SCOOBY DOO MOVIE MOVIE

It's the kind of decision that only emphasizes a disturbing creative truth inspired by this pandemic: whatever theater owners may say and however angry they may get, some movies probably don't need to stop in theaters first. nearly wanted to make a Lego version of Scooby-Doo but lost their nerve and went halfway there instead. And most of the animation has a similarly rough quality, as if Warner Bros. But watching the Mystery Machine drive around is like looking at a miniature paper model, not an actual van.

The cast for this movie is big enough that a theatrical release would seem to make sense. The animation in Scoob! is also somewhat quaint. could only stomach embracing this IP by making it superhero-friendly.) (Or, failing that, a studio executive at Warner Bros. To so cheerfully eschew that formula seems to imply that either director Tony Cervone or the group of writers credited with the script just couldn't stand the thought of reviving the Scooby-Doo franchise to.tell a Scooby-Doo story. And that formula has endured for decades. ) Whether or not this reviewer enjoys Scooby-Doo, it has a formula. (Remember: this is a movie whose entire plot is kickstarted by Simon Cowell. But then, all of Scoob! is quite strange, and never in a charming way.
