Hello Scooby fans and Supernatural fans it has finally happened after being announced ages ago the crossover finally happened last night and I have to say that even tho i'm not a Supernatural fan I did watch this episode so here we go.
The plot of the episode is The Winchesters get sucked into a TV that happens to be showing Scooby Doo and they have to team up with the Scooby gang to find out what's going on. I did a little digging around and I found out that the episode they get sucked into is in fact a real episode it aired as part of Where Are You and is called A Night of Fright is No Delight but I do have to say that there was pretty much no plot for this episode outside of the set up.
Starring in the episode we have Jared Padalecki , Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins as there regular characters and guest starring as the gang we have Grey Griffin , Matthew Lillard , Kate Micucci and the only cast member from the original Scooby series Frank Welker. Honestly for me the voice acting from the Supernatural cast felt wooden and I think that's because there not used to doing voice work but it's still very noticeable as for the Scooby gang there acting was really freaking good.
One of the things that had me worried about the crossover was how are they going to explain the fact that they are now in a cartoon and I think they way they did it was very natural and in terms of the Supernatural world is also kinda makes sense in a strange and weird way.
This episode uses a mixture of live action and animation with the animation being done by Warner Bros Animation and being produced by Spike Brandt who's done a lot of Scooby related stuff. In all honesty the animation for this episode was better then what I was expecting it to be I was expecting the episode to look cheap and just be nothing more then a cash grab but it wasn't the characters had a lot of great movements to them and the backgrounds looked very detailed.
If there's one complaint I have about the animation it's the fact that it looks modern imagine how much cooler the episode would have been if the animation style matched the style from the 60's it would have been a nice little homage to the original show.
I do however like the fact that the designs for the Scooby match how they looked in the original series heck even the Supernatural characters have some nice designs to them and I would consider watching another Supernatural animated series (for those who don't know there was a Supernatural anime produced) altho just to go with what I was saying before it would have been a nice homage if the Scooby gang where drawn with thick lines like they were back in the day.
Honestly there's not much I can really say about this episode but I got the feeling that the makers of the show were Scooby Doo fans because of the fact that they make fun of alot of the tropes that were present in those early years while at the same time they go along with those same tropes and yes I to would take a bullet for that dog.
Overall this was a really fun but tho it doesn't make me a fan of Supernatural sorry guys but I did give it try a few years back and it's just not for me but like I said this episode was really fun and it gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
