We actually just rewatched this movie a few weeks ago. The reason Velma’s wardrobe changes is that they’re brainwashing the monsters into looking and behaving like average teenagers. It actually makes a lot of sense why Velma’s wardrobe changed while her soul was out of her body, it wasn’t her. She was being changed to look more modern/with the times. And immediately in the next scenes after she gets her soul back she’s back in her usual attire that fits her personality more.
@notville_ Wait, I remember reading your comment on the rotten mango channel recently. I just wanna say that I appreciate your respectfulness when you comment.
It's not the monster's breath that takes the souls, that just knocks people out. The artifact that Daphne found, that we later see on Scrappy's chest is how the soul stealing happened. That's why the monsters needed to carry the bodies to a different location
2 cool facts abt this movie that are pretty well known but still fun: 1. A couple of years after this movie, Matthew Lillard became the main voice actor for Shaggy Rogers 2. The actors for Fred and Daphne were a couple in real life and got married the same year that this movie came out, they're still married and have kids now. :,)
@@powerviolentnightmare5026that's exactly what I was thinking. These Scooby-Doo fans seem to not realize the amount of fame that both FPJ and SMG had in the late 90s and early 2000s, where they were staples of their genre. It's like they think of Scooby-Doo as being the reason that both actors are even famous and that it was responsible for them becoming a couple. This is obviously completely wrong, as they were both typecast as stand-ins for high schoolers.
I was in the art department for this movie. Pulled my first 72 hour day. Pretty crazy. Something like 5 years later Matthew Lillard was in a play next door to the theater I was a stage manager at and he actually remembered me. lol.
Oh man. Yea, the animation team. I’m 90% sure they were literally slaves in China from the stories the Production Designer said after visiting the studio.
Actually he was the man behind the mask first (Scream) then went to solving mysteries of people behind the mask (scooby doo) then went BACK to being the man being the slaughter- I mean mask (fnaf) Which makes it funnier in a way
literally one of the best pieces of scooby doo media and no one can tell me otherwise. it also has a sequel and i love both and the sequel also has a scene that i couldnt stop thinking about for years until i rewatched the second movie (it was the scene with the potions in the fridge)
I don't know why I was obsessed with the sensory aspect of the sequel. Like Daphne's cute little fingerprint scanner, the scene where they crawl around hiding with Velma... Idk why but I kept rewatching it for these particular scenes, it felt like an alternative reality where everything sensory was dulled and made better lol. I remember crawling around hiding like Velma trying to replicate the muffled tip taps from the movie X) Can't believe I had to wait 19 years for my autism diagnosis lmao
The dude on the beach isn't just some crazy voodoo guy he is the last remaining native of the people that were driven out to make the theme park. He is supposed to represent the people that were driven out and you know having knowledge that no one else would have because he saw the whole part getting created
I feel like she’s missing some major points that weren’t explicitly stated. That fact about the indigenous man was subtle but I picked up on that fact as I got older. Same with the change in Velma’s costume. It wasn’t obviously stated, but supposed to be understood.
Wow, okay, I loved this movie growing up, and I still do. I couldn’t possibly count how many times I’ve seen it. I’ve still got it on DVD 😅. But I never caught this. And it’s so weird, because as soon as I read your comment, so many details instantly clicked, and now I just feel stupid for never putting it together on my own. Thank you for this.
@@frozenuruguayball6436the monsters are being trained to act like everyday teenagers. The monsters just tried to update her look to match modern times. They change Fred’s clothes too.
This and the sequel are so great because they know how unserious and silly they are. And they absolutely RUN with it. No matter how stupid some of the scenes and cgi are, you can tell everyone had so much fun being a part of it. It leans so far into the silliness of scooby doo that it makes an incredibly fun watch whether you’re a kid laughing at all the fart jokes or an adult picking up on everything that flies over kids heads.
