Diretamente de Lugar Nenhum: Scooby-Doo! Encontra Coragem o Cão Covarde

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.

The gang captures the bank robbing clown. As Velma does her speech, Scooby Doo is hypnotized and runs off. He is drawn to Courage the Cowardly Dog who is also hypnotized by some unknown sound. Courage lives in Nowhere, Kansas with his owners, Eustace and Muriel Bagge. The farm is infested with giant cicadas.

I never saw the Courage the Cowardly Dog show but I do remember the cartoon designs. This is probably more for fans of that show rather than Scooby. Scooby has a wide range of compatriots and this is one of the weirder ones. It's not that unexpected but I do wish they stay closer to the Scooby mystery plot construction. This is for the fans, but probably more for Courage's fans.

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.

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.

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.
