Shaggy was disrespected.,
By
This review is from: Scooby Doo: Abracadabra-Doo (DVD)
This story-line is pretty good. However, it is clear that the producers/creators of this film were intent on changing the presentation of the Scooby Revival movies. There is a clear departure from the last half dozen Scooby movies, in the way the animation was lit and animated. I could live with that, but I cannot tolerate this terrible voicing of Shaggy (I know who the voice belongs to, but I won't mention his name). My kids were asking me why Shaggy isn't funny and/or cool anymore. I understand that Casey Kasem won't do every movie, but there have been a couple very good stand-ins used in the recent past. The guy in this movie is terrible. And since I've noticed that this new voice was used for the most recent Scooby movie - Camp Scare - I won't be buying it for my kids.

Magical Fun Scooby Style,
By mk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scooby Doo: Abracadabra-Doo (DVD)
Nice to see Scooby-Doo alive and well in this 2010 new movie. The major change is that Matthew Lillard from the Scooby live action movies, fills in as the voice of Shaggy. I always thought Matthew was the best of the characters of those somewhat bizarre movies, and here, he's more than adequate but no Casey Kasem.The mystery: a flying half-lion, half-bird monster terrorizes a school for magicians where Velma's sister, who's got a crush on the Shagmeister, elicits the gang's help. A little tension develops between Daphne and Fred over his goo-goo eyes for Whirlen Merlin the Magician's assistant. It has all the traditional Scooby trappings- with lots of potential suspects, lots of like creepy, 'reepy' settings- a giant castle, a dark isolated forest, an island haunted by another monster, trap doors, towers, colorful artwork, Scooby and Shaggy silliness, a few tunes, and a mystery to solve. We prefer solvable mysteries versus supernatural ones. A cute cartoon plays during the opening credits of the feature cartoon (a novel idea) with a bouncy song that got the kiddoes dancing. Our children, ages 3 & 6, loved it; although, we fast fowarded for the younger one, the extra spooky scenes on the 'ghostly' island, but overall the writers resolve it nicely for kids' sensiblities. As adults, growing up with SD, we liked it a lot for what it is. This one rates somewhere between "Chillout Scooby and Where's my Mummy?". 4-1/2*. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Scooby Abracadabra Doo!,
By ScoobyDooFan "Scooby Fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scooby Doo: Abracadabra-Doo (DVD)
Scooby and those meddling kids are back on the case once again in this frightfully fun animated adventure from Warner Home Video.Scooby and the gang take a trip to check up on Velma's younger sister, Madelyn, who's studying magic at a special school for stage magicans. Apperently the school is being haunted by a griffin, a legendary creatre that's half lion, half eagle. Of course, as the mystery unfolds at Whirlen Merlin Magic Academy, not all is what it seems. First off, let's talk animation. Instead of continuing using the animation from What's New Scooby Doo, WB decided to go with a new look, and quite simply, the animation is fantastic. It has the same feel as the early Scooby movies{Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost} with a "retro" twist to it. This is the best looking Scooby movie since Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase. Speaking of retro, Abracadabra-Doo takes Scooby back to basics here, right down to the mystery, and it works really well. The gang are dressed in their classic outfits., and their personalities are more in tune with Scooby Doo: Where Are You{though, not completely. For example, Fred's not a complete jerk like he was early on}. Of course, no Scooby Doo movie would be complete without it's humor. Some of which involves Madelyn's crush on Shaggy. But I think the funniest parts in the movie come from the Mystery Machine's new "G.P.S" system. At one point in the movie, G,P,S proceeds to call Fred "Scarf Boy". Just think Robi the Robot from Shaggy and Scooby Doo: Get A Clue!, except funnier. I had alot of fun watching Abracadabra-Doo. With a good mystery, great looking animation, and some funny bits, This is the best animated Scooby movie in recent years. I would definitely recommend this to Scooby fans. 4/5. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Back to basics = back to great Scooby Doo,
By Robert A Boyer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Scooby Doo: Abracadabra-Doo (DVD)
This movie is one of the best Scooby movies to come along in quite some time... and I think alot of that has to do with a great story. The writers seemed to get back to the basics - back to what makes a great Scooby story: not overly obvious, not overly fantastic, a nice blend of humor, rooted in reality, but leaving you with a hint of a mysterious and supernatural vibe. This is very much UNlike the last two movies, which were way too "fantasy". It also felt like they had a firm grasp on the fact that their audience varies from 3 to 80 in age, and they needed to be sensitive to the way they blended "too childish" with "too adult".The entire cast does a great job, and I personally really like Matthew Lillard as Shaggy. No, he's not Casey Kasem... but to me, I think that's the point... that's why I like him. With Casey passing the torch, I wouldn't want someone to come along and try to pretend he's Casey Kasem and try to duplicate him in a way that's completely transparent. Because frankly, I don't think that's possible. Instead, I want someone to bring themselves to the role, while still maintaining character integrity. And to me, Matthew does this beautifully. Casey Kasem should be proud of his successor, and I look forward to seeing Matthew grow more into the role as time goes on. All in all, this movie represents exactly what I want a Scooby Doo movie to be. I hope they stick to the formula they've developed here, because it works perfectly. |
