Jinkies this is fun!
If you can, see the animated super-heroic fantasy adventure.
SCOOBY-DOO and KRYPTO, TOO!
While it is a little tedious and didactic at times, with some preposterous contrivances throughout the plot (in that regard typically both Scoobish AND Silver Agean in its tone), overall it is a rich tapestry of distinct and likable characters, fresh plot twists, scores (if not hundreds) of completely nonintrusive Oestre Eggs in the story, both spoken and shown. They were scattered throughout the backgrounds. Watch carefully, it’s worth it.
And listen carefully, that’s worth it too. The talented vocal actors deliver dialogue that was crisp, smart, and funny (but not overbearingly so), though, again, a little bit heavy on the exposition. I think I would edit out a few minutes if I had the chance.
I sure hope Warner doesn’t get prickly over this. I have NEVER felt guilt over intercepting One Man’s Trash. This Toon is a Treasure! In fact, Warner should celebrate this flic, declare it public domain, and offer Kate Micucci even more dough to reprise Velma in the next live action Mystery Inc Adventure! (I hope we’ve all comfortably put that other “Velma” behind us. Remember kids, bad sequels do not spoil great originals. Besides, it’s all just make-believe.)
