Scooby-Doo! and Krypto, Too! Review

 

Scooby-Doo! and Krypto, Too! is a direct-to-video mystery movie and the thirty-eighth entry in the Scooby-Doo! direct-to-video series. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Scoob-Doo! and Krypto, Too! is written by T.K. O'Brian and directed by Cecilia Aranovich.

The story is members of the Justice League are mysteriously disappearing. Here about this, Scooby-Doo and the gang head to Metropolis, and team-up with Superman's dog Krypto, to find out why this is happening and who's behind this. And they must hurry, or else all of the supervillains will bring chaos.

Initial Reaction

The reason why I decided to review this was because I was interested in the idea. Scooby and Krypto teaming up. And before you ask, yes I could've reviewed this when it leaked online, but that was unfinished version, which means the quality would've been terrible.

Cons

I've got nothing, so just scroll down to the next part.

Middle Ground

Now the movie does provide a fairly good experience, whether you're a fan of Scooby-Doo!, DC, or both. However, the story isn't very imaginative. Yes, I know it's Scooby-Doo and the franchise isn't known for its sophisticated and complex storytelling, almost every Scooby project follows a formula, but just because there's a formula to something, that doesn't mean you can't be creative with it. And here, like I said previously, it's fun, but it's very predictable. Hell, Scooby meets Krypto almost the way I figured it would happen.

Pros

Now for the truly good stuff, one of those being the animation. For the longest time the movies have been doing a good job replicating the classic art style, but putting it in a more crisp and clean HD style, and this movie is no exception. Then there's the humor. While not everything worked, nine times out of ten, it was a pretty funny movie. There's actually a good running gag where Lex gets lost in the Hall of Justice, which I feared who get old, thankfully that wasn't the case. The last thing I'll write about but also keep short, is the voice acting. It comes as no surprise that cast do a great job with their roles. Although one [Frank Welker] is an industry veteran. But regardless of who has the longest experience, the cast continue and are more than likely going to continue their great chemistry.

While Scooby-Doo! and Krypto, Too! does have some entertaining factors to it, this isn't really a movie you need to rush to see, whether you're a fan of one franchise or the other or both. Although we can all agree it's far more superior than Velma.

My final rating is, Okay.

That's all for me. If it's possible, come back on Sept 30th, The Creator, and if I can't review that, then come back on Oct 5th, where I'll have something special planned for John Carpenter's The Thing. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
