Scooby-Doo em Hollywood

This was one of about barely 8 VHS I actually had in the 90s as a kid for some reason, and it was probably my introduction to this whole series oddly. Nothing but great memories and laughs at the absurdity of it all.

I really cannot fathom what the writers were thinking on this one. Few movies reach this level of crossover failure like Star Wars Holiday Special. It's a hodge-podge of rehashed Three Stooges, clips of older episodes, and Snoopy Come Home. I believe they were trying to see if Scooby would ever work without monsters, mystery and for the most part, the rest of the gang. The only audience I can think of that might enjoy this is perhaps a 3-year old who likes the dog but finds regular Doo too scary. Even still, they would get none of the supposed 'jokes' referring to old campy tv shows.

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

I have no idea what could have possessed a writer to come up with this intoxicating mixture of Scooby-Doo and Hollywood parody. Well... I guess it was the 70s!... The idea is that Scooby quits his Saturday morning show in pursuit of more challenging roles and box office success helped by Shaggy, his trusty side-kick. This was inspired by those awful cartoons in the 40s in which Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd act like real actors even talking to Mr. Warner - their boss!!! In the same awfully unfunny way, Shaggy and Scooby barge into the Studio Director's office in order to show him samples of their work which parodies westerns and stupid 70s musicals (like Saturday Night Fever).

In the end of all this Scooby(after messing up everything he tried to do) is convinced by hordes of children chanting "Scooby-Doo, we need you!" to go back to his regular show.

After watching this very stupid attempt at a longer animated Scooby-Doo film, the viewer is convinced the awfull jokes in the Scooby-Doo show aren't really that bad and is actually looking forward to a line like "If it hadn't been for you pesky kids..."

Maybe it was OK in the 70s if there was nothing else on (ut it was the only DVD we saw for Scooby that was bad) The rest of them are great rentals, but this one was a horrific flashback of the duller years for me and a regular bore for the kids.

The entire show is about Scooby trying to play other roles, like on Happy Days, and every one he does ends up with him crashing into something. It is also a wanna be musical, with no real plot and certainly no mystery.

I can't believe they bothered to put this on DVD! If you want to rent a great Scooby movie, get anything else first!!!! Even Harlem globe trotters is Academy material compared to this one.
