In the latest animated Scooby-Doo
movie,
Scooby Doo: Abracadabra-Doo,
Scooby and the gang get sent off to
magic school to help Velma’s little
sister Madelyn. The magic school,
Whirlin Merlin Magic Academy at
Flannery Castle has undergone some
scares from a Gryphon. It’s caused
most of the students and faculty to
leave the school and Whrilin is
close to losing his castle, his
school, and his business. Who’s
behind the whole thing? Well that’s
up to Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Fred,
and Daphne to figure out.
The coolest thing about these
original animated movies is simple.
It’s all the ‘guest’ voices. This
time the biggest guest voice is the
very funny Jeffrey Tambor. Also cool
with Scooby is the man himself…
Frank Welker. If you ever look at
his credits, it’s outstanding to see
how many things he and his voice are
in. As usual, he’s great as Fred and
Scooby. Kudos also goes to Matthew
Lillard. He played Shaggy in the
live-action Scooby movies and he’s
the voice of Shaggy in this animated
movie. He’s better as Shaggy than
Casey Kasem is at this point. Kasem
is great in all of the older
cartoons and Lillard will never top
what Kasem has done as Shaggy. But
Kasem is growing older and you can
tell with his voice. It’s sad, but
Lillard is more apt to do Shaggy
than Kasem is at this point.
The only slight to these movies are
the extras. There usually aren’t
any. It wouldn’t hurt to include a
bonus episode of Scooby on the disc.
The general rule with discs like
this is the more content you get the
better it is. This time you get
something though, Scooby Doo and
Puppets. The DVD teaches you how to
make a few puppets- it will be a fun
activity for the kids to try and
make.
This animated movie is great just
like the other original Scooby Doo
animated movies that have been
distributed since Scooby came back
with the live action movies.
Scooby Doo: Abracadabra-Doo
is something that you and your
family will want to check out and
watch and watch over again.
