Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright (DVD)

Such a great movie.

All Scooby-Doo episodes and movies contain promise, but some are better than others; hence, Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost are better remembered than Aloha or Chill Out. Well, when I heard this one looked adventurous and parodied both Phantom of the Opera and American Idol I made the mistake of renting it. By mistake, I mean that I should have bought it to rewatch the multifaceted plot details. Just when you think they solved the mystery, there turns out to be more. Also, the gang shows their talent: Shaggy and Scooby act goofier than ever, Velma coins better one-liners, and Daphne and Fred sing their first duets. The characters are dynamic, especially "Fraphne." They even ponder the self-mimicking question, "Are we the only ones who run into masked crooks?"

It includes a sewer slide, a stakeout, several chase scenes, and a perilous driving scene. But the biggest surprise is how it ends. Some shows have one bad guy in a mask, some have two, some have a real one, and some have both a fake and a real monster. (This one follows none of those patterns.) The gang faces danger in a sewer and on a bridge, but the overall tone is light. Fun and friendly for the kids, yet interesting enough for nostalgic adults. This one may just beat Zombie Island.

If that's not enough, the DVD and Blu-Ray discs also include two theater episodes from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?

Fantastic movie, it's so entertaining and nostalgic, and the music is SO GOOD I hate that it's not on the apple music app >:(

I'm not aware of any other Scooby Doo stories set in Chicago. It was fun seeing the Scooby Gang riding by famous landmarks in our city. The plot is set around an Opera House that is not real, but it's fun that the Scooby Gang came to the real city of Chicago and had an adventure. The movie has a lot of twists and turns in the plot so that it was a very difficult mystery to solve. Few kids' movies keep adults guessing like this.

It was also a nice commentary on the American Idol phenomenon without it being too instantly-dated. There was nothing in this that would lock the movie into the year 2013, so it should be great viewing in the future for many decades. But at the same time it was fresh and current enough that watching it you get the pop culture references. This is NOT like watching Aladdin and having all the jokes feel stale because Robin Williams made them about life in the early 1990s...the jokes made in this Scooby movie are very timeless.

The animation looked great...as good as the recent Scooby TV show Mystery Inc...but it had a more positive vibe to it than Mystery Inc (which, to me, was hard to watch sometimes because of the odd "planetary disk" plot). I liked this Scooby movie better because there was no overarching larger plot and it was just about the gang solving a mystery like the old TV show.

Very entertaining

I watched this with my niece (she's four) and she loved it and it didn't scare her, though I did show her the trailer before hand. And as a life long Scooby fan myself, I enjoyed it.

great service!

Great movie one of my sons favorites. He watches it at least once a day!

I'm 20 and still love scooby, this movie is no exception, probably one of the best modern scooby movies.

On retrouve içi scoubi et ses compère pour une nouvelle aventure en long métrage toujours aussi mystérieuse et amusante mais en vo.

Es scooby doo, si te gusta ese personaje esta buena

muy aula

My wife and I, being sensible adults of more than a certain age, love all the SCOOBY films (and series), and I don't normally write reviews. However I felt this was just that little bit different. The usual scary monsters and backchat, but this one has some nice songs and quite a bit of humanity, I really liked the final duet between Fred and Daphne - quite moving. Hope you agree. Usual High quality picture, sound and subs with extras. True family entertainment.
