Actually, ERod, Scooby's hometown changes with each incarnation. Coolsville was the name in A Pup Named Scooby Doo and the two live action films, but the most recent name in animation was Crystal Cove from Mystery Incorporated
I love Mystery Incorporated! When other shows were rehashing same idea for good or worst, that one actually did establish reasonable Scooby Doo lore. I hope they keep it!
@@JustinCoasters I don't know if you where watching the review, but the people writing it really didn't care, if I had to miss my guess, I'd say reusing an older character that they already had the copyrights/ trademarks for was more cost effective than coming up with a new one.
I don't see how it's confusing that Scooby is named after Scooby Snacks. Because the alternative is that somehow the Mystery Gang made, manufactured and distribute a popular snack food for both humans and animals.
The story behind Scoob's relationship to the snack changes constantly. Sometimes they're homemade, sometimes its an existing brand that asked Scooby for his likeness for marketing. Its pretty interesting.
11:20, actually, the REAL Blue-Falcon, a.k.a Radley Crowne, retired from crime fighting. The NEW Blue-Falcon is the OG B-F's son, Brian Crowne. The movie did explain that, which it'll happen in afew seconds.
You know, having the rest of the Mystery Gang get tricked into working with Dick Dastardly could've been an interesting plot point and could've been a better reason to break up the gang. Maybe Dick's in disguise and only Scooby suspects him, and only Shaggy believes Scooby's fear is justified. Maybe they try to contact the Blue Falcon to get his help, but accidentally contact his son instead. Wanting to prove himself, said son pretends to be the Blue Falcon and they team up. It... Wouldn't fix everything wrong with the script, but it would've been a little more interesting.
As someone who considers herself a very casual Scooby fan at best, this movie is way too complicated and contrived. I've seen Scooby and Shaggy meeting aliens, but mixing in all these other characters and high stakes and Greek Mythology is way too much!
I for one actually enjoy the fact they had Cerberus in a Scooby Doo movie, I wasn't even expecting it to happen and when it did I geeked out cuz I really like Greek myth
What’s so frustrating about this film is that, honestly, an Avengers style film centered around cartoon characters could work just fine if the material is right! The problem is that a good majority of the Hannah Barbera characters just aren’t that relevant anymore. If a film like this was done with, say, Nickelodeon’s roster (basically a film version of Nicktoons Unite), that could make for a great Spider-Verse/LEGO Movie style film if you think about it.
I might be mistaking, but I think Dastardly was bringing back Ancient Greece, not Ancient Rome. Seeing as how Athens, Alexander the Great and Cerberus are all Greek.
Not the first time they changed where the Scooby gang came from, Mystery Inc had them live in a town called Crystal Cove. Also if they're in Athens, Greece that Dick isn't bring back ANCIENT ROME back to life.
I agree with the point about how they should've kept the franchise cast as the main characters and have celebs voice the supporting characters, least the 2017 My Little Pony movie did exactly that
Teen Titans Go to the Movies did it well (say what you will about the show, the movie was decent). I wish they hadn't messed with the voice talent. Those voices are so iconic that when you mess with them, it affects the whole project...not that I think it would have saved this film alone.
To the detriment of the story and the series, since none of those characters could show up in Ponyville, and one had to have an identical cousin for that very reason.
Honestly the sonic the hedgehog movie did the same thing, they should've brought in roger craig smith or jaweel white to voice sonic again But the director only played the classic sonic games and not the other games and comics
@@BlackangelKatakuri Frank Welker not sounding like Scooby?? He's been trying to do the voice of Scooby since the early 2000s and still almost sounds like him. So I don't know what you're talking about.
In 2020, we got 2 versions of a Mystery solving family teaming up with a superhero to defeat a villain from a different franchise in order to set up an Extended Universe. How come this worked in DuckTales: Let's Get Dangerous! and not in Scoob!?
Honestly, if you want a good HB cinematic universe, they should have adapted that comic book series a while back with Space Ghost teaming up with all those other HB characters. That was badass.
A shared Hanna Barbara Universe, what a novel idea that has never been executed before. Sigh, oh well time to rewatch some Harvey Birdman. HA-HA Passive Aggression!
Jason Isaac also voiced the Emperor of the Skekses in Dark Crystal Age of Resistance and he played him perfectly. By the way, I'm so sad this show get cancelled.
