Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire

The whole concept of going to a Vampire Festival to get a break form monsters only to find monsters is classic Scooby Doo thinking.

Need a vacation from all the scary monster stuff? Then go to a monster festival, makes total sense...and fits brilliantly into the philosophy of the Scooby gang....sometimes you wonder if they don't do things like this just to torture Shaggy and Scooby.

It fits extremely well into the Scooby world, even down to the humor involved.

And the parody of the vampire story fad, is, of course, the only reason this installment was made. It brings the movies back to the Rice/King parodies in Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost...

...and the twist is fun...unfortunately that's where it dies and continues just long enough to turn what was potential into yet another lackluster conclusion.

It came VERY close to being one of the most solid Scooby Doo movies in the catalogue though. Certainly worth a purchase.

I don't know what it is about this film but it's amazing! Whenever I watch it and here the Bayou Breeze playing in the background, the nostalgia just comes back. It gives me chills just hearing it. Speaking of songs, the music was great. I found nothing wrong with any of the voices. It brought the movie to life. The plot was terrific along with the voice acting. The characters added such a nice touch to the movie and the movie just flows well. The main vampire was terrifying yet fun. Also, there were many times where I found myself laughing more than any other Scooby movie. Especially with Scooby and Shaggy. Overall, this movie is unforgettable and honestly the best one out of them all.

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.

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.

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.
