Before I start my review I want to direct my attention to the user Stefanantonie. They have made THREE negative reviews (which is odd because we are usually only allowed to leave one per person) and is pretty much spamming the section with negative reviews while ADMITTING to not even have watched the movie. I kindly ask that Stefanantonie find something more productive to do with their time rather than bashing a cartoon children's movie they haven't even seen. Can IMBD delete the multiple reviews from the same person and leave just one?
Ok now to my review for the movie: SPOILER ALERT
I LOVED the gangs personality in this movie. Here they truly felt like friends and like they had a genuine connection. Especially the beginning part where they were sight seeing together. I also enjoyed the pre mystery they solved on the airplane. It kind of gives you a feeling of what the gang has to go through.
The time travel does end up being fake which was honestly a relief to me because I believe the true Scooby essence is when there's a logical or scientific explanation to the situation. One of the things that makes Scooby unique compared to the plethora of supernatural shows out there is that it debunks the supernatural rather than proving it. I feel this teaches kids that they don't have to fear monsters and it teaches them critical thinking skills. It also teaches us adults that real monsters in this world can be people. Pretty deep in my opinion. They also found a very creative way to address that as well. It was a creative explanation and didn't seem convoluted at all.
I also LOVED Daphne's personality. It was a perfect blend of quirky Be Cool Daphne with the independent strong WNSD Daphne. Also the dragons design was amazing and I loved how it can talk. It added an extra layer of spookiness to it.
There are also Easter eggs that referenced past Scooby media. This showed the amount of care and detail put into this movie.
The animation is beautiful as always. I love how they have kept the same animation style since the 2010 DTV movies. It's like an HD version of the original SDWAY animation. It's like if you went back in time and gave the original animators a huge animation budget. Same designs just clearer, crisper, and more fluid.
The background design is also gorgeous as well. I truly hope they keep this design forever haha.
All in all it was a fantastic movie filled with action, Easter eggs, mystery, and adventure. I would give it a 10/10
