Scooby-Doo! Du sang froid !

Chill Out, Scooby Doo! (2007)

** (out of 4)

Fred, Velma and Daphne are on vacation in Paris where they're supposed to meet Shaggy and Scooby. The only problem is that the two misfits end up in the Himalayas Mountains at the same time a mysterious snow creature has been spotted and it doesn't take long for everyone to meet. CHILL OUT, SCOOBY DOO! is one of the most boring features I've seen from the beloved dog and his gang, which is pretty shocking because the location and monster should have led to a much more entertaining film. Just to say how bad this one is, my son who absolutely loves everything Scooby pretty much tuned this one out after about twenty-minutes and it was a real chore trying to get him to finish it. There are all sorts of problems here but the biggest is that the filmmakers turn Scooby and Shaggy into a couple of idiots. Yes, the series and feature movies have always gotten laughs out of them but the attempt at humor was just so forced and so over-the-top that I couldn't help but get annoyed at it. The supporting laughs with the rest of the gang also fall flat and in the end there's really nothing funny to be seen here. The snow monster was a plus as it looked terrific and the Himalayas were a terrific location but it's just too bad more wasn't done with it. The original series had an episode called "That's Snow Ghost," which is the thing you should check out over this feature.

this Scooby DOO movie is one of the coolest Scooby Doo movies ever created on earth by Warner Brothers and did they do a super job on this wonderful movie that is a 3 out of 4 star movie for sure i think you will enjoy this wonderful snowy movie that will warm your hart for sure it is one of the coolest movies ever created i hope you enjoy this number 1 Scooby DOO movie because it is full of laughs if you like Scoooby DOO movies than you will enjoy this movie that will make you say wow now we need to watch that again or if you don't have it you may want to buy it that is how good this movie is i think that after it is over you will never want it to end that is how good this movie is i hope you enjoy this wonderful movie i hope you enjoy everyone it is on TV every 2 months it should be rated PG or PG13 for cartoon action mild violence mild action and rude hummer but i like it the way it is i never watched anything like this i just hope you enjoy it as much as i did everyone enjoy

This movie is amazing. I enjoyed it so much. This movie is the foundation of my very being. Without it, I would probably crumble into in existence. Once again, Scooby Doo makes perfection.

OK, the start is pretty hysterical, from how everyone ends up where they do to the NOA knock off weather station bucking for a Howlin' Wolfman Rock and Roll DJ with about 12 listeners total. And all with a throwback character from Loch Ness and that always feels like a nod to Scooby fans.

Respect.

But, unfortunately, it has one of those strong starts and one of those endings that are so weak you can't even remember who the villain was after fifteen minutes.

What was that? Right, totally unmemorable.

But it is a cartoon, and the first half is funny enough to love, so who cares if it finishes weak?

I sat down here in 2020 to watch "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!" from 2007 with my 10 year old son, as he enjoys the "Scooby-Doo" animated movie quite a bit. And since we hadn't already seen this 2007 animated movie, we found the time to catch up with it.

And I must say that "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!" was definitely an enjoyable animated movie. Sure, it was basically and essentially the same as every single other "Scooby-Doo!" adventure. But isn't that part of the charm?

The animation in "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!" was good, and the drawing style too. It is great that they keep holding on to the traditional and classic drawing style that we grew up with. It keeps a sense of familiarity to the franchise.

As an animated movie, having a proper voice cast ensemble can make or break an animated movie. And luckily they had put together a good crew for voicing the various characters in "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!". With the likes of Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Mindy Cohn and Grey Griffin to do the core characters. But "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!" also have such great and noteworthy voices of Rene Auberjonois, James Hong and Alfred Molina on the cast list.

It was actually interesting the way they opted to keep the mystery of the yeti - aka. abominable snowman - at the end of this animated movie. That was definitely something I enjoyed.

If you enjoy the "Scooby-Doo!" animated movies and adventures, then the 2007 "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!" is definitely a must watch, because it is an archetypical "Scooby-Doo!" movie, for better or worse. I am rating it a six out of ten stars.
