Scooby-Doo et le monstre du Loch Ness

The Loch Ness monster was my favorite monster from my child hood. Here in scooby doo the story is nice and I like it how they relate it to the real monster. It does have some clunky animation on the monster and it doesn't look like a plesiosaur like the stereotype.

Same great voices, none annoying. I am going thru a bad time in my life and needed some comfort. Anything to help me forget trespassers. Love it when Fred has a meltdown about Shaggy driving. The monster is very cool. Good music. Good songs. They go hunting for Nessie and in many ways Love when Scooby & Shaggy go looking for food, imagine that, get lost in the castle, and of course shaped by the creature. Nessie may be computerized but she is very cool. Mankind is the only monsters out there. But i do wish the good monsters were real. Nessie and all the other cryptids. Has a very good ending. Haggis is a bit disgusting.

Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster (2004)

** (out of 4)

Scooby and the gang head off to Scotland to see family members when the legendary sea creature shows up. This here is a minor step up over Legend of the Vampire but it still falls short when compared to the TV show. The animation is a little better here and even the voices seem more energetic this time out. Also worth mentioning is that there are some fun supporting characters and the mystery is decent. Once again the big problem is that the film is so dumbed down that it's hard to get too involved.

Recently watched this with my (at time of review) 6 year old son. He's Scooby Doo daft and have recently comeback from a trip to Loch Ness. He absolutely loved it, I thought it was good for Scoob.

The only thing I wasn't so sure on was some of the Scottish accents. But then I'm sure people from other nations are like that when they here actors trying to do thier nations actions.

This 2004 installment to the Scooby-Doo franchise is a very mediocre and generic movie experience, even for a Scooby-Doo adventure.

You know what you are getting yourself into here, for better or worse, as all Scooby-Doo animated movies are essentially the same, just presented differently visually. So there is familiarity in what you get here at least, but that is also where it ends.

Why? Well, because "Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster" doesn't break the formula and give you something beyond what you would expect from an animated Scooby-Doo movie. And that was ultimately why the movie failed to climb out of the gutter of mediocrity.

The voice acting was good, as it usually is in these animated movies, and you have Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn and Grey Griffin, but Matthew Lillard was missing from the equation and it was audibly clear that he was not there. The movie also boasts the talents of John DiMaggio and Sheena Easton.

As for the art and animation, well it was good, as it usually always is in these animated movies in the Scooby-Doo universe. Again, playing on familiarity, and hand on heart, then it is great to sit down now into my 40s and look at something that looks exactly the same as when I was a kid. Now, I can just enjoy it with my own son.

"Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster" is not a bad animated movie, not at all. It just suffers terribly from being way too mediocre and generic. But hey, it is a Scooby-Doo adventure nonetheless.