This, along with the live action kinder camp movies and the 2010s direct to video movies, is proof that this franchise is no longer safe from the zeitgeist.
Agree! He has great lines, was a fun and likable character, had a role in the story unlike Captain Caveman who is just a cameo and the black girl who was with Blue Falcon; she was so bland that i forgot her name X) If the movie was about him and Brian, trying to understand each other and working as a team when they fight a cool villain; that would be awesome!
I felt bad for him, and a story about a trusty sidekick outliving his hero is a really sad Idea i kinda wanna see Also Brian could have worked if they introduced his charachter problem a lot earlyer about being scared to fill his fathers shoes, also tone down his needlessly large ego
In Athens, they restored Akropolis to it's past. So, you said Rome... They brought back ancient Greece. Roman empire was later in history. Also, gyros, Alexander, Cerberus, Athens.
The voice of Velma is currently the new VA of Carmen Sandiego so she does have some voice acting experience and Falcon's sidekick is actually a character from the 1970s Captain Caveman series
Ikr? It takes GREAT effort to make SCOOB! look like a masterpiece in comparison to that garbage reboot. Plus, I’d take Gina Rodriquez over Mindy Kaling any day.
I found the inclusion of Simon Cowell truly baffling tbh. I mean Scoob! wouldn't be the first movie that dates itself horribly with forced pop culture references but at least most of the time they try to include references that were considered hip at the time, not a cameo from a celebrity that fell out of style a decade ago.
Yeah he had NOTHING interresting or funny in this movie. It's not like David hasselhoff in the first Spongebob movie, he had a small role AND was entertaining! He was also a good joke in the movie. Simon is really unecessary, boring and lame XS
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 No. I really didn't like his cameo in the movie. Also, i'm not a fan of the actor; am not interrested by his life or movies. It's cool if you like him though :)
@@sadlobster1 Nope not that at all...they just never asked him to come back and decided not to tell him he was being recasted with a celebrity which Matt was not happy with neither was Grey Delisle who was the modern Daphne as opposed to the movie
@Lady R Of Rage My only nostalgic connection to Blue Falcon was his guest episode in Dexter's Lab, and like you, my reaction to him dabbing was:"Oh no..."
I'm of two minds on Scoob! I'm mindful that this is one of the post merger films, after WB et al was bought and rolled into AT&T. You see this a lot when studios merge, they release something that just seems to run out of steam halfway through like the Fox films after Disney bought it. There are some funny bits and some great easter eggs, but they are just few and far between to carry the film. And there are things missing that are just tragic. like Scooby Doo facing off against Muttley. How epic would that have been? Or if Blue Falcon was also the villain like in Space Race where the clean cut, square jawed heroic lunkhead is ALSO the gutter skunk weasel of a heel. I think the Pup Named Scooby Doo angle for the kids would be a worthy pursuit in an 11 minute format. I think the mysteries could be more in the mold of Encyclopedia Brown than Sherlock. I could even see a kind of Recess vibe where the gang helps cliques around the schoolyard against the tyranny of Red Herring or teachers.
The name of the town changes depending on the incarnation, I originally thought that Crystal Cove in Mystery Inc was a nod to Crescent Cove from Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Also i'm very disappointed that the man/demigod who clearly will always remain as Shaggy was not chosen to voice him, despite you know...him voicing the character ever since Mystery Inc.
2:11, What you said about the voice actors being replace is almost most true. The only ones that were replaced was Matthew Lillard, Grey Delisle Griffin, and Kate Micucci. Frank Welker still stay to voice Scooby-Doo in the movie, but not Fred. Just wanted to point that out.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 His mom and aunt were trying to get to the hospital to have the baby. She ended up having to give birth in their truck. Debating on what to call him, the camera zooms out, pans up and to the right to reveal a billboard for "100% Angus Beef". (End of scene.)
27:32 well, it didn't really so much as embraced the new (the new stuff in kid cartoons are killer soundtracks, nuance writing and even dipping into moral ambiguity) but trends. They tried to make scooby doo trendy for their hanna barbara universe.
