Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! (2007)

This was a pretty enjoyable entry in the franchise. Obviously, this doesn't compete with the best Scooby-Doo movies (e.g. "Zombie Island" and "Witch's Ghost"), but this is a cut above most other entries from the "What's New Scooby-Doo" era.Sure, the mystery was pretty strange. I mean, come on, all this trouble only because Minga didn't want Chillman to leave. She must be crazy! Another complaint is that the music numbers are even more lackluster than usual.However, I appreciate that they expanded the scope a little for this film. The Himalayas are a nice setting and I always enjoy a snowy atmosphere.The gang are their usual selves, and it was nice that we got Shaggy and Scooby on their own, a dynamic not usually seen in the series. It was "cool" to see Dell Chillman again.The mine-cart chase was pretty exciting and the supporting characters get the job done.One of the better Scooby-Doo films for sure. Worth checking out for fans.RATING: B

I don't think the film was perfect, but I myself found it very worthwhile to watch. The plot is very simple and fun, and I thought the animation was very, very good, very colourful and fluid. Nice to see Paris, which is just an amazing city, I strongly recommend you go if you haven't already. The soundtrack was very nice too, and as usual the voice talents were excellent. Casey Kasem never fails to bring a smile to my face as Shaggy, I know I use this phrase a lot, but I find him very entertaining. Other voice actors that do that for me too are people like Jodi Benson, Tim Curry, Tony Jay and Frank Welker. Speaking of Welker, I much prefer Don Messick as Scooby, but Welker wasn't at all bad, though I do think he was better as Fred. Mindy Cohn and Grey DeLisle are fine too, and Daphne looks really pretty here, well she's always been pretty. In supporting roles, Rene Auberjoinis and Alfred Molina are very entertaining. Chill Out Scooby Doo does have its flaws though. Like What's New Scooby Doo? with the absence of the sound effects, it just lacked that Hanna Barbera touch. As much as I liked the plot, I do think the perpetrator got obvious a bit too early, but that's just an inkling that I have. My main problem was that I thought I noticed a contradiction. Daphne says in one scene "a yeti, what's a yeti?" and I found it odd at the time. Then it occurred to me, then again I could be wrong, that there was a Scooby Doo Where Are You episode when the gang chase a snow ghost, referred to by a supporting character as a yeti. Overall, a very entertaining Scooby Doo film, not the best, but a definite improvement on the appalling Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue. 7/10 Bethany Cox.

Shaggy and Scooby get on the wrong plane when en route to meet the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang in Paris and end up lost in the Himalayas while an abdominal snowman is on the loose. There is the usual amount of suspects and motives but it's just fresh enough to prevent the plot from becoming tiresome.The animation just gets better and better with each entry in the Scooby-Doo series and the bright colors and active sound design are a long way from the grainy TV show back in 1969 (though that still has its charm). Fans of the series will be glad to hear that the character of Dell Chillman from the Loch Ness adventure returns for this one, giving some continuity to the otherwise unrelated mysteries.I must admit that I preferred it when the monsters ended up being real but I guess that each mystery has its own logic and you'll be surprised at who is behind the mask of the adorable snowman.Keep 'em coming, Warner. That ol' Great Dane could live to a hundred.

this is a pretty good Scooby Doo movie.it's fast paced,with some interesting characters,and the story is interesting.beyond that,the movie is fun to watch.Scooby and the gang are supposed to be vacationing in Paris,but end up in Nepal,battling the abominable snowman,and trying to unravel the mystery as they go.this Scooby Doo movie has a lot more action than many i've seen so far,and it's also quite funny.fans of Scooby and the gang are sure to like it,and even people who have never seen a Scooby Doo adventure should find it entertaining.if you haven't seen it you should check it out.for me,Chill Out Scooby Doo is a 7/10
