but pretty good.
... View MoreThis movie really get people dancing. Scooby and the gang are heading out to Mexico. Where there will be a Fiesta, that gets spoiled by a chupacabra(Goat sucker). To me, this creature resemble the Jaguaro, and I think they oughta done better. The adventure beings all good, and nothing seems to be lost in every way. A little lady dog seem to have eyes for Scooby. However, any lady dog will take Scooby seriously. The other cast like Charlene was a shady character from the beginning. She was always spilling the beans, coffee beans to be exact. And the robot characters in the theme park had all the tourists fooled. When everything went well, it was back to the fiesta, and who would know that Shaggy would take the lead. Just like any other Scooby-Doo cartoon, this movie is still the gem. You can learn some Spanish, solve along with the gang, and eat. I don't care what the critics think, I enjoyed this movie from day one! Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars.