13:20 You forgot he voiced Emperor SkekSo from the Dark Crystal prequel series. Jason Isaacs was one of the best choice actors for this movie. 17:53 Because your two friends are gone. 17:55 Friends, not your personal feeders. 😑 21:40 Falcon Punch, still funny. Seriously, I'm enjoying this review more than the actual movie. Lol
Jason Issac was Born to play Dick Dastardly, while Jim Carry was born to play Dr Eggman and I guess you know that Elizabeth Moss was in the episode See no evil from Batman the animated series
Blue Falcon and DynoMutt have been part of the Scooby franchise since their debut episode. They were originally part of an hour long show, 30 minutes of Scooby/30 minutes of Blue Falcon. The very first episode was a crossover.
Dexter the Nostalgia Toonster I assume they mean that they were both generally considered an attempted setup of a cinematic universe where the first movie felt hollow and didn’t make anyone actually excited for said universe.
I remember taking a shower after the moment where Shaggy and Scooby meet the Blue Falcon. This movie didn't hold my attention very well when I first saw it...
As I see it, the main problem with this film is that Warner Brothers was more interested in creating a shared cinematic universe than they were with telling a good story. The cameos were nice to see, but most of added next to nothing toward the overall plot.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Yes, I'm well aware of that. In fact, Warner Brothers (which is currently going by the name WarnerMedia) absorbed H-B in 1999. And of course, WB owns Looney Tunes. WB is the studio that *created* the Looney Tunes. But that doesn't change the fact that the story was all over the place and that the studios tried to establish an H-B shared universe much too soon. What's your point?
Erod. Have you seen anything from the ducktales reboot? Because if not then I definitely recommend watching "The Duck Knight Returns" and "Let's Get Dangerous" with it being where they bring the one and only darkwing duck into this shows universe. As a fan of Darkwing I would recommend seeing it
5:04 We only saw Shaggy and Scooby at home at night immediately after the beach scene; that doesn't mean they didn't go to his parents, ask to keep the dog, and then pick out a nice collar for him in between those shots.
You know something there is a Scooby Doo property that changes things around keeping the spirit: Mystery Incorporated. It both kept the basic formula while having an overarching narrative. And it has its own lore. The main characters also have good character development. They are from a different town and most of the series occurs in said town which helps develop the people from there. It is a fantastic series.
Basically a fully evolved next level concept for the franchise which hasn't been outdone since it ended. Be Cool and Guess Who did their own things being a comedy and a back to basics guest star take respectively. Mystery Inc was probably something that fans will love for years to come.
First of HB did have cinematic universe before people become aware of those (70's at least). So they don't need starting anything (it is same problem like with Werner screwing DCEU when they do have acclaimed DCAU). Secondary, if they want start anything build from good stuff like Mystery Incorporated, not reinvent the wheal.
10:30 "It's a good thing they finally decided to add an African American character to the franchise. It only took 50 years." Unless you count "Mighty Man and Yukk" from 1979. Mighty Man was a African American superhero, and also the world's SMALLEST superhero. His sidekick was Yukk, the world's UGLIEST dog. Created by Ruby and Spears who both worked at Hanna-Barbera as sound editors. However, the cartoon was made under Ruby-Spears Production after they branched off, so it's technically not a Hanna-Barbera property. But it does have that Hanna-Barbera quality to it.
Funny thing is HB basically created the extended universe back in the day! -_- LaffOlympics anyone?! They come in with this wrecking bomb... (wrecking ball mixed with a bomb it is that bad) and kill it instantly.
No, that was Valerie, and Josie and the Pussycats is an Archie comics property. Hanna-Barbera merely acquired the broadcasting rights to Josie in order to produce the TV show. Dee-Dee Skies is one of the Teen Angels from Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. FTR, the other two were Brenda Chance and Taffy Dare.
I feel bad for the current actors. I heard the voice actors were not happy about being replaced with celebrities. It’s distracting that Frank Welker is voicing Scooby yet he’s NOT voicing Fred Jones like in the series.
You do realise there were times during the 1980s where Frank Welker didn't voice Fred Jones, right?? He didn't voice Fred in The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo or A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, as well as some of the shows that include Scrappy-Doo in it! That includes Laff-a-Lympics, mostly Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue, Scooby-Doo meets the Boo Brothers, Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf and Scooby-Doo Arabian Knights!
DeeDee Skyes is actually another call back to an old Hanna-Barbera franchise. "Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels" was one of HB's many Scooby-Doo ripoffs from the 70s, with DeeDee being one of the Teen Angels.
