Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog

While the 2021 animated movie "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" does follow the archetypical formula of how they make a "Scooby-Doo" adventure, then writer Michael Ryan actually does manage to do this crossover cartoon in a very fulfilling and entertaining way.

The storyline was enjoyable and definitely mixed elements of the two animated franchises together in a good way, and in a way that will please fans of both or either franchise. So thumbs up on that achievement. I found the storyline to be fun and enjoyable, as did my 11 year old son.

The animation and art style in "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" was good, and it is always a blast to sit down and watch these "Scooby-Doo" movies as they are a trip down memory lane, but while keeping today's touch to it as well.

This being an animated movie, of course having a great voice acting ensemble is very important. And I will say that they definitely had that for "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog". Lots of returning talents to do the voices, so there is a good sense of familiarity and continuity to this animated movie.

I sat down to watch "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" with my family, and there was something enjoyable for all ages to be had here. And that makes "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" well-worth sitting down to watch. So thumbs up to director Cecilia Aranovich on that accomplishment.

My rating of "Straight Outta Nowhere Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Maybe I'm biased cause I've never liked Scooby Doo movies (the series's are amazing though to me) but it was all over the place. But it was interesting seeing both worlds (courage's universe & Scoob's) collide.

Release growing up i always loved how courage scared the pants off me and scooby-doo make me laugh so hard, while scooby-doo still being continued I never thought I would see my childhood come to life. To this i thank all of Cartoon Network and all the people that made it happen at least something good came out of this year...💯

I'm willing to bet others, like myself, sought out this film for Courage. Well I'm certainly not disappointed as this film acts like a loving tribute and a good series finale for it.

Even though this is also a Scooby-Doo movie, the two groups of characters work well off each other and the voice cast give their performances like they're having fun with it.

In the third act, it's all for the Courage fans. I won't say here as hopefully you'll be shocked as I was to see who shows up.

I'm also willing to bet the writers only made this a crossover with Scooby-Doo so that it could get made as they were probably hesitant about a stand-alone Courage project, after the CGI short in 2014. But I'm glad they did.

Good crossover, great tribute, awesome finale to one of my favorite cartoons growing up.

RIP Thea White, making this her final film.

Nothing out of the ordinary. It's just Scooby-Doo and Shaggy having fun as usual.
