Movie Reviews of Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood
Movie Review: Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
Scooby-Doo is one of my favourite cartoon characters, but I can't say the same about his cartoons. This feature-length animated film breaks that mould. It's a treat both visually and theme-wise. Scooby already is a big star thanks to his Saturday morning cartoon show, which is loved near and far. Yet he harbours a dream of becoming a big primetime star in Hollywood. With Shaggy as his manager, Scooby steps into show business and tries to impress a producer with some hilarious preview clips showing Scooby's versatility. Yet is fame and fortune all that it's cracked up to be? Perhaps people need Scooby-Doo more than he needs Hollywood?
As is the case with animated features, the animation is allowed to go further here. The movie's highlights are the preview clips Scooby and Shaggy present to the producer, including parodies of the likes of Charlie's Angels, Love Boat and Saturday Night Fever (with the catchy song "Gorgeous Scooby-Doo"). My favourite is the last of these, where Scooby dances in an unashamed scene of disco lights that quickly morph into everything from bubbles to dog dishes. All the while, Scooby Doo becomes alive like he rarely does on the cartoon. More touching scenes arise when his friends look through his baby photo book and reminisce about his good old days.
I've been waiting to see something like this ever since I first saw Scooby-Doo. An animated treat of the character a generation fell in love with, and me, that explores his versatility. And for the price, a fan has no excuse to pass it up. Great find.

The only mystery here is whether Scoob will leave the Mystery Machine gang to go solo. Featuring a laugh track, some musical numbers (!), and the Great Dane hanging with such '70s icons as Charlie's Angels and a disco queen in Qiana, the framing for this 49-minute show is framed as a screen test for a show- biz heavyweight. Shaggy plays agent while his canine sidekick gets to play cowboy for a face-off at high noon and don a leather jacket to wow the ladies as a canine Fonz in "Scooby Days." This leaves Fred, Daphne, and Velma with frighteningly little to do. Originally a television special in 1979, this third--or so-- incarnation of Scooby-Doo and friends features the original series' voices (Casey Kasem, etc.), except for Velma (here voiced by Pat Stevens). Young Scooby fans (3 and up) will enjoy the humor, but Scooby purists will want to stick with the mysteries. --Kimberly Heinrichs
