DVD Reviews of Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire
DVD Review: May Actually Be Scooby's Best Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you follow my reviews, you know that I really liked "Scooby Doo On Zombie Island" and "Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost." I didn't much care for "The Alien Invaders" or "Cyber Chase." And the less said of the live movie, the better. This brings us to chapter 5. While "Zombie Island" will probably always be the best to me, this 5th chapter brings about the right compromise. It tones Scooby Doo back down to a safe level for children, but it still has mystery, suspense, and a good impact. Before our gang comes on the screen, Daniel is getting ready for a rock concert, but a 'would be' performer is seemingly kidnapped by vampires. Our favorite gang goes on a vacation to Australia to see a rock concert. And a really great treat is that while Frank Welker never abandoned his role as Fred, he is rejoined by original cast members Heather North (Daphne), Nicole Jaffee (Velmah), and Casey Kasem (Shaggy). (GREAT!) Well, when they get to the concert site, they run into the Hex Girls from "Scooby Doo and the Witch's ghost." (Nice continuity.) They also meet Daniel and Rus who warn them of the disappearances. Rus gives the legend behind the disappearances and we are permitted to wonder if the legend is real or if we are dealing with a bad guy in a mask. (If we watched "Zombie Island" and "Witch's Ghost," we know that the supernatural is at least a possibility now.)The gang decides to disguise themselves as another rock band to see if they can find out what is going on. They later meet a rival band (Bad Omens) who are not overly nice as well as their manager Jasper who is an opportunist, but not necessarily a bad person. Soon afterwards, we meet the 'head vampire' again, and learn that he has 3 'friends.' We are lead to suspect that the not so nice Bad Omens may be them, but circumstances later remove that as a possible conclusion. So, our gang must look elsewhere or be willing to accept that the vampires are real. Unlike "Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders" or "Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase" this mystery is not so obvious. The gang's case takes on a more personal nature when their friends the Hex Girls disappear. Without ruining the ending, we are given the familiar search with some new twists. The soundtrack, though not quite on par with that of "Zombie Island" seems to make a comeback from "Alien Invaders" and "Cyber Chase." The gang's final confrontation is certainly toned down from "Zombie Island" and "Witch's Ghost." But it does rise back to acceptable levels that carefully balance tension and comedy. (Being that the original cast is back, they probably could not resist having a scene where Fred carries the whole gang! And in a sense, Frank Welker did help to carry Scooby Doo as he remained the voice of Fred through a number of different supporting actors.) The conclusion is a little more than we would have expected, and it does seem appropriate that the reunified cast gives a great performance of the Scooby Doo theme. The original cast would remain together to perform the next movie. (Chap # 6 "Monster of Mexico") And even though this 6th chapter is not as good, it's probably worth it just to see (or hear) the original cast together one more time. FINAL NOTE: Even if like me, you were disappointed with "Alien Invaders," "Cyber Chase," and the horrible live movie, DO NOT overlook this 5th chapter. It is a well done return to form, and may actually be Scooby's best movie!