Movies don't have to be 10/10 masterpieces in story and visuals, they just have to be fun. It really runs with the fun aspect, cranks it to 11 and it comes out to a great movie. It's like A Christmas Story. It's very 'cringe', but since it KNOWS it is and rolls with that aspect, it comes out to a great movie.
About the voodoo guy- I always saw him as an immersion actor whose job it was to do spooky things and interact with guests when they encounter him. So pretty much a haunted house actor. Daphne was investigating but she was also a guest so he kept up his character act while talking to her.
He's supposed to be a real voodoo practitioner leftover from the natives that were pushed off the island to make room for a voodoo theme park. Like stealing native land to make a native themed casino. That's why he's the only black guy, not part of the park, alone on a distant beach, and practicing actual voodoo.
This movie had an actual impact on Daphne as a character in the franchise. In the cartoon movies and video games following she was the martial artist of the group and actually brought something to the table instead of being the damsel in distress and I got to grow up with Daphne as the cool confident fighter. This movie is pure cinema and deserves respect
Daphne already had martial arts skills in Cyber Chase. I'd argue that the 2002 film's 'female empowerment' arc was handled in an incredibly cheesy way.
These two movies are genuinely fantastic. I remember liking the characters a lot more afterwards. Velma asking her date "Who's your mommy?" in the second one may or may not have had something to do with it, but they were great either way!
The monster breath just knocks out the people, they need the machine to pull the human souls out and transfer the monster soul into the the soulless vessel. So they are dragging everyone off in that scene cause the monsters are bringing them into the cavern to have that crane thing pull their souls out.
I honestly used to watch this film at least once a month with my housemates in uni so idk if this movie would be considered good but to me its a masterpiece - still quote some of it every day with my partner, notably I got some hamburgers for ya at least once a day
If my kids ever ask me what it was like to grow up in the early 2000s, I’m just gonna show them this movie. Nothing else I know of encapsulates the feeling of the era quite so well.
So I hate to be this person but there actually is a reason that velma is dressed like that. The college students are getting possessed by monsters after their souks are being stolen and they make them act like "modern young adults" which includes making them talk in aave and dressing more like this lol. There is actually a deleted scene where velma is dancing on a bar while possessed.
Actually, this movie was originally meant for an older audience. And Velma's Wardrobe Change happened in a deleted scene that didn't make it into the final cut. There was A LOT cut out of this movie and a lot more that never even made it into the Film Production. But her Wardrobe absolutely makes sense when you look into the background and History of this movie and it's deleted/not even included scenes. Oh, and did I mention that a lot of scenes were RE-SHOT.... Like that scene with the BBQ Pit and the smoke coming out the top.... Let's just say the ORIGINAL Scene was mu h more 420 Friendly..! 😂 🤣
This movie is truly a touchstone of our cultural generation. Watched this so many times on DVD, and I remember seeing the second movie in the theaters. I love the fan theory that Monsters Unleashed is actually a prequel to the first one
I watched both so many times as a kid, and for the longest time I thought monsters unleashed was the first one - I seriously thought they broke up in between movies instead of randomly at the start of the first lol
James Gunn didn't direct that Suicide Squad (the bad one) he directed THE Suicide Squad (the good one) which is probably the best DC movie from the last 10 years
4:54 made me finally realize as a 20 year old man that Matthew Lillard had to pretend to look at a dog the whole time. Like I know that Scooby Doo isn't real but I never really thought about it 🤔🤔
For me, it was NOT a fever dream It was an addictive nightmare. I got so scared to sleep at night, even woke up a few times yet I kept coming back to it
I vividly remember this movie because they would play it all the time on TV and I would watch it every single time because I loved it. I remember many details.
So this film was originally meant to be a dark comedy satire of scooby doo. Then the studio got involved and said it needed to be a kids film. So the "bad" decisions were actually quite intentional and funny, but the comedy of them got lost as the studio got more influence.
I unironically love this movie, when I was little I watched it so many times, quoted it constantly, reenacted scenes and even watched all the out takes and making of content on the DVD.