So did The New Scooby-Doo Movies Laff-a-Lympics, Yogi's Ark Lark/Yogi's Gang, Yogi's Treasure Hunt, Yo Yogi, Scooby-Doo: Mask of the Blue-Falcon, Scooby-Doo Team Up and Scooby-Doo & Guess Who. In fact, they been doing that for almost 40+ years!
Not really. The Smurfs aren't Hanna-Barbera characters; H-B merely acquired the American rights to the characters in the 80's from Smurfs' creator Peyo Culliford and his estate to produce the Saturday Morning cartoon. Sony currently holds the American rights to the Smurfs. H-B's rights to the Smurfs expired long before 2017.
First of Hanna Barbera always have shared universe. Characters from they old cartoons were constantly bumping on each others. And it isn't about movies but the connections. If you ask my they should start with Mystery Incorporated (because it for first time actually established Scooby origin and has overall decent quality) and build from that.
12:10 “And here I am...without him.” He says like BF just up and left him and that’s why he’s stuck with Blue Flacon Adjacent... ... ... Fun fact all, Blue Falcon’s original long standing voice actor Gary Owens is dead...as of 2015...when this came out in 2020. And Maurice Lamarche apparently wasn’t celebrity enough to appear in this movie. Yeah 🖐 which finger, movie?
It's movies like this that make me think I should really go for screenwriting in Hollywood ... cuz if THIS script could get off the ground, then any old shmuck should be able to make it.
"Mystery Incorporated" did the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt dynamic WAY better. In that show Dynomutt was still a goofball, but Blue Falcon was made into a parody of the darker and more brutal iterations of Batman. This dynamic worked extremely well because Blue Falcon acting like he's in a edgy Frank Miller comic made for a hilarious contrast for the more light-hearted cartoonyness (especially Dynomutt) around him.
They also had a reference too Hong Kong Phooey when they were in Funland. He was on an arcade machine and if you look at the store names all around Coolsville theirs a lot more references too Hanna Barbera works.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 I know. I however didn’t see Jabberjaw, The Jetsons, The Flinstones, Josie and the Pussy Cats, Wacky Racers, Johnny Quest or Magilla Gorilla
How'd you knew the film would fail after watching the trailer if you didn't watch the actual movie itself?? If you didn't see the movie yet, then that means you couldn't tell if the film would be good or bad. So, if you were going to watch the movie right, you're going to say something like "This movie is so awesome and fun, I take back what I said about hating this movie". That'll be something you'll say.
Actually, ERod, Scooby's hometown changes with each incarnation. Coolsville was the name in A Pup Named Scooby Doo and the two live action films, but the most recent name in animation was Crystal Cove from Mystery Incorporated
Don't forget that Crystal Cove was also referenced in Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo!

Just saying.
27:32 well, it didn't really so much as embraced the new (the new stuff in kid cartoons are killer soundtracks, nuance writing and even dipping into moral ambiguity) but trends. They tried to make scooby doo trendy for their hanna barbara universe.
13:20 You forgot he voiced Emperor SkekSo from the Dark Crystal prequel series.
Jason Isaacs was one of the best choice actors for this movie.

Blue Falcon and DynoMutt have been part of the Scooby franchise since their debut episode. They were originally part of an hour long show, 30 minutes of Scooby/30 minutes of Blue Falcon. The very first episode was a crossover.
We all know that, so did I
It's sad this movie reminds me a lot of The Mummy (2017).
It does??
Dexter the Nostalgia Toonster I assume they mean that they were both generally considered an attempted setup of a cinematic universe where the first movie felt hollow and didn’t make anyone actually excited for said universe.
Haven’t seen the Mummy 2017 myself, but that’s just going off what I’ve heard.
@@mlsdreavusjargon6910 Same.
Still a better start than the 2017 Mummy movie was.
I remember taking a shower after the moment where Shaggy and Scooby meet the Blue Falcon.
This movie didn't hold my attention very well when I first saw it...
I think you meant to say is "The movie DID hold my attention very well when I first saw it......"
You can thank me for correcting you on that.
26:16 And I thought you didn't like any of the Scooby-Doo clones when you mentioned Captain Caveman.

As I see it, the main problem with this film is that Warner Brothers was more interested in creating a shared cinematic universe than they were with telling a good story. The cameos were nice to see, but most of added next to nothing toward the overall plot.
You do know that Warner Brothers own the rights to Hanna-Barbera, right??
