Scooby Goes Hollywood Audience Reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
jaemiewaters Scooby Doo goes to Hollywood is one weird movie for sure because it is is in French and Spanish and English it is not the best movie but it is still a good movie for the whole family to enjoy i think you may not enjoy this weird movie it is a OK movie i think you may want to watch this horrible movie if you are looking for a good funny movie than you are not at the right movie because this movie stinks a lot i think it is not that bad but it is not the best movie ever i think you may want to watch this movie just to see how bad this movie is Scooby Doo Goes to Hollywood it bad i think this maybe one of the tiring movies of all times i think this movie should get a award for one of the worse movies ever created i hope you enjoy this movie but in my thinking it is horrible film i never saw anything this bad before in my whole life i think it stinks horribly it is stinky i never saw a movie this bad before in my whole life it is bad i never saw a movie this bad before n my life
TheLittleSongbird As a huge Scooby Doo fan, naturally I wanted to see Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood. I will admit I was a little disappointed by it, but I didn't think it was bad. The music is great and true to the style of the decade it's set in, and I liked the song sung by Fred, Daphne and Velma and the duet between Scooby and Cher(ie).The voice work is still excellent, particularly from Don Messick, Casey Kasem and Frank Welker, and I enjoyed the spoofs on Happy Days, Charlie's Angels, Sonny and Cher and Superman. My favourite is the one on Sound of Music, which is still very funny.The characters still have their likability. Scooby and Shaggy still make me smile and laugh, and while underused Fred, Daphne and Velma manage to not be dull.Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood isn't perfect however. My feelings on the animation were mixed. The colours are lively and plentiful and some of the background art is nice, but the editing could have done with being more fluid and some of the character designs are not as strong as they could have been.The concept was intriguing and it was very interesting at the start. However, the story is rather thin and predictable, and perhaps rushed too, with too much focus on the jokes and spoofs in alternative to a coherent storyline.I was also mixed on the writing, most of the jokes and spoofs are very funny, but there are also some lame puns along the way and one or two of the spoofs due to feeling skimmed over don't quite make the grade.All in all, a decent enough special, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. 6/10 Bethany Cox
richard.fuller1 One, I remember this special. It aired on Sunday. I'm surprised to see it aired so close to Christmas tho.Two, it was awful.Three, the only reason I gave it a 2 rating is because I always remembered Scooby doing Sound of Music and he fell off the mountain when he started singing. I thought that was funny even 30 years ago.So what exactly was this? Clearly this is the missing link between the overhauling of the Scooby Doo format (which Mark Evanier, creator of Scrappy Doo, has said he felt had run its course) from Mystery sleuths to . . . . whatever was deemed better.Often resembling the old WB Porky Pig and Daffy Duck cartoons where Porky was going to go into movies, it is pretty much the same setup here, with Shaggy and Scooby.As others have noted, we are given various TV show and movie imitations, among them, Happy Days, Charlie's Angels (how does this one figure into the history of Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, which premiered about a year earlier?), Superman, Love Boat and clearly Donny & Marie (renamed Scooby and Cherie. She was obviously a merger of Marie Osmond, Cher and Charo, to an extent, but the female character was straight up Marie Osmond, especially as this was the same network of Donny and Marie).No, it was not good. It was pathetic. Scooby needs mysteries the same way mysteries will receive Scooby.When Scooby Doo did stray from its crime-solving on Saturday mornings, it merely ventured into Huckleberry Hound-HOkey Wolf territory (meeting witches and the seven dwarfs and all). Not very original.Basically, this cartoon then stands as being ahead of its time. Scooby was destined for greater things. The cartoon just couldn't envision what.The cartoon just couldn't see Scooby Mysteries still being produced 25 years later, and likewise two motion pictures doing extremely well.Give Scooby and the gang another dozen years, and I imagine they will be engaging in a new venture; probably live action in primetime TV.Just so long as those meddling kids, 'zoiks', 'jinkies' and the scooby snacks are there, as well as a mystery to solve, it should do just fine.Need any proof how valuable any of those ingredients might be? Just check out this little cartoon to see.
kristin_electra Maybe it was OK in the 70s if there was nothing else on (ut it was the only DVD we saw for Scooby that was bad) The rest of them are great rentals, but this one was a horrific flashback of the duller years for me and a regular bore for the kids.The entire show is about Scooby trying to play other roles, like on Happy Days, and every one he does ends up with him crashing into something. It is also a wanna be musical, with no real plot and certainly no mystery.I can't believe they bothered to put this on DVD! If you want to rent a great Scooby movie, get anything else first!!!! Even Harlem globe trotters is Academy material compared to this one.
