¡Truco o trato Scooby-Doo!

I sat down here in 2022 to watch the new "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" animated movie with my son, as we both have been enjoying the "Scooby-Doo!" animated movies and series over the years. In fact, I grew up with the animated series on TV back in my childhood, so it is always a blast to return to watch the Mystery Gang on the screen.

Writers Daniel McLellan, Audie Harrison and Laura Pollak put together an enjoyable storyline, which definitely proved entertaining, and also very much felt like a proper "Scooby-Doo!" animated movie. So this was quite enjoyable to watch.

The animation in "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" is good, it looks like the good old classic style that we all love, while it still managed to incorporate new elements into the style. So it was a nice little change added to the animation and art style.

With "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" being an animated movie, of course it is important to have a good voice ensemble. And of course they had that for "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" as well, with the likes of long-time voice actors Frank Welker, Grey Griffin, Matthew Lillard and also Kate Micucci.

If you enjoy the "Scooby-Doo!" franchise, then you will certainly also enjoy this 2022 animated movie from director Audie Harrison. And I will say that this 2022 movie definitely is a suitable animated movie to watch for Halloween.

My rating of "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" lands on a six out of ten stars.

My daughter and I recently enjoyed Trick-or-Treat Scooby-Doo (2022) on Max. The plot revolves around Mystery Inc. Taking a vacation and slowing down their case solving activities since their arch-nemesis has been arrested, and business is quiet. However, their trip is disrupted by some mysterious ghouls, leading them to consider seeking help from their former foe to uncover the truth.

Directed by Audie Harrison (Uncle Grandpa), the film features the voices of Frank Welker (Mortal Kombat), Grey Griffin (Bumblebee), Matthew Lillard (Scream) and Anthony Carrigan (Gotham).

The storyline of this movie proves to be enjoyable and entertaining as it unfolds. The ghostly elements are well-executed, and the animation style maintains a nostalgic charm. While the inclusion of a Velma love story may not have been necessary, it doesn't significantly detract from the overall experience. The conclusion may be somewhat predictable, but it remains satisfying.

In summary, Trick-or-Treat Scooby-Doo may not be outstanding, but it's a fun addition to the Scooby-Doo universe. I would rate this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

I am always to see new Scooby Doo movies. Bit I couldn't follow the plot. However, it was your usually funny Scooby movie. My favorite movies of course are Zombie Island, Witches Ghost & the one with Kiss. I do wish they would update the look of the characters like they did on the Mystery Inc.

I am glad they keep reinventing the characters and they are grown as a Scooby doo fan I want new movies to keep coming and for the storylines to keep growing & more movies focused on the supernatural like zombie island & witches ghost. Keep these new movies coming and I will keep tuning in for these storylines.

The gang solves the case of the Cat Man. They discover that many of their cases are related. The villains' costumes are all made by Coco Diablo. She tries to recruit someone to take out the gang, but they catch her in the act. Velma has a big crush on Coco. With Coco locked up, there just isn't any more big cases.

The big news in this one is Velma's sexual preferences. I'm racking my brain trying to remember any of her previous crushes in earlier iterations. It's not a big deal to me. Maybe it's a big deal for others. More than anything, I don't particularly like Coco. I would have liked a nicer partner for Velma whether male or female. I hope she's not a new constant contributor. This movie's comedy is broader than most Scooby adventures. It's definitely trying for something wackier and sillier. I do like it to some extent. I'm less fond of Coco and her sexual preference has nothing to do with it.

First off, the character of Coco Diablo is insufferable. She's an annoying, unfunny, uninteresting character. Velma's infatuation with her is annoying and the way she acts in the presence of Coco is oddly out of character considering Velma's usually outgoing and nerdy personality. The ending of the movie devolves into literal nonsense. Most of the other side characters are over the top and verge on annoying, and the movie makes jokes at its own expense several times. And it seems ever since Deadpool, movies and shows think it's funny to have a character break the fourth wall and speak to the audience. They don't go quite that far but Scooby Doo makes a remark to one of the villains about the show being named after him. It's out of nowhere and makes little sense. But for the good side of things, the movie revisits multiple classic golden and silver era Scooby villains, both in and out of their disguises. It's cool to see the old villains getting screen time in new projects, even though they were reduced to bit parts. The new villains (with the exception of Coco) are decent characters. I liked the idea of a group of ghosts that were the complete opposite of Mystery Inc. The idea of the Scooby Gang going up against evil versions of their selves is fantastic, but not quite explored as much as it could've been. The redesign to the Mystery Machine is an odd choice but it keeps things fresh. It's almost an homage to the Munsters' Koach. And I love the subtle Easter eggs hidden throughout the movie. Like in Trevor's shop, you see Freddy Krueger's striped sweater. It's a middle of the road movie. Some good laughable moments, some terrible unfunny Gen-Z humor. As a Scooby Doo movie, it serves its purpose, although being mildly disappointing.