Same with Looney Tunes and DC.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Yes, I'm well aware of that. In fact, Warner Brothers (which is currently going by the name WarnerMedia) absorbed H-B in 1999. And of course, WB owns Looney Tunes. WB is the studio that *created* the Looney Tunes. But that doesn't change the fact that the story was all over the place and that the studios tried to establish an H-B shared universe much too soon. What's your point?
@@Goldstar_ I just wanted to point that out.
@Sean Anderson There was a Dark Knight trilogy?
@Sean Anderson Never heard of him
Erod. Have you seen anything from the ducktales reboot? Because if not then I definitely recommend watching "The Duck Knight Returns" and "Let's Get Dangerous" with it being where they bring the one and only darkwing duck into this shows universe.
As a fan of Darkwing I would recommend seeing it
Man Voices Irrational Hatred for Scooby-Doo Once Again for Almost 30 Minutes. More at 11.
4:30 Kinda weird they didn't include Scooby's parents in this,they named him "Scoobert" on A Pup Named Scooby Doo.
5:04 We only saw Shaggy and Scooby at home at night immediately after the beach scene; that doesn't mean they didn't go to his parents, ask to keep the dog, and then pick out a nice collar for him in between those shots.
I agree.
I bet that's what happened.
I think Dee Dee is a reference to one of Capt Caveman’s Teen Angels.
You'd be correct.
She is. She's one of the Teen Angels. The other two were Taffy and Brenda.

You know something there is a Scooby Doo property that changes things around keeping the spirit: Mystery Incorporated. It both kept the basic formula while having an overarching narrative. And it has its own lore.
The main characters also have good character development. They are from a different town and most of the series occurs in said town which helps develop the people from there.
It is a fantastic series.
Basically a fully evolved next level concept for the franchise which hasn't been outdone since it ended. Be Cool and Guess Who did their own things being a comedy and a back to basics guest star take respectively. Mystery Inc was probably something that fans will love for years to come.
@@ConsoleWarriors Yes. Like you say.
Actually Dee Dee Skyes was from Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.
Not his fault he didn't knew that when he was reviewing the film.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 could have done research in post
@@kylenielsen5083 Why didn't he do that before he did the review?
This is definately not a good start to the HB Cinematic universe. It definately could’ve been better.
Yes it is.
First of HB did have cinematic universe before people become aware of those (70's at least). So they don't need starting anything (it is same problem like with Werner screwing DCEU when they do have acclaimed DCAU). Secondary, if they want start anything build from good stuff like Mystery Incorporated, not reinvent the wheal.
@@TheRezro true. Infact I call it a guilty pleasure as I at least watch this film with a curious mind. As I am aware of what went on with the film.
Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated did the concept of a HB universe and did it well.
@@andrewdau1299 I agree
Shame they never had Captain Caveman use his famous trademark Mel Blanc yell.

15:23 THAT was one of the best uses of a scene from Evil Dead 2 i've ever seen. Well done XD
20:28 Dude! Opposite reaction. Much respect!
For the longest time, I thought that the Blue Falcon was just a character from Dexter's Laboratory and didn't know he had his own show.
Looks like you didn't watch the original Dynomutt & Blue-Falcon cartoon show.
10:30 "It's a good thing they finally decided to add an African American character to the franchise. It only took 50 years."
Unless you count "Mighty Man and Yukk" from 1979. Mighty Man was a African American superhero, and also the world's SMALLEST superhero. His sidekick was Yukk, the world's UGLIEST dog.
Created by Ruby and Spears who both worked at Hanna-Barbera as sound editors. However, the cartoon was made under Ruby-Spears Production after they branched off, so it's technically not a Hanna-Barbera property. But it does have that Hanna-Barbera quality to it.
A Warner Bros owned property just name dropped the avengers?

Funny thing is HB basically created the extended universe back in the day! -_- LaffOlympics anyone?! They come in with this wrecking bomb... (wrecking ball mixed with a bomb it is that bad) and kill it instantly.
It's the perfect example of a movie made by people who never watched a single Hanna-Barbera cartoon in their lives...
I mean Casey Kasem has since passed away
Dee Dee’s not new to this movie. She’s a member of Josie and the Pussycats.
@ Tell The Ponderer that Dee Dee Sykes IS NOT from Josie and the Pussycats.
She's from Captain Caveman & The Teen Angels.
