Scoubidou et les Extra-terrestres

It's the another masterpiece Scooby doo Movie. With Some new creatures.

I was initially just expecting this 2000 "Scooby-Doo" animated movie to be a run-of-the-mill archetypical one in the bunch of all the other animated stories. But still, as I hadn't already seen it, of course I opted to watch it.

And color me impressed. Writers Davis Doi, Glenn Leopold and Lance Falk put together one of the better stories and plots that I have seen in the many, many "Scooby-Doo" animated movies that I have seen. I was genuinely surprised with the writing and the plot in "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders". And I have to admit that I was pleasantly entertained throughout the course of the 74 minutes that the animated movie ran for.

The voice acting in "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" was good, though it was not the familiar voices of the more recent animated movies. But there were some familiar voices here and there, with the likes of Frank Welker, Mark Hamill and Kevin Michael Richardson.

The animation and art style in "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" is good, and it is the familiar style used in the franchise. So that definitely adds to the overall enjoyment of the animated movie.

If you enjoy "Scooby-Doo" animated movies or series, then you definitely have to sit down and watch the 2000 "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders". It was nice to see a plot that broke the usual formula with the ending.

My rating of director Jim Stenstrum's 2000 animated movie "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders (2000)

*** (out of 4)

Fast and fun feature has Scooby, Shaggy and the gang breaking down in the desert so they walk to the nearest town where they hear about strange lights and cattle missing. Soon the gang is going up against some alien invaders and this is where the mystery begins. SCOOBY-DOO AND THE ALIEN INVADERS is certainly an entertaining little film that offers up a pretty good mystery, a nice story and certainly some very funny moments throughout. I think this one benefits from a short (71-minutes) running time and the fact that it really doesn't have any boring moments or down time. I think the best thing about the film are the actual aliens. I thought the animation throughout the entire thing was extremely good but the look of the aliens was quite good and it was a joy whenever they were in action. Another major plus is that the mystery itself is good. This here certainly isn't going to win any Scooby Snacks for greatness but I found it easy to get caught up in solving the mystery. The vocal work by all was good as usual and this here even threw in some romance with Shaggy and Scooby. The film's best critic was my three-year-old who was constantly having laughing fits throughout the picture. He was obviously having a blast with it. He loves everything Scooby but I've never seen him react so positively to a film.

Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders is something that is very different from the other Scooby-Doo films I've ever seen. The reason is that this one has the love stories of Shaggy and Scooby. Before I've watched this one, normally, what I always see is the love story of Daphne, Fred and even Velma's, I've seen. But I've never seen Shaggy's in love and also Scooby. Until this one, I always wondered what's gonna be like if Shaggy fell in love. In this one, I got the answer to that question.

The way Shaggy falls in love is somehow cute, but also, somehow disgusting. But cute part is more. So, I'd say it's still OK. It's just sad to see that their loves flew away. Literally, they flew away into space. Shaggy and Scooby are left on earth. It's really kind of terrible and sad. I really want them to be together.

What I love is that Shaggy is still OK with her even though he knows the truth about her. And also, Scooby. The last scene of their love stories is really touchable and it's so sad. I really pity them. On the other hand, I really don't like Velma's voice artist. Her voice is small and a bit sharp to listen. I really like that nowadays, they always choose the ones with deep voice for Velma character. I feel like it's the best. So, Velma's voice artist's voice is kind of annoying. Somehow, I couldn't even listen that much. Thus, if they have chosen the other voice artist, it'd be better.

All in all, Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders needs things to improve. I feel like it's kind of boring. I watched this one a few days ago. At that time, I had to stop watching for a while. Last night, I continued to watch, but last night, it was just after I've finished my dinner, so, I wanted to sleep. Thus, I stopped watching. Just this afternoon, I watched again and finally, I've finished it. Hence, I'd say, it's a bit boring that I couldn't finish it in one sit. That being said, it's still OK because it can give the audience a different view and various feelings. And so, to conclude this review, although it's a little bit boring, it's kind of enjoyable.

I loved this movie, when it came out, and despite one or two minor flaws, it is like a trip down Memory Lane. The animation is faultless, and i loved the music in the opening credits, with the planets, totally relevant to the title of the film. The voice talents, as is usually the case with the Scooby movies, save a couple of exceptions are excellent, a notable standout being Mark Hamill as Steve. Jeff Bennett was also really entertaining as Lester, and I loved the constant fighting over the Scooby snacks. The plot, overall was good, not the best, but those aliens to a young child are pretty scary. My only complaints are the sweet but rather soppy love song in the diner, and although I liked the romance between Shaggy and Crystal, it got a little distracting from the plot. All in all, I really liked it, and I hope it has a decent rating like Witch's Ghost and Goblin King. 8/10 Bethany Cox
