Featured reviews
Oh, can I really title this "An Honest Review" when it takes place in my city? Yeah? You don't approve of it? Well you're not from Chicago.
I love, in all caps, I LOVE the part at the start where Velma is reading off all the attractions in Chicago and Scooby and Shaggy are more interested in our pizza than anything else. Now if they threw in a hotdog joke to match the scene at the Pizza Parlor than I would be on cloud 9.
...Baby don't you wanna go...
Anyway, the parody of American Idol works from a humor perspective, it is really funny and you combine that with the pathological director, the reference to the Phantom of the opera and Disco and, well, you have one seriously funny installment...
And one that takes place in my sweet home, so...represent.
The only down side is that, yet again, the ending is a "meh." Almost like Scooby Doo just doesn't know how to end its movies. Not that it matters, the build up is enough to make it enjoyable.
The animation is beautiful too and the voice work is awesome. It has heart and a message too just to top everything off.
With Daphne finally confirming her undying infatuation for Fred, Velma naturally getting excited over a diamond and Shaggy and Scooby devouring the largest pizza ever created in just mere seconds. Someone living in the sewers for forty years whilst failing to understand mirrors, parodying the famous musical. Accompanied with a cutesy little title cartoon that introduces the voice actors. All harmless shenanigans, but the problem with this extended episode (I just can't class these as films), and the remaining straight-to-DVD features, is the imbalanced story. The mystery of the phantom itself literally only consumes a third of the plot. The other two thirds are filled with cartoonish antics for the sake of filling up the runtime. It loses focus and leaves my mind wandering as I wait for the predictable culprit to be revealed.
Sure the animation, minus the 3D computerised effects, and voice acting were consistently engaging as always. But there's only so much dawdling I can take. Oh, and a talent show ending on a tie? Two acts with the same precise number of votes (we're talking over thirty million here)? Impossibly improbable. But of course, the good ol' sympathy story always wins. What else can I say? It's an unnecessarily long Scooby-Doo episode that kids/fans are sure to love. Harmless as it is forgettable. The metal girl group should've won though. An American punk 'Babymetal'...

- GoofsBefore the opening credits role, Velma is shocked that Scooby can drive the Mystery Machine in a clumsy way. But Scooby has already been shown to drive the van quite well in previous DTV installments.
- Quotes
Daphne: Fred, why do ghosts and monsters and stuff turn up wherever we go? Is it something about us?
Fred: No, this happens to everyone. It would be too much of a coincidence if this only happened to us, so logically, everyone must run into ghosts and monsters all the time.
Daphne: Really?
Fred: Sure! It's simple math. They must be everywhere.
