Scooby-Doo! Le Chant du vampire

I have somehing with the song "Done with monsters" which has been sung by the gang while they were going to the vacation, I mean, I can't get it out of my mind anymore. That song is the thing that should NOT be. Honestly, the movie wasn't that bad, but this song was.

In my honest opinion, then the 2012 "Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire" animated movie wasn't the brightest of moments in the Scooby-Doo franchise. Why is that? Well, personally I didn't care much for the musical element that was introduced here. It was just forced and didn't really have a natural place in the cartoon that various characters would spontaneously break out into song in often odd moments.

Without going too deep into the storyline, I will just briefly summarize it here. Scooby-Doo and the gang go to Little Bat village for a vacation after their last solved mystery, as Velma wants to visit the local Vampire Festival. Meeting up with Vincent Van Helsing, what was supposed to be a quiet vacation turns into another mystery as it turns out that some vampire imitators summon forth an ancient vampire by the name of Valdronya.

It should be said that the storyline was good, and the storyline itself was actually quite up to level with other animated Scooby-Doo movies. But it was just a shame that it was cut short by the musical elements.

The animation and drawing style in the cartoon was good, and it had that unique Scooby-Doo feeling that we all love. And being an animated movie, then the voice acting is alpha and omega, and I will say that the talents they had on for the voice acting was good, and they were doing great jobs with their respective characters. It is always a treat to have Matthew Lillard voicing Shaggy and Frank Welker voicing Scooby-Doo.

"Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire" certainly does have a place in the Scooby-Doo franchise, but it just wasn't one of the stronger pillars in the franchise.

The gang solves another mystery. The sewer adventure is too much for most of the team and Velma decides that everybody needs a vacation. She takes them to a town in the bayou founded by a Van Helsing. It's Vampire Palooza. The girls are eager to meet the author of Silverlight. Vincent Van Helsing's old fashion vampire book is not selling. Fangenschanz is a vampire themed performers. A seemingly real vampire is on the loose which attracts media attention and helps liven up the failing festival.

The new animation style is fine although the colors are a bit too glossy. The greens are radioactive. I like the opening adventure in the sewers. I like the new adventure setup. A couple of plot elements do annoy me. I don't like Daphne as the damsel in distress. Daphne should be more than the girlie girl of the group. Along with being scared of roaches, it gets too stereotypical. I would also the group to have more time together solving the mystery. It's the best part of the group's chemistry. That's why I like the opening so much. Overall, this is pretty good but it's not a classic.

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.

Tired of Cummings voice already. His character is disgusting & annoying. No Micucci to voice Velma, thank god. Dracula is a romantic story, always has been. Lately Hollywood has beend ragging it badly in the mud. Langella & Lugosi were perfect Draculas. They has the sensualness that goes with it. This one leans more towards Nosferatu so it kind of reminds you of Max Schreck being back again after quite an absence. The music is good, some of the songs are annoying but hey just fast forward. Nice to watch like some of the others but will obviously never beat the old or the originals. Still no one's voice expect Cummings is genuinely irritating.
