Scoubidou et la Cyber Traque

That was a groovy ride through the years of Scooby Doo. So much nostalgia from the original series and the best of Is that It made perfect sense storywise to have It be such a big part of the story. A perfect blend for fans that grew up with the orinal series and those growing up with the newer one.

The after credits scene was a nice touch and shouldn't be missed.

Say what you want, I have been watching Scoob and the gang since it first aired (1966). I enjoy them all and this Chase through the past was written with an eye for long time fans and the gentle self-aware comedy we've come to love. The gang's whiz-kid friend has invented a computer game based on the antics of Mystery, Inc.(s) past cases. However a wicked game virus has been created by one of four possible suspects. When the gang is sucked into the Scooby game they must battle villains and the Virus on each level to get out. Along the way we are treated to the B-52s singing the signature theme, Roman warriors, Dinosaurs and the original monsters they fought in the first three seasons. Only this time -- they're not men in masks either. The real treat is when the gang meets themselves from the original show. (They are the actual characters in the game)Kudos for the mystery itself too. Fun clues are laid out for the ardent observer. This video marks the first of the new Scooby Movies that does not have Mary Kay Bergman voicing the red-haired beauty. Miss Bergman passed on about a year ago. Her voice is missed. The film is dedicated to William Hanna who also past away recently. If you're 5 - 14 or just a Scooby fan you will love this film!! A Scooby Snack for the eyes!!.........

Cross Neuromancer with In the Mouth of Madness, add a little bit of Tron, Terminator, and set it in the Scooby-Doo universe and you pretty much have the basis for Cyber Chase.

The Mystery Inc. gang go visit a college friend who has made a video game based on their exploits. But instead of enjoying the novelty they are terrorized by an entity born of a computer virus who has entered the real world. The gang are beamed into their own video game (called Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase) and are forced to play through the levels in order to catch the virus (so to speak), eventually encountering their digital selves and digital versions of classic villains from the past. Sharp viewers will recognize Cyber-Shaggy's alternate costume from the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.

It's very clever, with loads of potential, most of which is not realized with the brisk run-time. At least you'll never get bored. It's certainly one of the most subversive and mind-bending Scooby adventures. A video game arcade featured towards the end of their titular Cyber Chase even features the Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase video game, thus making it self-referential meta-fiction within self-referential meta-fiction within self-referential fiction. Phew...get your head around that. And if that wasn't enough, it's the only Scooby-Doo animated feature to spawn its own real video game (for the PlayStation and Gameboy Advance), which would make that game self-referential fiction within...oh man, I'm getting dizzy.

Smart and tightly-written, Cyber Chase's lack of scope is the only thing preventing it from being a classic.

1st watched 12/23/2001 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Jim Stenstrum): Well done straight to video movie of the popular who-dun-it crew from Hanna/Barbera. This movie does not take away those things that made the series popular(the smartly created whodunit, the funny antics of Shaggy & Scooby and even the theme music is pretty much the same). Many times new movie versions of old popular series' s distract from the original fun, but this one doesn't. It even gives us opportunity to remember back when the new crew meet up with the old crew in the computer game and even bring back the old monsters in the old shows. Overall a good combination of the new and the old. Way to go Scooby rooby-roo !!

I like that these four direct-to-video SD movies feature real monsters. This was another enjoyale movie and Grey Griffin's debut as Daphne was great! Love this movie!
