different....
I saw an early release of this and immediately liked it. It was in a similar vein with that of Camp Scare and Abracadabra Scooby Doo. Very funny and witty scenes and then...the gang break out into SEVERAL showtunes. The first song was clever and I thought as a one shot, it was cool and different. But that's just it...the rest of the video is little bits of plot with lots and lots of showtunes. My 3 year old didn't care for it and he watches everything with scooby. I'll let you decide your opinion.
A Scooby Doo Musical?!
Let me start off by saying that I'm completely obsessed with Scooby Doo. I have been since I was a kid and now at 20, I still watch all the cartoons, tv movies, and dtv movies. I can't get enough.
That said, we turn to Music of the Vampire. It's really unlike any other Scooby movie ever made but at the same time it's remarkably familiar. I really enjoyed watching it. Sure, not all the songs are amazing but it's a whole lot of fun and there are at least 3 genuinely wonderful musical numbers in the film. It's a fun little mystery with the voice cast at the top of their games and singing(!) except for Mindy Cohn. All in all, I am very pleased with this new flick and I wouldn't be opposed to another musical installment of Scooby and the Gang!
Another great Scooby movie
First and foremost I would like to state that any reviews with less than three stars are not true Scooby fans. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this title. From the reviews I read I was actually expecting this Scooby movie to be a full on musical....It's not. It's the typical 'new' Scooby gang solving a super cool mystery with a few musical numbers to add to the mystery. Also, the musical scores are really good. Actually, Music of the Vampire reminds me of the original Scooby movies done back in the 70's. The only thing I would like to have seen in this movie would have been the addition of the Hex Girls :) All in all, if you like Scooby-Doo then you'll like this movie.
Note: 'new' refers to the cast change of voice actors on some of the characters.
