Based on the famous Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, Scoob was originally supposed to be released in theaters worldwide. Because of the Corona Virus outbreak, however, Warner Bros decided to release the movie on VOD (Video On Demand), available from websites like Amazon Prime, Fandango Now, YouTube, and Vudu. So, is this movie worth the wait? Let's find out!
Scoob tells the story of how Scooby-Doo (Frank Welker) and Shaggy Rogers (Will Forte) first met and how they joined with young detectives Freddie Jones (Zac Efron), Velma Dinkley (Gina Rodriguez), and Daphne Blake (Amanda Seyfried) to form Mystery Inc. Now, with hundreds of cases solved and adventures shared, Scooby and the gang face their biggest, most challenging mystery ever: A plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. As they race to stop the global 'Dogpocalypse', the gang discovers that Scooby has a secret legacy and an epic destiny greater than anyone imagined.
Scoob is a charming movie with top-notch animation, a story that sticks true to its original source material, and a strong message about friendship and loyalty.
Mark Wahlberg also does a good job as Brian, son of the legendary superhero the Blue Falcon.
If I were to complain about one thing, I would say that Will Forte and Zac Efron aren’t the best choices for Shaggy and Freddie. If I were a casting director for the film, I would’ve gone with Matthew Lillard and Frank Welker, their original voice actors.

In conclusion, while Scoob may not be as good as other animated comedies I’ve seen, but it’s something to cheer up to during this uncertain times.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
