Scooby-Doo y el rey de los duendes

A part of me wants to love this. It really seems like they were trying to return to the old school Scooby Doo feel. The look was very New Scooby Doo Movies. Even the cover felt like the Scooby Doo everyone grew up with.

So, it really felt like they were throwing us old Scooby fans one massive cherry.

But then, it was really only Shaggy and Scooby and they can't carry it alone any longer, the movies are about Mystery Inc and the whole Scooby Gang and you feel robbed when they are paid that much lip service...

And then the plot never came together.

It felt too much like they were trying too hard to appeal to us old Scooby Fans and not hard enough to appeal to the people that came to love Scooby from these movies.

No, seriously, I really think that a Scooby-Doo movie going after a musical genre is a really good change of pace. Sure, it may not be as good as Zombie Island, and it may not live up as a Halloween musical classic the same way The Nightmare Before Christmas did, but it's still not bad for a beginner. The Halloween creatures are a big plus; they're absolutely creepy. Some of the musical numbers might need a little work, but at least they're something that you can't walk out on. But, man! Oh, man! I can never get over that ending! I'm not gonna tell you though; it'll just spoil the surprise. The bottom line: it's a delight for the whole family, especially if you're a Scooby-Doo fan.

Zoinks! Like, ruh roh, Raggy, don't rook now, but just when you were about to ask "where are you" there's a reaky new Scooby Doo movie available on rideo. Yeah, reaky. Gulp. And in this one, the whacked out warlock isn't just a guy wearing a mask. Heh heh heh. Like, no way man, but this wunnerful creepy old time animation is completely on the mark and ten times as fun as th-th-th-the rive action Scooby Doo movies. Like,trust me, old friend, old buddy, old pal, there are even a bunch of scary moments that will make you rump off your chair. Boing! There is also a runch of musical numbers. I especially liked the one that went romething like "Woararoarawoararoarawoar." Yikes! The kids will love the Goblin King, and the adults will laugh at the inside rokes: "Oh no! Velma's fried!" or "Now that is something you just do not do to a guy's van." Why do I get the feeling this one should have been on the big screen? Way to go old Scooby Dooby movie makers. You should totally rent Scooby Dooooby Dooooo and the Goblin King: jeepers, maybe there's food inside the box.

I really enjoyed this movie. There were lots of laughs when Scooby and Shaggy got scared. Shaggy's hair would stand up and their faces would show distorted fear.

The animation was great. There was lightning and flash animation when characters would change in to monsters or back to themselves. The flashing of colors and the characters transformation is stunning.

The music was good too with the monsters singing and performing in a band. A skeleton on keyboard and more.

This is one of the better Scooby Doos. Not a lot of violence. Just a lot of running, flying on a broom and dodging goblins.

Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Frank Welker as Scooby and Freddie, Grey DeLisle, Mindy Cohn, Jay Leno, Lauren Bacall, James Belushi and more.

Well worth watching.

I had mixed feelings on this one 1) Having Jim Belushi, Jay Leno, Wayne Knight, Lauren Bacall, Wallace Shawn and "witches ghost" return of Tim Curry was a plus. Oh to hear Tim's laugh!!!! 2) The fairies, pumpkin, and broom picked up things when the story was dragging. 3) The story was mostly Shaggy and Scooby who couldn't carry it alone. 4) The songs were mostly forgettable. 5) the attempt to return to old style Scooby Doo was a plus 6) The story didn't really care to follow the plot and became a series of unconnected scenes. The end seemed rushed 7) The lack of Velma was deafening. 8) Daphne getting wet was unforgivable :-) At the end of the day, it was fun to watch but forgettable after a few days.
