Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo Meets Courage The Cowardly Dog SPOILER FILLED Film Review

 


Scooby-Doo fans the franchise is back with yet another direct to DVD animated movie only this time this movie was leaked online a few days before it's actual digital release. Which is weird since there are so many Warner Bros movies coming out and yet the people who leaked this movie chose to leak Scooby-Doo over say The Batman or The Matrix: Resurrections for example either way join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the latest direct to DVD animated Scooby-Doo movie with the movie / film in question being called simply just "Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo Meets Courage The Cowardly Dog" enjoy.

The plot of this movie is after Scooby-Doo runs away from the gang after hearing a scary noise he accidently bumps into Courage The Cowardly Dog and together along with the rest of the Mystery Inc crew Courage's owners the group most discover what it is that is making this noise and who is behind it and what it is that they want exactly and put astop to it before it's far to freaking late. Now then in terms of what I thought about the plot of this film in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this film was rather weak with the actual plot of the film being really hard to uncover what the plot actually is which for a kids movie is not a very good thing or even a good thing indeed in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Frank Welker as Scooby-Do and Fred Jones , Grey Griffin as Daphne Blake and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers. Also starring in this film is Kate Micucci as Velma Dinkley , Marty Grabstein as Courage , the late Thea White as Muriel Bagge and Jeff Bergman as Eustace Bagge. Now then it's worth noting that pretty much all of the actors that i've listed as starring in this film are playing multiple roles in this film however as I cannot find out exactly what those other roles are i've instead just simply chosen to simply credit these actors main roles instead of including all of their other characters that that play in this film.

Now then as for / in terms of what I personally thought about the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film was indeed really freaking good. Which given how good that this voice cast is at voice acting really freaking shouldn't come as a surprise to freaking anybody in my opinion anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for this film is / was Digital Emation which has provided the animation for several Scooby-Doo entries over the years including being the main animation studio behind Scooby-Doo And Guess Who as an example. Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the animation that's featured / resented to us in this very very film was indeed very freaking good with the animation being very freaking fluid alot of the time and you can quite clearly tell that the people who doing the animation for this film have a love for both Courage The Cowardly Dog And The Scooby=Doo franchise since the animation that's in this film is of a very freaking high quality in my opinion anyways / at least.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!



Now then I was going to make this review a spoiler free review simply because it's a direct to DVD animated Scooby-Doo movie there's nothing that you can really spoil in these series of movies in my opinion anyways / at least. However this film did the one thing that alot of bad family movies do and that's the fact that this movie has a character rapping and to make things worse the character that raps in this movie is freaking Eustace and it's just such an awful that was included just to make the little kids that are watching this movie feel grown up and mature and not because it's an actually good idea or even a good rap song in my opinion anyways / at least.

Speaking of Eustace he is just such a useless character in this movie because he literally does nothing in this movie. In fact he straight up disappears from this movie not once (which is bad enough) but he disappears from this movie twice and when he is in this movie he adds nothing to the actual plot nor does he do anything to advance the actual plot of this movie heck you could have cut Eustace out of this movie and nothing regarding the films plot or characters or character development would have been lost because he was that useless of a character in this movie in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then the one thing that I never in all honesty expected to see in this film was to see Velma without her glasses. Yes boys and girls we finally get to see what Velma looks like without her glasses on her face and for once her hand / arm isn't covering her face either and I have to admit that Velma actually looks pretty damn good without her glasses on her face but at the same time it would be super weird seeing her without her glasses on her face the whole entire time in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

So now then this film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and eighteen minuets and twenty six seconds. Which in all honesty was the right amount of running time for this film since this film is very thin on actual story and character development and so this film would very seriously struggle as all freaking heck to even reach one hour and thirty freaking minuets in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then since this film is indeed a mystery film after all that does infact mean that I have to actually talk about the actual mystery element / aspect of this very film that's featured / presented to us in this very film and well the actual mystery element / aspect of this very film that's featured / presented to us in this very film was freaking badly done. Since there this film offers us no clues to whom the actual villain of the film even is but even so the villain of the film is freaking obvious that I actually called it on who the villain of this film TEN FREAKING MINUETS into this very film and so I have to wait for just around an hour to see if i'm right and low and behold I was freaking right and the fact that I managed to correctly guess who the main villain of this film so freaking early into this very film just goes to show you how bad the actual mystery element / aspect of this very film well and truly is in my opinion anyways / at least and yes the entire Mystery Inc gang Scooby-Doo included get sidelined in this films final battle for literally no reason what so ever which is just so freaking stupid in my opinion anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!


Overall while this film is indeed any cartoon fans dream come true sadly this film turns that dream into a living nightmare in my opinion anyways / at least because so much of this film is just wasted potential and this film just isn't as good as perhaps could even perhaps should have been in my humble and in my very honest opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this film gets a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Courage The Cowardly Dog fandom wiki page , the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Google Images this is simply because the official Google Images actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly high definition
