Having grown up watching Scooby-Doo on weekend morning TV and having a son that loves Scooby-Doo as well, then it took no convincing of me to sit down and watch "Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" when my son asked me to watch it with him.
"Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is true to every other Scooby-Doo animated adventure, for better or worse. Sure, there is the familiarity aspect to it, but at the same time there is also something new, as it was quite nice to see superheroes make an appearance in a Scooby-Doo adventure.
The animation is good and the art style is very much in tune with the traditional art that defined Scooby-Doo ever since the early beginning.
As it always is with a Scooby-Doo animated movie, the voice acting is great, and they got a good ensemble of cast members to perform the voices of the various characters. It is always nice to have the familiar voices of Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle and Matthew Lillard in these movie.
There is an abundance of references and nods towards other Hanna-Barbera cartoons. And it was actually a fun way that they put them into this particular Scooby-Doo adventure.
"Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is definitely one of the better animated Scooby-Doo movies I have seen in a while.
My rating of "Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon" is 6 out of 10 stars.
