Scooby-Doo! Le Chant du vampire

The whole concept of going to a Vampire Festival to get a break form monsters only to find monsters is classic Scooby Doo thinking.

Need a vacation from all the scary monster stuff? Then go to a monster festival, makes total sense...and fits brilliantly into the philosophy of the Scooby gang....sometimes you wonder if they don't do things like this just to torture Shaggy and Scooby.

It fits extremely well into the Scooby world, even down to the humor involved.

And the parody of the vampire story fad, is, of course, the only reason this installment was made. It brings the movies back to the Rice/King parodies in Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost...

...and the twist is fun...unfortunately that's where it dies and continues just long enough to turn what was potential into yet another lackluster conclusion.

It came VERY close to being one of the most solid Scooby Doo movies in the catalogue though. Certainly worth a purchase.

Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire (2011)

*** (out of 4)

Feature cartoon has Scooby and the gang solving a mystery and then heading down South to enjoy a vacation. They end up in Louisiana where there's a Vampire Fest being put on and sure enough they soon find themselves in another mystery. This time a vampire wants to make Daphne his new bride. SCOOBY-DOO! MUSIC OF THE VAMPIRE is actually a fairly entertaining film that manages to have a few good laughs, a couple nice throwbacks to the old TV show and of course there's even a little bit of TWILIGHT spoof thrown in. As you'd expect, the animation is really top-notch and we're given some wonderful visuals to look at. This is especially true with the darkness of the swamp, which simply looks wonderful as do the scenes inside the vampire museum. Another major plus is that the monsters themselves are all pretty good. I thought the vampires looked quite effective and especially the main leader who often finds himself flying through the swamps throwing fire balls. I'm sure these vampires will scare some really young kids as they're quite creepy. The vocal performances are also quite good with all of the main cast members doing a fine job and especially Matthew Lillard who has really perfected his Shaggy work. The film even turns into a musical as there are a couple songs played throughout and they're actually not too bad. They're certainly put to better use than some of those songs that were added to episodes in the second season of the original series. Fans of Scooby should certainly find enough here to keep them entertained and at just 75-minutes the film never overstays its welcome.

I don't usually like musicals. (too cliche). But I feel like even musical enjoyers wouldn't like this. The Songs are pretty bad. There are like 2 average songs and the rest are bad. And the musical theme takes away from the actual mystery. Vampire festival is a good setting but they don't do anything with it. There are the vampire performers who could've been good, but they don't do anything with them. The entrance lady was annoying. The sub-plot about the mayor guy was pointless. And the vampire looks really bad. But the worst part of the movie is...🥁🥁🥁 The fact that Shaggy and Scooby are split from the rest of the gang for like half the movie. There is NO MYSTERY, NO FUNNIES, NO THOUGHT PROCESS and NO SCOOBY SNACKS. NOT EVEN ONE! Getting on my nerves. Emoji Movie is better than this garbadge.

I don't know where Imdb got the description for this movie, because it's nowhere close to the plot. What it's really about is the gang heading to Little Bat Town for a bat-themed vacation after they get an invite from Vincent Van Helsing, a less than famous horror writer. During a performance from a vampire loving theatre troupe, it appears that the soul of a real undead bloodsucker has broken free from his coffin. With various clues and suspects lurking around it takes a while to solve this mystery. The overall plot was pretty good, but the music was a little overdone. It kind of seemed like a last-minute add-on to get people's attention and wasn't really necessary.

I don't know what it is about this film but it's amazing! Whenever I watch it and here the Bayou Breeze playing in the background, the nostalgia just comes back. It gives me chills just hearing it. Speaking of songs, the music was great. I found nothing wrong with any of the voices. It brought the movie to life. The plot was terrific along with the voice acting. The characters added such a nice touch to the movie and the movie just flows well. The main vampire was terrifying yet fun. Also, there were many times where I found myself laughing more than any other Scooby movie. Especially with Scooby and Shaggy. Overall, this movie is unforgettable and honestly the best one out of them all.