That artifact that daphne finds is very important to the plot. Scrappy has it on his chest in the final scene to steal souls. How can you miss that Gabi... they even have a scene in the woods where they swap souls when shaggy brings it to them when they are in the wrong bodies
So, according to James Gun's Twitter, Velma was supposed to be a lesbian eyeing Daphne, who was bi, Fred was gay, and Shaggy and Scooby were stoners. The movie was then changed after a couple parents were "outraged" at a local test screening. So i hope that highlights some stuff. It was supposed to be an adult comedy but had to undergo several re-writes in order to please the conservatives who wanted their kids to go and see scooby doo
Wait was Fred actually going to be gay? The closest I remember to that was when I read the original script, and in it Daphne gets angry and tells Fred his ascot makes him look gay, which is….very early 2000s to say the least
@@amandah661 yes and according to Freddie Prinze Junior, he said "f7ck the studio" and portrayed Fred as a gay man as best as he could. Now with all of this info in mind, rewatch the movie and tell me what you see.
Well, actually the Mr. Bean's character already owned the island/etc, Scrappy took over. He said something about Scrappy showing up for an "Audition for our evil elves" or something, but it was like half-mumbled IIRC so it's easy to miss. The rest of the Scrappy plan is a bit odd still. Also, I had this on during work so sorry if I missed you mentioning, but the other reason they had Daphne in that really fun fight scene is she was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Buffy, and this filmed/released was during the show's run (IIRC Buffy ended in 03). My mom and I would watch both this and it's sequel (which is admittedly better in every single way) so many times when I was growing up. I still love them and they are the best kind of dumb fun. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was rerun a TON until like the mid-00s, especially in the late mornings. It was commonly my "I'm home sick" cartoon as a kid. Also, I'm pretty sure the filming was all done before 9/11 happened, which is why Scooby could do *that* and not get stopped by airport security. People forget (and I barely have any memory of it myself, honestly) that a lot of airports used to be SUPER lax. Linda Cardellini (Velma) would later voice Marcie in the '10s series Mystery Incorporated, who was a villain/rival of Velma's, then later a friend with *implications* that was later confirmed by creators to be intended/written to be Velma's girlfriend but had to tone it down as well.
Im gonna be honest, i never found this movie confusing haha. I rewatched it about a year ago and still love it! But about Daphne kicking ass, her actress has a brown belt in karate which is why she got the role of Buffy, so I guess they wanted to actually make use of that and i respect it ❤
Yea its a cartoon but live action. Once you accept that it flows perfectly well. Like your watching the scooby version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (which i would totally watch now that i say it. Everything is exactly the same but swap PI guy for the scooby gang lol)
I remember about 4 things off the top of my head about this Daphne vs masked wrestler, Shaggy's crush, clown ghost at the start, and Shaggy and Scooby-Doo's weed food joke
Those rabbit monsters look pretty good, like Jim Henson animatronics or Will Vinton's claymation. I think Scooby himself just has an Uncanny Valley look because he's super cartoony while being just realistic enough... Like the earlier character design from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
The Scooby live action Duology is INCREDIBLE and I'll always love it. The second movie is like THE (second) MOST IMPORTANT movie of my childhood, losing only to Spider Man 2, and I can definitely relate to that "my mom doesn't remember it" part, a couple of months ago she asked me to put on some dumb fun movie for her and she legit didn't remember ANYTHING about the movie, even though I still quote it on the daily
If I had a nickel for every UA-camr I’m subscribed to who covered the live action Scooby-Doo movies this week while dressed like Velma, I’d have two nickels-which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I went to the see the second one in theater with my family and I was in kindergarten at the time. One of the opening museum scenes scared me so my mom and I switched theaters to see Home on the Range. Re watching the movie I still can't point out exactly what sequence made me cry.
this movie is so iconic and nostalgic for me, I literally watch it like once a year,, but hearing the plot described from an outside perspective has made me realize how much more wild this movie was than I realized,, the chaos has just been so normalized to me, that being said I still think it's a movie everyone needs to experience in adulthood at least once
Whenever Scooby Doo is mentioned, my mind flashes back to this movie, as I too was really into it as a kid, even though my memories of it are about as little and vague as Gabi's. I remember a bunch of dumb weed jokes that my child self didn't understand and I remember really liking Velma and thinking she was cool but not yet understanding that I was actually just being very gay for her.
