Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!

While the animation is pretty smooth... the painted backgrounds and drawn characters clash and are very off putting. Ik it's a cartoon about a talking dog but up until recently the stories and animation had atleast some type of realism. This was just too cartoonish for me and not what scooby doo had been for the last 20 years. Bring back the what's new scooby doo animation or even the mystery incorporated style. The new school style just doesn't fit scooby doo I love scooby doo to death and even I had to force myself to get through this ... stop messing with scooby doo some things do not need to be changed.

My kids and I watch Scooby Doo most weekends. Yesterday we rewatched the first Zombie Island which is my favorite! This week we also watched Happy Halloween Scooby Doo, the Sword and the Scoob to name a few.

This movie was just not entertaining. We had to force ourselves to keep watching. I don't normally have to do that for my 5 year old. The storyline reminds me of the Be Cool, Scooby Doo Tv show. They're using the old animation style and had a lot of call backs to old villains which may be its only positives. The movie was just trying to be too meta, made fun of it's own story model way farther than it needed to, and felt like it was just pushing an agenda that didn't feel natural. In fact, I felt like they betrayed Velma's character to not be okay with being herself.

Not sure who they were targeting with this one. Boring tale for kids and adults. I would love to see them go back to the writing from the early 2000s. Zombie Island and the Witch's Ghost were so good. But I also really enjoyed Happy Halloween from 2020 so it's not like good writing can't be found.

What do I want from a Scooby Doo movie? This! Scooby Doo trick or Treat is summed up perfectly by Fred in a very meta line in this movie. "It's not what I expected, but it's exactly what I expected." A franchise as old as time consistently breathes new life into itself and it's run of the mill plot and character archetype's by meddling with those kids and their dumb dog. This isn't your mom and dads Scooby Doo but it is still a pure and true Scooby Doo classic for the new age! Put away your fears of characters needing to stay the same and remember life goes on, things change and sometimes the biggest villains aren't the guys in a mask. It may just be the internet trolls leaving bad reviews cause made up characters get changed a little.

I am always to see new Scooby Doo movies. Bit I couldn't follow the plot. However, it was your usually funny Scooby movie. My favorite movies of course are Zombie Island, Witches Ghost & the one with Kiss. I do wish they would update the look of the characters like they did on the Mystery Inc.

I am glad they keep reinventing the characters and they are grown as a Scooby doo fan I want new movies to keep coming and for the storylines to keep growing & more movies focused on the supernatural like zombie island & witches ghost. Keep these new movies coming and I will keep tuning in for these storylines.

This really has the plot and storyline of a Scooby-Doo movie verses just an extra long tv episode worthy mystery.

The Halloween tie in is really fun but isn't the heart of the movie, but more just the background amount the story the gang is involved in.

I feel like the comedy mixes classic cartoon jokes with some new animated comedy. A more cartoonish version of jokes we got in Scooby-Doo: Mystery Inc.

I think people need to realize that franchises aren't going to be the same thing over and over otherwise they get dull and boring, and the changes this film made are really fun!

And anyone who has issue with Velma in this, we had episodes/films where Shaggy, Velma, and Daphne do the same thing with a character they need in the episode/film. Doesn't distract from any of the movie, just adds to it.
