Viaggio ad Altrove: Scooby-Doo! incontra Leone il Cane Fifone

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.

Cute crossover, the 90's kids have been waiting for this one, I just feel like it could have been made a little "spookier". Out of all those creepy creatures and ghouls from both Scooby and Courage, you chose an ugly bug as the main villain???? Also some scenes were very dumb (like the canyon chase one).

It's not a terrible movie, but it is definitely a missed opportunity.

Finally saw this for free on TV. Wanted to watch it at Halloween time & frankly didn't want to buy it to watch once because I figured it'd be a mixed bag. The special was hit and miss. Hearing Thea White again (for the last time) as Muriel hit the feels for sure. Grabstein was good returning to Courage. Eustace...Jeff Bergman didn't quite do it for me most of the time. And what was with that random rap scene? The writing in this doesn't always flow so well either. The explanation for monsters in Nowhere is interesting but kind of falls to the wayside. Glad I saw it- probably won't watch again.

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.

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