Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire Trailers

Scooby and the gang have their first musical mystery in “Scooby Doo: Music of the Vampire.” It begins when they take a sing-a-long road trip into bayou country to attend the “Vampire-Palooza Festival” – an outdoor fair dedicated to all things Draculian. At first it looks as if they’re in for some fun and lots of Southern snacks, but events soon turn scary when a real live vampire comes to life, bursts from his coffin and threatens all the townsfolk. On top of that, this baritone blood sucker seems intent on taking Daphne as his vampire bride! Could the vampire be a descendant of a famous vampire hunter who is trying to sell his book? Or perhaps he’s the local politician, who has been trying to make his name in the press by attacking the vampires as downright unwholesome. The answers are to be found in a final song-filled showdown in the swamp in which our heroes unmask one of their most macabre monsters yet.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Paul Magne Haakonsen In my honest opinion, then the 2012 "Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire" animated movie wasn't the brightest of moments in the Scooby-Doo franchise. Why is that? Well, personally I didn't care much for the musical element that was introduced here. It was just forced and didn't really have a natural place in the cartoon that various characters would spontaneously break out into song in often odd moments.Without going too deep into the storyline, I will just briefly summarize it here. Scooby-Doo and the gang go to Little Bat village for a vacation after their last solved mystery, as Velma wants to visit the local Vampire Festival. Meeting up with Vincent Van Helsing, what was supposed to be a quiet vacation turns into another mystery as it turns out that some vampire imitators summon forth an ancient vampire by the name of Valdronya.It should be said that the storyline was good, and the storyline itself was actually quite up to level with other animated Scooby-Doo movies. But it was just a shame that it was cut short by the musical elements.The animation and drawing style in the cartoon was good, and it had that unique Scooby-Doo feeling that we all love. And being an animated movie, then the voice acting is alpha and omega, and I will say that the talents they had on for the voice acting was good, and they were doing great jobs with their respective characters. It is always a treat to have Matthew Lillard voicing Shaggy and Frank Welker voicing Scooby-Doo."Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire" certainly does have a place in the Scooby-Doo franchise, but it just wasn't one of the stronger pillars in the franchise.
ApolloBoy109 This is so wrong. Anyone over five who says this is good is wrong. For serious fans of the Scoob (me from 1969 to present day) there are too many travesties afoot in this piece of trash cheaply made and shoved down the throats of innocent fans to enjoy it. I knew from the beginning , when no Guest Voice appeared in the credits, this would not be a good ride. Horrible. A Crime. A Scooby-Doo Musical? The gang breaking into a Zombie song? Poor animation. The first five minutes was a blatant rip-off from the first five minutes of Disney's Aladdin. They even had a "lamp"! The theme is a rip-off of "Twilight" with Daph as Bella. What did they do Tom Sheppard's original script that made him remove his name? He is the writer in the credits. This is the dude who wrote for Pinky and the Brain, so we know he did his job. So what did they do?I got a new title for a Scooby-Doo movie: What did the Studio heads do to Scooby-Doo?Pass it by!
TheLittleSongbird As a big Scooby Doo fan, I enjoyed Scooby Doo and the Music of the Vampire. Of the Scooby animated movies, I do prefer Witch's Ghost, Zombie Island and Goblin King, and this is perhaps my least favourite of the movies to use the Mystery Incorporated-like animation style. However I still enjoyed it, I liked the animation style which was like a combination of the classic Scooby Doo and the What's New Scooby Doo style, and while it takes some time to get going the story was interesting with an ending that was a lot of fun if not entirely unexpected as I knew who it was halfway through.The dialogue is witty, and the voice work is absolutely great, with only a little too squealy Mindy Kohn disappointing(slightly). Frank Welker is terrific as always, Matthew Lillard had big shoes to fill and does admirably being very goofy and likable and Jeff Bennett is both menacing and makes us feel sympathy for him. Valdronya is a very convincing villain, with an imposing look and a Dracula/Maldor the Malevolent-like voice that gives the chills. Now to the stuff that I wasn't so crazy about, apart from Mindy Kohn and some of the story taking time to get going.I personally think the film could've been shorter, with a couple of scenes that could've been either shortened or cut I wouldn't have felt that the pacing was a little uneven with a couple of parts in the middle dragging. The songs I was mixed on; the best were Done With Monsters, which was clever and very spirited vocally, Scooby and Me, which was hilarious and Do You Want to Live Forever, especially for the dancing. The rest were forgettable, Valdronya Returns had a strong hint of deja vu almost as if it was trying too hard to be another villain song(can't quite put my finger on which) and I can't remember any of Vampire's Bite and Vampire's Dance, and didn't move forward the story much.Overall, a decent film and an interesting enough change of pace, but I have seen better from Scooby. 7/10 Bethany Cox
miliosfamishi Hahaha! For the first musical Scooby Doo adventure, it is a fun romp! The first song, Done with Monsters, is a perfect mix and definitely something you would expect from Shaggy. It is amazing how Frank Welker still manages to sound like a teenager (Fred), even as he is singing. Mindy Cohn makes Velma have too much of a squealer voice, though. The other notable song, Scooby and Me, is definitely hilarious and entertaining. I love to just pop the DVD in and watch the just the songs again. In terms of plot, pretty interesting, although I felt sorry for van Helsing, who was just trying to get by. The graphics are good, loving the new cartoon style, mix of new and old. Pretty good for a boring Sunday afternoon. 8/10 stars.