I was legitimately traumatized by the daphne-Fred body swap as a kid. I felt so horrified by the idea of someone taking over my body to do things like that. I didn’t even know what sex was at that time but I could tell that was something very dirty and wrong
I'm a bit older and remember this movie completely. I adore this damn film. They had the most perfect cast they could ever get for such a thing. You may disagree but I think it still holds up pretty well. A pup name scooby was also a good time. Not one of the best they've got though.
I watched this movie so many times and watched Buffy and until two weeks ago it never clicked that Sarah Michelle played Daphne. I’m truly ashamed of myself.
It was supposed to be rated R. They're talking about coming out with another one that's going to be rated R but I think they should just remaster this one and put in the scenes they took out
9:26 Hey, just so you are aware, there was a deleted scene on how they extract the souls from the bodies and the monster take over. The monsters were taking the unconscious bodies back to the cave from soul extraction using that pryramind thing Daphne finds earlier in the movie. It got cut because it was deemed "too traumatizing" for children.
I never forget those movies. I try to show them to everyone I know and randomly quote them. Maybe it's because I love Scooby Doo and Mathew Lillard was so hot as Shaggy
It's somehow even funnier to watch this just a few days after watching the fnaf movie, I never forgot Mathew Lillard was Shaggy, but it's much more vivid to see him again 😂
Quick correction at the end: James Gunn didn't direct Suicide Squad (2016), he directed The Suicide Squad (2021). Only pointing this out because the 2021 one was leagues better than the original. Like it's wild how vastly different the two films are
I LOVE Sugar Ray and Simple Plan. I love the live action movie so much it like teleports me back to a happy place lmao I adore Scooby Doo in general, thank you for doing this lol best video I have seen today.
I visited the island where it was filmed last week and it is iconic the real life spooky island is called moreton island in Queensland Australia and it is like stepping into this movie. Childhood me was sceaming
I loved this film so much as a kid I watched it five times in a row one morning! Watching it again, it's fd up how we watch scooby's soul get ripped from his body...
Packed midnight screening of this last year was awesome. Tim Curry was offered the villain role, but he already hated Scrappy Doo from the series and turned it down 😂
I remember watching this with my little siblings a few years ago and they all absolutely loved laughing at it. Like I don’t think they even got the jokes, the CGI was just so awkward it was funny to them. They were literally 4 and 6 (the 4 year old was only watching it because you know damn well my parents aren’t paying me enough to chase her around the house 🙁), they hadn’t even watched enough movies to compare the CGI to better CGI 😭
I can definitely see Ryan Gosling playing Fred in a Scooby-Doo live-action reboot. Maybe in an alternate universe, Oppenheimer would’ve competed with Scooby-Doo, with Ryan Gosling as Fred and Margot Robbie as Daphne 🤣 And yeah, Mr. Bean is an comedy icon 👌
The monsters breath doesn't take their souls, it just knocks them out. The machine with the claw takes their soul. So, you're right that you didnt understand the movie, even as an adult lol
James Gunn originally wanted to make this an adult comedy that parodies the conventions of Scooby Doo, and it shows.
In a way I’m glad it wasn’t and also wish it was at the same time

Plus, the monsters can't exist in sunlight, it overloads them and annihilates them
They use bodies as vessels to exist safely
scrappy didnt buy an island he just kidnapped the guy who owns it, mr bean is the guy who owns the theme park.

James Gunn actually directed the 2021 The Suicide Squad not the 2016 Suicide Squad, that was done by David Ayer
This movie will always hold a place in my heart. Still love and enjoy it as an adult.