No, that was Valerie, and Josie and the Pussycats is an Archie comics property. Hanna-Barbera merely acquired the broadcasting rights to Josie in order to produce the TV show. Dee-Dee Skies is one of the Teen Angels from Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. FTR, the other two were Brenda Chance and Taffy Dare.
@@Goldstar_ That's what I told the other guy to remind the Ponderer that!
12:24 Between this and The Lion King remake, why do they keep misusing Community actors in animated films?
This movie reminds me of the new Mummy movie. Both try to shove in their respect cinematic universes in the first outings, but failed.
Scoob! never failed to start a Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe.
I give it an A+++ for doing a swell job.
I feel bad for the current actors. I heard the voice actors were not happy about being replaced with celebrities. It’s distracting that Frank Welker is voicing Scooby yet he’s NOT voicing Fred Jones like in the series.
Yep and it would have been cheaper too .
You do realise there were times during the 1980s where Frank Welker didn't voice Fred Jones, right??
He didn't voice Fred in The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo or A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, as well as some of the shows that include Scrappy-Doo in it!
That includes Laff-a-Lympics, mostly Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue, Scooby-Doo meets the Boo Brothers, Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf and Scooby-Doo Arabian Knights!
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 okay I meant to say Frank Welkers been voicing Fred Currently.
@@michaelmcjunkin1372 Much better.

Edit: Lunch time and really enjoying the review man.
if they needed an investor, why didn't they ask Shaggy's family, they are as loaded as a texas oil baron who has ties to damn near everything.
Really?
also, why is fred still driving the Mystery machine when Shaggy is the owner?
strong disagreement with the implication that the sequal trilogy did the originals any more justice than this movie did Scooby doo.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg. That's a timeless joke.

@@viktorriquelme3735 She died earlier this year.
DeeDee Skyes is actually another call back to an old Hanna-Barbera franchise. "Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels" was one of HB's many Scooby-Doo ripoffs from the 70s, with DeeDee being one of the Teen Angels.
Not his fault for not knowing that.
People bond over gyros. The movie got this right!
To be fair the smurfs and the lost village 2017 started the trend for hanna Barbara universe first
So did The New Scooby-Doo Movies Laff-a-Lympics, Yogi's Ark Lark/Yogi's Gang, Yogi's Treasure Hunt, Yo Yogi, Scooby-Doo: Mask of the Blue-Falcon, Scooby-Doo Team Up and Scooby-Doo & Guess Who.
In fact, they been doing that for almost 40+ years!
Not really. The Smurfs aren't Hanna-Barbera characters; H-B merely acquired the American rights to the characters in the 80's from Smurfs' creator Peyo Culliford and his estate to produce the Saturday Morning cartoon. Sony currently holds the American rights to the Smurfs. H-B's rights to the Smurfs expired long before 2017.
First of Hanna Barbera always have shared universe. Characters from they old cartoons were constantly bumping on each others. And it isn't about movies but the connections. If you ask my they should start with Mystery Incorporated (because it for first time actually established Scooby origin and has overall decent quality) and build from that.

Fun fact all, Blue Falcon’s original long standing voice actor Gary Owens is dead...as of 2015...when this came out in 2020. And Maurice Lamarche apparently wasn’t celebrity enough to appear in this movie.
Yeah 🖐 which finger, movie?
Sooooo They stopped the pidgon?
It's movies like this that make me think I should really go for screenwriting in Hollywood ... cuz if THIS script could get off the ground, then any old shmuck should be able to make it.
"Mystery Incorporated" did the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt dynamic WAY better. In that show Dynomutt was still a goofball, but Blue Falcon was made into a parody of the darker and more brutal iterations of Batman.
This dynamic worked extremely well because Blue Falcon acting like he's in a edgy Frank Miller comic made for a hilarious contrast for the more light-hearted cartoonyness (especially Dynomutt) around him.
What’s wrong with BVS ultimate edition is up there with the mcu movies
They also had a reference too Hong Kong Phooey when they were in Funland. He was on an arcade machine and if you look at the store names all around Coolsville theirs a lot more references too Hanna Barbera works.
There were also more Hanna-Barbera characters.

How'd you knew the film would fail after watching the trailer if you didn't watch the actual movie itself??
If you didn't see the movie yet, then that means you couldn't tell if the film would be good or bad.
So, if you were going to watch the movie right, you're going to say something like "This movie is so awesome and fun, I take back what I said about hating this movie".
That'll be something you'll say.
