Viaggio ad Altrove: Scooby-Doo! incontra Leone il Cane Fifone

I'm willing to bet others, like myself, sought out this film for Courage. Well I'm certainly not disappointed as this film acts like a loving tribute and a good series finale for it.

Even though this is also a Scooby-Doo movie, the two groups of characters work well off each other and the voice cast give their performances like they're having fun with it.

In the third act, it's all for the Courage fans. I won't say here as hopefully you'll be shocked as I was to see who shows up.

I'm also willing to bet the writers only made this a crossover with Scooby-Doo so that it could get made as they were probably hesitant about a stand-alone Courage project, after the CGI short in 2014. But I'm glad they did.

Good crossover, great tribute, awesome finale to one of my favorite cartoons growing up.

RIP Thea White, making this her final film.

I was most anticipated for this crossover but at the same time a bit hesitant. Courage the Cowardly Dog is my favorite cartoon ever but without the involvement of its creator John R Dilworth seemed a bit disheartening. Not to mention the straight-to-video Scooby Doo films lately have had less effort than the stuff that used to come out back in the day. I am however satisfied to say this crossover mostly delivered.

While the story is honestly nothing that special, its the interactions between the two shows main characters that makes this worth watching. It's so fun to see everyone (minus Eustace) get along with each other especially Scooby and courage who feel like long-lost brothers. Add shaggy to the mix & you get a trio of scaredy cats running from everything in sight. It was just so great to see courage do the hallway doors gag with them. While most the movie is trying to solve a mystery like the Scooby-Doo formula it still mostly respects courage's as well. One thing that really worried me was that they were gonna debunk courage's more supernatural foes as ordinary baddies in masks like they've been doing but luckily they don't. The supernatural element is still very much there & the mystery gang are oblivious to it. Not to mention when the mystery is uncovered at the end and you find out whose behind it it put a big smile on my face. Although there's no freaky scary moments which is what courage is remembered for there are maybe a couple moments that can be pretty terrifying for younger kids. The voice cast for both sides are excellent. Frank Welker, Grey Griffin, and Matthew Lillard still do their roles as well as always. Velma's current voice actor Kate Micucci however im not a fan of. Just sounds like a female Steve Urkel. Marty Grabstein returns as courage & hasnt lost his touch after all this time. Thea White voices Muriel one final time before her death & shes also still great. I swear Muriel Bagg rivals Winnie the Pooh as the nicest cartoon character ever. Eustace is now voiced by Jeff Bergman due to the previous two voice actors passing away long ago & while its abit different he gets the job done voicing the grumpy greedy old fart.

As for negatives the movie feels a bit too padded out. Supposedly it was originally going to be just an episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who which probably wouldve been a better idea. There's one sequence in the movie where they go to a mansion and it just feels like its there just to show off a bunch of Courage fan service. Another negative is they try to give a reason for all the strange encounters courage had in his show and it's pretty unnecessary and honestly doesn't make too much sense. Also Eustace raps............yep you heard that right Eustace Bagg raps!

Though not perfect my expectations for this movie was better than I expected. Both shows get represented equally and it's just so fun watching their scenarios mixed together. 2021 gave me 2 crossovers I thought I'd never see in my life, the other being Spider-Man No Way Home.

While the 2021 animated movie "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" does follow the archetypical formula of how they make a "Scooby-Doo" adventure, then writer Michael Ryan actually does manage to do this crossover cartoon in a very fulfilling and entertaining way.

The storyline was enjoyable and definitely mixed elements of the two animated franchises together in a good way, and in a way that will please fans of both or either franchise. So thumbs up on that achievement. I found the storyline to be fun and enjoyable, as did my 11 year old son.

The animation and art style in "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" was good, and it is always a blast to sit down and watch these "Scooby-Doo" movies as they are a trip down memory lane, but while keeping today's touch to it as well.

This being an animated movie, of course having a great voice acting ensemble is very important. And I will say that they definitely had that for "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog". Lots of returning talents to do the voices, so there is a good sense of familiarity and continuity to this animated movie.

I sat down to watch "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" with my family, and there was something enjoyable for all ages to be had here. And that makes "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" well-worth sitting down to watch. So thumbs up to director Cecilia Aranovich on that accomplishment.

My rating of "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Finally saw this for free on TV. Wanted to watch it at Halloween time & frankly didn't want to buy it to watch once because I figured it'd be a mixed bag. The special was hit and miss. Hearing Thea White again (for the last time) as Muriel hit the feels for sure. Grabstein was good returning to Courage. Eustace...Jeff Bergman didn't quite do it for me most of the time. And what was with that random rap scene? The writing in this doesn't always flow so well either. The explanation for monsters in Nowhere is interesting but kind of falls to the wayside. Glad I saw it- probably won't watch again.

Cute crossover, the 90's kids have been waiting for this one, I just feel like it could have been made a little "spookier". Out of all those creepy creatures and ghouls from both Scooby and Courage, you chose an ugly bug as the main villain???? Also some scenes were very dumb (like the canyon chase one).

It's not a terrible movie, but it is definitely a missed opportunity.