Ngl, that "Melvin Doo" bit still gets a pretty sharp exhale out of my nose.
So this film was originally meant to be a dark comedy satire of scooby doo. Then the studio got involved and said it needed to be a kids film. So the "bad" decisions were actually quite intentional and funny, but the comedy of them got lost as the studio got more influence.
james gunn didn't direct the "suicide squad" he direct "the suicide squad". it's not confusing at all
I unironically love this movie, when I was little I watched it so many times, quoted it constantly, reenacted scenes and even watched all the out takes and making of content on the DVD.
That artifact that daphne finds is very important to the plot. Scrappy has it on his chest in the final scene to steal souls. How can you miss that Gabi... they even have a scene in the woods where they swap souls when shaggy brings it to them when they are in the wrong bodies
small correction: James Gunn wrote the good Suicide Squad. great video, Velma!!
Gabi! Please watch the second one! It's so camp and leans hard into the silliness of Scooby-Doo!
3:25 because even though TSA was founded in 2001 people didn't start taking their shoes off until Aug 10th of 2006.
6:15 maybe i was a dumb kid? Because this movie made perfect sense
So, according to James Gun's Twitter, Velma was supposed to be a lesbian eyeing Daphne, who was bi, Fred was gay, and Shaggy and Scooby were stoners. The movie was then changed after a couple parents were "outraged" at a local test screening. So i hope that highlights some stuff. It was supposed to be an adult comedy but had to undergo several re-writes in order to please the conservatives who wanted their kids to go and see scooby doo
the desperation i feel needing to see this version of scooby doo now. why do conservative parents have to ruin our fun
@@supposedlymel I mean in a scooby doo animated movie Velma came out of lesbian so Ig you could watch that
Wait was Fred actually going to be gay? The closest I remember to that was when I read the original script, and in it Daphne gets angry and tells Fred his ascot makes him look gay, which is….very early 2000s to say the least
@@supposedlymel I hope we can get them to do that
@@amandah661 yes and according to Freddie Prinze Junior, he said "f7ck the studio" and portrayed Fred as a gay man as best as he could. Now with all of this info in mind, rewatch the movie and tell me what you see.
Well, actually the Mr. Bean's character already owned the island/etc, Scrappy took over. He said something about Scrappy showing up for an "Audition for our evil elves" or something, but it was like half-mumbled IIRC so it's easy to miss. The rest of the Scrappy plan is a bit odd still. Also, I had this on during work so sorry if I missed you mentioning, but the other reason they had Daphne in that really fun fight scene is she was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Buffy, and this filmed/released was during the show's run (IIRC Buffy ended in 03).
My mom and I would watch both this and it's sequel (which is admittedly better in every single way) so many times when I was growing up. I still love them and they are the best kind of dumb fun. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was rerun a TON until like the mid-00s, especially in the late mornings. It was commonly my "I'm home sick" cartoon as a kid.
Also, I'm pretty sure the filming was all done before 9/11 happened, which is why Scooby could do *that* and not get stopped by airport security. People forget (and I barely have any memory of it myself, honestly) that a lot of airports used to be SUPER lax.
Linda Cardellini (Velma) would later voice Marcie in the '10s series Mystery Incorporated, who was a villain/rival of Velma's, then later a friend with *implications* that was later confirmed by creators to be intended/written to be Velma's girlfriend but had to tone it down as well.
Im gonna be honest, i never found this movie confusing haha. I rewatched it about a year ago and still love it!
But about Daphne kicking ass, her actress has a brown belt in karate which is why she got the role of Buffy, so I guess they wanted to actually make use of that and i respect it ❤
And Buffy was still in its late seasons!
Yea its a cartoon but live action. Once you accept that it flows perfectly well. Like your watching the scooby version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (which i would totally watch now that i say it. Everything is exactly the same but swap PI guy for the scooby gang lol)
I remember about 4 things off the top of my head about this Daphne vs masked wrestler, Shaggy's crush, clown ghost at the start, and Shaggy and Scooby-Doo's weed food joke
Popular bands performing randomly in movies was really popular in the 2000s. Like Macy Gray performing in Spider-Man
“Nothing makes sense. I’m having a blast.”
