Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire

Nice blend of classic Scooby style with a bit of a different spin on the usual comedy for the series. Great animation as with most of the movies, the monsters are pretty cool, and who knew the gang could do a musical? Well worth putting on the top shelf of Scooby movies.

Tired of Cummings voice already. His character is disgusting & annoying. No Micucci to voice Velma, thank god. Dracula is a romantic story, always has been. Lately Hollywood has beend ragging it badly in the mud. Langella & Lugosi were perfect Draculas. They has the sensualness that goes with it. This one leans more towards Nosferatu so it kind of reminds you of Max Schreck being back again after quite an absence. The music is good, some of the songs are annoying but hey just fast forward. Nice to watch like some of the others but will obviously never beat the old or the originals. Still no one's voice expect Cummings is genuinely irritating.

I don't know what it is about this film but it's amazing! Whenever I watch it and here the Bayou Breeze playing in the background, the nostalgia just comes back. It gives me chills just hearing it. Speaking of songs, the music was great. I found nothing wrong with any of the voices. It brought the movie to life. The plot was terrific along with the voice acting. The characters added such a nice touch to the movie and the movie just flows well. The main vampire was terrifying yet fun. Also, there were many times where I found myself laughing more than any other Scooby movie. Especially with Scooby and Shaggy. Overall, this movie is unforgettable and honestly the best one out of them all.

I don't know where Imdb got the description for this movie, because it's nowhere close to the plot. What it's really about is the gang heading to Little Bat Town for a bat-themed vacation after they get an invite from Vincent Van Helsing, a less than famous horror writer. During a performance from a vampire loving theatre troupe, it appears that the soul of a real undead bloodsucker has broken free from his coffin. With various clues and suspects lurking around it takes a while to solve this mystery. The overall plot was pretty good, but the music was a little overdone. It kind of seemed like a last-minute add-on to get people's attention and wasn't really necessary.

In my honest opinion, then the 2012 "Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire" animated movie wasn't the brightest of moments in the Scooby-Doo franchise. Why is that? Well, personally I didn't care much for the musical element that was introduced here. It was just forced and didn't really have a natural place in the cartoon that various characters would spontaneously break out into song in often odd moments. Without going too deep into the storyline, I will just briefly summarize it here. Scooby-Doo and the gang go to Little Bat village for a vacation after their last solved mystery, as Velma wants to visit the local Vampire Festival. Meeting up with Vincent Van Helsing, what was supposed to be a quiet vacation turns into another mystery as it turns out that some vampire imitators summon forth an ancient vampire by the name of Valdronya. It should be said that the storyline was good, and the storyline itself was actually quite up to level with other animated Scooby-Doo movies. But it was just a shame that it was cut short by the musical elements. The animation and drawing style in the cartoon was good, and it had that unique Scooby-Doo feeling that we all love. And being an animated movie, then the voice acting is alpha and omega, and I will say that the talents they had on for the voice acting was good, and they were doing great jobs with their respective characters. It is always a treat to have Matthew Lillard voicing Shaggy and Frank Welker voicing Scooby-Doo. "Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire" certainly does have a place in the Scooby-Doo franchise, but it just wasn't one of the stronger pillars in the franchise.

The gang solves another mystery. The sewer adventure is too much for most of the team and Velma decides that everybody needs a vacation. She takes them to a town in the bayou founded by a Van Helsing. It's Vampire Palooza. The girls are eager to meet the author of Silverlight. Vincent Van Helsing's old fashion vampire book is not selling. Fangenschanz is a vampire themed performers. A seemingly real vampire is on the loose which attracts media attention and helps liven up the failing festival. The new animation style is fine although the colors are a bit too glossy. The greens are radioactive. I like the opening adventure in the sewers. I like the new adventure setup. A couple of plot elements do annoy me. I don't like Daphne as the damsel in distress. Daphne should be more than the girlie girl of the group. Along with being scared of roaches, it gets too stereotypical. I would also the group to have more time together solving the mystery. It's the best part of the group's chemistry. That's why I like the opening so much. Overall, this is pretty good but it's not a classic.

I have somehing with the song "Done with monsters" which has been sung by the gang while they were going to the vacation, I mean, I can't get it out of my mind anymore. That song is the thing that should NOT be. Honestly, the movie wasn't that bad, but this song was.
