Scooby-Doo! Un verano espeluznante

Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare (2010)

*** (out of 4)

Fred takes the gang back to his childhood camp where they're going to be councilors for the summer. However, once they arrive they learn that a ghost and a lake monster are stalking the place so they must try and learn what's really going on. SCOOBY-DOO! CAMP SCARE works on many levels but the highlight is without question the darker elements, which make it a throwback to the original series. You can tell that the writers were trying to return the series back to its origins and for the most part they did a very good job. This is especially true in regards to the villains, both of whom are just like you'd expect to see in the first few seasons of the series. The ghost, a tall ghoul that carries an axe, is perfectly brought to life and is quite memorable with the way he stalks the woods. The lake monster, an obvious homage to the Gil Man from CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, is also fun and especially during the scene where the gang are out on boats and come under attack. The animation is also extremely good with some wonderful details. Some of my favorite moments happen when the characters are gathered around a beautiful camp fire that lights up the woods around them. The main characters are all in fine form with the vocal actors doing a very good job with their roles. Then there's the added humor that's brought into the film. Usually some of the later day features had too much comedy but that's not the case here as it pretty much stays in the background but whenever it's brought to the front it's usually very funny. There's also some rather fun moments dealing with Velma being the one getting hit on and not Daphne. Speaking of Daphne, I couldn't help but notice that they really tried to "sexy" her up with the tight short shorts and bikini shots. Apparently one of the animators had a major crush on her.

Throughout my experience in cinema, I have never had the pleasure of viewing a motion picture nor an animation of this caliber. I have spent years looking for the best film, and I must tell you that I have never experienced 77 minutes as good as these, possibly even in my life. The developing of the both and the character makes this the one of if not the best films you will ever have the opportunity of viewing. The plot was beautifully written by an amazing director, the shocking twist to reveal the villain. The beautiful animation of this film is not to be overlooked either, the smooth transitions very much surprised me. Overall this is the best film I have ever seen, and above all I beg you to watch this. Scooby Doo: Camp Scare consists of 77 minutes of pure perfection.

After rewatching it again tonight, Camp Scare reminded me why it's my favorite animated Scooby-Doo of all time and one of my all time favorite movies, period. The mystery is legitimately complex and realistic, and the chase scenes and bad guys are actually thrilling. It is funny, and the characters are far better developed than in the older movies. One of my favorite parts is the animation - the various camp visuals were gorgeous, and I love the animations of the characters. The twist is a truly excellent one, and it is just such an excellent movie that modernizes and perfectly executes all the things that make the movies and shows so enjoyable.

Is there a story? Who cares! The story is inconsistent - not when it comes to jiggle physics -, but the jokes land a moderate amount, thus it is sufferable.

PS: anyone complaining Velma being considered an "ugly one" please remind yourself that Daphne can not catch a boyfriend even if her life depends on it, so duh, what's the difference between the two? Both gets jiggle physics, so stop comlaining!

I've always loved Scooby-doo & the gang & like most grew up watching it from little & some of the best Scooby-doo movies ever are the Classic's "Zombie Island" & "The Witches Ghost" from the 90's but there's been plenty of good one's but those two are proper Classic's of the Scooby-doo franchise & now definitely "Camp Scare" is one of the "New" best Scooby-doo films out there!!!

What i loved about "Camp Scare" is the beautiful animation & the Awesome 1980's Camp Site Slasher vibe & atmosphere it has, felt like "Friday the 13th" & "The Burning" in it's look & feel & that is just so Awesome to take that fun Slasher tone & put our Mystery gang right in the middle of it.

The Camp site & Cabin setting with the forests all around & the big beautiful lake is all done beautifully & looks amazing, stunning animation & the film is simply alot of summertime fun.

Fred Jones brings the gang to his old Camp site where he was a Camp Councillor for kids who go to summer camp but it's very run down now & time hasn't been good to the place & since Fred's fun days there's been a scary woodsman type of monster tormenting the land & carries a big axe!!! This is a menacing creature that has become a Mythical figure of the place & the source of many Camp fire spooky tales but who is he? & is he really real? & why does he stalk to area? Plenty of questions in this fun little Horror Mystery.

There's other characters that come into it including a bunch of misfit kids who have been dropped off for summer camp & who Fred & the gang are looking after & some fun voice work from the legendary MARK HAMILL!!!! This is definitely one of the best of the latest Scooby-doo films, it has such a fun summertime mood & plays out like a watered-down 80's Slasher flick for kids & i loved it for that.

Great fun & stunning animation.
