Scooby-Doo! Blue Falcon, le retour

My daughter and I recently enjoyed Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon (2012) on MAX. The plot follows Scooby and Shaggy's journey to a California convention featuring Blue Falcon memorabilia. A ghastly ghoul resembling Mr. Hyde emerges, threatening convention guests. Can Scooby and Shaggy channel their inner Blue Falcon to save the day?

Directed by Michael Goguen (Batman: The Brave and the Bold), the film features the voices of Frank Welker (Transformers: Dark of the Moon), Mindy Cohn (The Facts of Life), Grey Griffin (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), and Matthew Lillard (Scream).

This is a magical addition to the Scooby universe with a delightful animation style, enjoyable settings, and character depictions. The voices align perfectly with the characters, and the villain, Mr. Hyde, is particularly entertaining. The story unfolds with fun twists, turns, and a satisfying ending reveal.

In conclusion, Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon is a must-watch for Scooby-Doo fans. I would give it a 6/10 and strongly recommend it.

This is another entertaining enough 'Movie' that sees the gang going to a comic convention, and a mystery of course then developing.

These 'original movie's' that Warner Brothers churn out to DVD are hit and miss affairs, but this one on the whole is good fun, with Matthew Lillard and Fred Welker on good form as Shaggy and Scooby. I didn't like what they did to the character of Velma though.

While not spectacular, this is a decent Scooby outing.

Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon (2012)

*** (out of 4)

Entertaining feature has the gang traveling to a comic convention so that Scooby and Shaggy can meet the original actor who played the Blue Falcon. Soon Mr. Hyde shows up and starts destroying everything in sight and clues make one think that it's the original actor who is upset over Hollywood's new movie, which was made without him. SCOOBY-DOO! MASK OF THE BLUE FALCON is without question one of the more entertaining Scooby movies of recent years for a number of reasons. The biggest is that there are a lot of winks to earlier cartoons and not just Blue Falcon but there are also brief cameos from other famous characters. Most of them are in the form of fans dressing as the characters but these here are still a lot of fun and especially an appearance by Fred Flintstone. We even get a brief shot of Captain Caveman. Another reason this film works so well is that the story itself is actually pretty good. I thought the idea of an actor being upset that he's getting pushed aside by an update film was quite interesting and made for a fun adventure. Even the mystery itself was handled pretty well. The villain Mr. Hyde was another plus as he was great fun to root against. The vocal performances were all extremely good this time around with Matthew Lillard (Shaggy) and Frank Welker (Scooby, Fred) really standing out. The animation was also very good throughout. Fans of the old TV show or the new one will certainly enjoy this film as it has a good story, great characters and goes by at a very fast pace.

This movie is a treat for Scooby-Doo and cartoon fans alike. I found it funny and entertaining, with gorgeous animation and wonderful voice acting, most notably the Mystery Gang. Outside of Blue Falcon and Dynomutt there are countless other Hanna Barbara references, mostly in the form of fan costumes. From the more well known to the rather obscure, and some I surely missed. Look out for a blue version of Elektra from Teen Force / Space Stars!

This movie makes we wish WB would put more classic Hanna Barbara characters in their own animated adventures. I would love to see Dynomutt and BF in a classically animated movie, as well as for them to release the rest of the classic series.

Highly recommended!

Having grown up watching Scooby-Doo on weekend morning TV and having a son that loves Scooby-Doo as well, then it took no convincing of me to sit down and watch "Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" when my son asked me to watch it with him.

"Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is true to every other Scooby-Doo animated adventure, for better or worse. Sure, there is the familiarity aspect to it, but at the same time there is also something new, as it was quite nice to see superheroes make an appearance in a Scooby-Doo adventure.

The animation is good and the art style is very much in tune with the traditional art that defined Scooby-Doo ever since the early beginning.

As it always is with a Scooby-Doo animated movie, the voice acting is great, and they got a good ensemble of cast members to perform the voices of the various characters. It is always nice to have the familiar voices of Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle and Matthew Lillard in these movie.

There is an abundance of references and nods towards other Hanna-Barbera cartoons. And it was actually a fun way that they put them into this particular Scooby-Doo adventure.

"Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is definitely one of the better animated Scooby-Doo movies I have seen in a while.

My rating of "Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is 6 out of 10 stars.
