Wonderfully offbeat film!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

OK, the start is pretty hysterical, from how everyone ends up where they do to the NOA knock off weather station bucking for a Howlin' Wolfman Rock and Roll DJ with about 12 listeners total. And all with a throwback character from Loch Ness and that always feels like a nod to Scooby fans.Respect.But, unfortunately, it has one of those strong starts and one of those endings that are so weak you can't even remember who the villain was after fifteen minutes.What was that? Right, totally unmemorable.But it is a cartoon, and the first half is funny enough to love, so who cares if it finishes weak?

Chill Out, Scooby Doo! (2007)** (out of 4) Fred, Velma and Daphne are on vacation in Paris where they're supposed to meet Shaggy and Scooby. The only problem is that the two misfits end up in the Himalayas Mountains at the same time a mysterious snow creature has been spotted and it doesn't take long for everyone to meet. CHILL OUT, SCOOBY DOO! is one of the most boring features I've seen from the beloved dog and his gang, which is pretty shocking because the location and monster should have led to a much more entertaining film. Just to say how bad this one is, my son who absolutely loves everything Scooby pretty much tuned this one out after about twenty-minutes and it was a real chore trying to get him to finish it. There are all sorts of problems here but the biggest is that the filmmakers turn Scooby and Shaggy into a couple of idiots. Yes, the series and feature movies have always gotten laughs out of them but the attempt at humor was just so forced and so over-the-top that I couldn't help but get annoyed at it. The supporting laughs with the rest of the gang also fall flat and in the end there's really nothing funny to be seen here. The snow monster was a plus as it looked terrific and the Himalayas were a terrific location but it's just too bad more wasn't done with it. The original series had an episode called "That's Snow Ghost," which is the thing you should check out over this feature.

this Scooby DOO movie is one of the coolest Scooby Doo movies ever created on earth by Warner Brothers and did they do a super job on this wonderful movie that is a 3 out of 4 star movie for sure i think you will enjoy this wonderful snowy movie that will warm your hart for sure it is one of the coolest movies ever created i hope you enjoy this number 1 Scooby DOO movie because it is full of laughs if you like Scoooby DOO movies than you will enjoy this movie that will make you say wow now we need to watch that again or if you don't have it you may want to buy it that is how good this movie is i think that after it is over you will never want it to end that is how good this movie is i hope you enjoy this wonderful movie i hope you enjoy everyone it is on TV every 2 months it should be rated PG or PG13 for cartoon action mild violence mild action and rude hummer but i like it the way it is i never watched anything like this i just hope you enjoy it as much as i did everyone enjoy

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.