That is exactly how I would put this movie.
Is it just me or does the CGI actually not look that bad...? It looks great to me, especially for the time.
Those rabbit monsters look pretty good, like Jim Henson animatronics or Will Vinton's claymation. I think Scooby himself just has an Uncanny Valley look because he's super cartoony while being just realistic enough... Like the earlier character design from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
It's pretty bad, it's fine if you like the movie but CGI looks really fake, regardless of realise date
@notville_why did you copy the comment above you?
when you compare it to The Mummy Returns, everything looks great xD
@notville_ what are you talking about
The Scooby live action Duology is INCREDIBLE and I'll always love it. The second movie is like THE (second) MOST IMPORTANT movie of my childhood, losing only to Spider Man 2, and I can definitely relate to that "my mom doesn't remember it" part, a couple of months ago she asked me to put on some dumb fun movie for her and she legit didn't remember ANYTHING about the movie, even though I still quote it on the daily
Rotten tomatoes can say what they want, this movie is my childhood
I love this movie with a passion and the Monster Chant song still lives on in my head 22 years later
If I had a nickel for every UA-camr I’m subscribed to who covered the live action Scooby-Doo movies this week while dressed like Velma, I’d have two nickels-which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I went to the see the second one in theater with my family and I was in kindergarten at the time. One of the opening museum scenes scared me so my mom and I switched theaters to see Home on the Range. Re watching the movie I still can't point out exactly what sequence made me cry.
Probably the pterodactyl ghost, that thing was pretty spooky
this movie is so iconic and nostalgic for me, I literally watch it like once a year,, but hearing the plot described from an outside perspective has made me realize how much more wild this movie was than I realized,, the chaos has just been so normalized to me, that being said I still think it's a movie everyone needs to experience in adulthood at least once
David Ayer directed 2016’s ‘masterpiece’ Suicide Squad. James Gunn made The Suicide Squad in 2021.
Whenever Scooby Doo is mentioned, my mind flashes back to this movie, as I too was really into it as a kid, even though my memories of it are about as little and vague as Gabi's. I remember a bunch of dumb weed jokes that my child self didn't understand and I remember really liking Velma and thinking she was cool but not yet understanding that I was actually just being very gay for her.
The way Heath Ledger reinvented the Joker is the way Matthew Lilard reinvented the character of Shaggy
True acting at its finest
I was legitimately traumatized by the daphne-Fred body swap as a kid. I felt so horrified by the idea of someone taking over my body to do things like that. I didn’t even know what sex was at that time but I could tell that was something very dirty and wrong
Yes this!
NGL, I thought it was hilarious then, and I still think it's hilarious now.
@@HeathsHarleyQuinn finding sexual assault funny says a lot
I'm a bit older and remember this movie completely. I adore this damn film. They had the most perfect cast they could ever get for such a thing. You may disagree but I think it still holds up pretty well.
A pup name scooby was also a good time. Not one of the best they've got though.
This and the second scooby doo are unironically 2 of my favorite movies
James Gunn didn't write nor direct that suicide squad. He made the far superior sequel/reboot.
every time i look back on this movie i legit think i’m dreaming all over again lmao
I watched this movie so many times and watched Buffy and until two weeks ago it never clicked that Sarah Michelle played Daphne. I’m truly ashamed of myself.
It was supposed to be rated R. They're talking about coming out with another one that's going to be rated R but I think they should just remaster this one and put in the scenes they took out
i was so obsessed with this film growing up. i still love it and find it a great movie that doesn't take itself too seriously to be overly cringe.
9:26 Hey, just so you are aware, there was a deleted scene on how they extract the souls from the bodies and the monster take over. The monsters were taking the unconscious bodies back to the cave from soul extraction using that pryramind thing Daphne finds earlier in the movie. It got cut because it was deemed "too traumatizing" for children.
