Review: Scoob! It does not differ from other movies or TV shows "Scooby-Doo".

 Warner Bros. Scoob. did not make its film debut as expected, but on the "premium VOD", which can almost be considered a stroke of luck. Despite rich colors and sometimes striking computer animations, it is not distinguishable from the 33 previous Scooby-Doo animated films! directly on DVD or VOD. I'm not going to pretend to have seen them all, but the ones I've seen are usually enjoyable entertainment for kids who offer larger-scale adventures for the iconic team of detectives. For better or for worse, that's what Scoob is!

 

 There's not much in Scoob! which are fresh, since even the first DVD movies and live-action films have touched on the supernatural. But like Scoob! is now a VOD outing ($20 to rent and $25 to buy), his artistic and commercial ambitions are in phase. The toon directed by Tony Cervone begins with a charming prologue to "how everyone met". As children become young adults and want to venture into bigger and better mysteries, they end up finding a willing investor in the person of Simon Cowell.

 Shaggy (Will Forte) and Scooby (Frank Welker) manage to slaughter "In the Shallows" in one of the many ways Scoob! reminds you that he is part of the Warner Media empire, and Cowell declares that he will only invest in the gang without his two weakest links. If you think the film is going to talk about the Scooby gang struggling to find a balance between friendship and opportunity, you're wrong because it's barely coming back. Scooby and Shaggy, heartbroken and depressed, work their feelings at the local bowling alley before being attacked by killer robots.

 After an action sequence that is too long and chaotic, Blue Falcon (Mark Wahlberg), Dee Dee Sykes (Kiersey Clemons), and Dynomutt (Ken Jeong) come to the rescue. They were targeted by the evil Dick Dastardly (Jason Isaacs) because Scooby is the dog needed to provoke the "Apocalypse". That's when the film goes off the place. The film becomes too focused on frenetic action and animated spectacle at the expense of its comedy and its emblematic characters, otherwise very sharp.

 We have never encountered these specific versions of the Scooby Gang. As such, the fact that their introductory film was used as a clandestine pilot for a "Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe" cancels out what we came to see, namely this new version of the gang that interacts with others and solves mysteries. Spendings more time with Blue Falcon (the underperforming son of the original Blue Falcon) and his superior and crumbles. Fred (Zac Efron), Daphne (Amanda Seyfried), and Velma (Gina Rodriguez) become glorified chameleons.

 Scoob! repeats the two main mistakes of modern franchise cinema. It emphasizes the potential of the cinematic universe and the construction of the world rather than the autonomous narrative and confuses the recent interest in MCU with the abstract idea of superheroes. If the kids are not interested in Scoob-Doo, making him wear a superhero costume won't change that. Anyway, no spoilers, but the reasons for Dick Dastardly's great plot are both surprising and identical to those of a villain from a recent big-screen animated film of recent years, and they mingle with Shaggy's fears of being rejected by his human and four-legged friends.

 A long cameo by Captain Caveman (Tracy Morgan) is fun, but of the three "new" heroes, only Dynomutt registers as a comic presence. It reminds me of DreamWorks' cartoon, The Penguins of Madagascar, which focused on the new characters of secret agents but forgot to give them a personality. Dee Dee de Clemons, in particular, has little to do other than be hyper-competitive and propose an exhibition 'We must stop them!', as if giving him a distinct personality might make him the label 'problematic'.

 In both cases (Pingouins and Scoob!), the feature film is far inferior to the episodic television incarnations. And that's Scoob's key problem! It is very beautiful and provokes a few laughs here and there during its 93 minutes of filming, but it is never justified as an extension of a brand that already contains 35 live animated feature films, live-action films, and more than 400 episodes of episodic television series dating back to 1969. This would have been doubly true if it had tried to justify itself as a Warner Bros. theatrical release.

 As a movie, Scoob! is less than (for example) Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins (which played like a Batman Begins reboot after the two surreal animated features). As an animated game, he can't hold the candle to The Dynamite Mystery Inc. show, which was essentially the animated series of Scooby-Doo Batman: The Animated Series. If I feel like I'm about a Scooby-Doo cartoon, and my eight-year-old son liked it, it's because it doesn't stand out from the deluge of Scooby-Doo content already available, which was his primary goal as a feature film.

 Trolls: World Tour could have been a modest theatrical success if it had opened as planned last month. But Scoob! probably dodged a bullet.
