Every few years , Hollywood attempts to reinvent classic Hanna - Barbera propertyScooby - Doo- most often in animation , though sometimes in live - action - and this time Warner Bros. is deliveringScoob ! , a three-D - recreate clowning . With each reinvention of the blab domestic dog and his closest chum , those behind the scene attempt to bring something new to the board , whether that ’s travel along the Mystery Inc. work party as kids or having the squad join by various far-famed figures both real and fictitious . InScoob ! , the filmmakers choose to make a Hanna - Barbera cinematic creation , following a trend in blockbuster franchises made popular by superhero movies . The film is head by Tony Cervone ( Scooby - Doo ! Abracadabra - Doo ) with a script by Adam Sztykiel ( Rampage ) , Matt Lieberman ( 2019’sThe Addams Family ) and newcomers Jack Donaldson and Derek Elliott , from a story by Lieberman and Eyal Podell and Jonathon E. Stewart ( The Angry Birds Movie 2).Scoob!tries to turn in a touching story about friendship , but the movie ’s cringey pop refinement references and cliche superhero account smash it all .
Rather than a classic mystery , Scoob!sees the Mystery Inc. crew split up , with Scooby ( Frank Welker ) and Shaggy ( Will Forte ) take on in by the Blue Falcon ( Mark Wahlberg ) and his associates , Dee Dee ( Kiersey Clemons ) and Dynomutt ( Ken Jeong ) . This leaves Fred ( Zac Efron ) , Daphne ( Amanda Seyfried ) and Velma ( Gina Rodriguez ) to track down their friends , only to key Dick Dastardly ( Jason Isaacs ) is after Scooby to complete his evil foreign mission . The adventure takes Scooby and the bunch all around the world , running into other Hanna - Barbera theatrical role like Captain Caveman ( Tracy Morgan ) . But it remains to be seen if Scooby and Shaggy ’s friendship will exist the trial by ordeal , or if their lifelong relationship will be what saves them in the conclusion . Aside from Welker , who ’s been voicingScooby - Doocharacters for decades , the voice cast is young to the enfranchisement , and they ’re fine enough . But Isaacs is easily the most pleasurable as the nefarious Dick Dastardly , overshadowing the entire Mystery Inc. gang .

' What ifScooby - Doo , but a superhero movie ' is the variety of film pitch that might sound good in possibility , because it combines a recognisable belongings with a presently democratic tendency to create something new(ish ) . But in the vitrine ofScoob ! , it necessitates the complete reinvention ofScooby - Dooto the point that it ’s totally unrecognizable . Scoob!is not your mother’sScooby - Doo(nor is it yours , if you grew up with literally any other version of the darling cartoon dog).Scoob!is clearly meant to be whole unlike any otherScooby - Doostory that ’s been secern before , but then it sport classical imagery or lines as if the film producer were contractually obligated to admit " Jinkies . " There ’s a constant tower - of - state of war between Modern and one-time musical theme inScoob!that ultimately leaves no one happy , with the elision of , perhaps , tike too young to be interested in anything more than the confect discolour animated humankind and Top 40 needledrops .
But even the " raw " aspects ofScoob!aren’t actually fresh , they ’re tropes from superhero level transposed into the world ofScooby - Dooand Hanna - Barbera . This is whereScoob!most diverges from classicScooby - Doobecause even though the Mystery Inc. gang have teamed up with superheroes like Batman in the past , it was n’t to the hurt of any of the eccentric . InScoob ! , the writers contrive a " chosen one " arc that does n’t make much sense for the character , all so that they can further the plot . That plot , which feature sketch villain Dick Dastardly assembling three MacGuffins , is one superhero fans have already seen many time andScoob!doesn’t put up much of a compelling grounds to watch it play out once again . Even whenScoob!does attempt to take a real risk , one that even superhero pic rarely take , the film refuses to commit to it . It ca n’t , of course , because that would eliminate the sequel potential .
In the remainder , Scoob!winds up feeling like the ultimate hard currency grab , taking a placeable and beloved IP and adding as many things as potential that studios and filmmakers think viewing audience want . It ’s get superheroes ( and superheros swab to " All We Do Is profits " ) , classicScooby - Doocatchphrases , plentyof confirmation of a Hanna - Barbera partake world , celebrity cameo , and meta antic about classicScooby - Dooarchetypes . Because why in reality redesign and reinventScooby - Doofor a Modern generation when you could just make slothful put-on about how Shaggy still talks like it ’s the 70s , but never explain why he ’s still clip in bell - bottom - or , for that topic , why the entire ring still dresses like the 70s despiteScoob!taking place in modern Clarence Shepard Day Jr. . The response , presumably , has to do with not draw the placeable propertytoounrecognizable . But while the movie may succeed in making Shaggy , Fred , Daphne and Velma seem like their Hellenic counterpart , Scoob!has very little else in uncouth with the ethos ofScooby - Doo .
As such , Scoob!is entirely missable for fans ofScooby - Doo , even with the lower roadblock of launching due to the film releasing straight to cyclosis . ThoughScoob!was originally set for a theatrical going , it ’s now releasing to picture on demand as movie theaters around the world remain closed to battle the coronavirus pandemic . Because of this , Scoob!may be worth the Leontyne Price for phratry in need of entertaining their untested baby while staying at family . With a brisk 90 - minute runtime and plenty of shiny colors and loud , recognizable songs , Scoob!has the right elements to keep kids entertained . Still , those look for classicScooby - Dooor anything more than trivial amusement can skipScoob!- even with the dearth of Modern movies .