I never forget those movies. I try to show them to everyone I know and randomly quote them. Maybe it's because I love Scooby Doo and Mathew Lillard was so hot as Shaggy
I watched this movie so much as a kid that the dvd is now extremely worn down... my life makes a lot of sense now
Linda Cardellini definitely awakened something in me as a kid
Lmaoooo this took me back🤣🤣🤣🤣 and you nailed your costume🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
12:04 SCOOBY GOT UPSET 🤣
True lol
this is STILL one of my favorite movies to this day lmao. my step dad pulled me out of school to see it in theaters jffhbfh
It's somehow even funnier to watch this just a few days after watching the fnaf movie, I never forgot Mathew Lillard was Shaggy, but it's much more vivid to see him again 😂
This is literally my favorite movie ever. When I saw that it doesn't have rave reviews I was SHOCKED. I watch it at least a couple times a year 😅
I absolutely love all of the scooby doo live action movies. I remember so much of it
Shaggy just putting the dudes soul back in the cauldron was probably the most evil thing in this movie
How could've you forgotten this movie! It's so iconic, some scenes are a core memory in my brain
I agreee!!! The crane game scene is something I will always remember and the dark ride scene too
We can all agree that Gabby nails this Velma costume.
I'm 43 and loved this movie when my daughter was young. We watched it a million times.
Quick correction at the end: James Gunn didn't direct Suicide Squad (2016), he directed The Suicide Squad (2021). Only pointing this out because the 2021 one was leagues better than the original. Like it's wild how vastly different the two films are
I LOVE Sugar Ray and Simple Plan. I love the live action movie so much it like teleports me back to a happy place lmao I adore Scooby Doo in general, thank you for doing this lol best video I have seen today.
I visited the island where it was filmed last week and it is iconic the real life spooky island is called moreton island in Queensland Australia and it is like stepping into this movie. Childhood me was sceaming
I loved this film so much as a kid I watched it five times in a row one morning! Watching it again, it's fd up how we watch scooby's soul get ripped from his body...
Packed midnight screening of this last year was awesome.
Tim Curry was offered the villain role, but he already hated Scrappy Doo from the series and turned it down 😂
I remember watching this with my little siblings a few years ago and they all absolutely loved laughing at it. Like I don’t think they even got the jokes, the CGI was just so awkward it was funny to them. They were literally 4 and 6 (the 4 year old was only watching it because you know damn well my parents aren’t paying me enough to chase her around the house 🙁), they hadn’t even watched enough movies to compare the CGI to better CGI 😭
I unironically adore this movie.
Even as a kid, I never got over how shaggy looked like a 45 year old with a mortgage and karaoke addiction…😔
He IS one and there's nothing wrong with that. We love mid-life crisis representation around here ❤❤❤
gabi getting scared when her dog barked the second time made me giggle LOL
Ryan Gosling would work so well as modern Fred Jones honestly. Also, it still surprises me that Americans are familiar with Mr. Bean.
Man a lot of people are from different countries are familiar with Mr. Bean, even in Chile y Brasil we know the guy. Dude is a legend
né. mr bean é patrimonio da humanidade.@@H.LeonideSouza
Yeah Mr. Bean is global. You don’t need to speak any one language to know how funny Mr. Bean is.
I can definitely see Ryan Gosling playing Fred in a Scooby-Doo live-action reboot.
Maybe in an alternate universe, Oppenheimer would’ve competed with Scooby-Doo, with Ryan Gosling as Fred and Margot Robbie as Daphne 🤣
And yeah, Mr. Bean is an comedy icon 👌
Mr. Bean is Johnny English too and he was also in rat race which is memorable too haha
My favorite scene was deleted, velma drunkenly singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" to Daphne
The monsters breath doesn't take their souls, it just knocks them out. The machine with the claw takes their soul. So, you're right that you didnt understand the movie, even as an adult lol
