Scoob!

This movie is to reboot the Scooby-Doo franchise, from TV series cartoons, to live action movies, Scooby-Doo has been through them all, but this reboot has gone back to its roots of animation, in the first fully animated feature film.

In the movie we see a stray dog, with no name taking a roll of kebab meat from a Greek takeaway shop, and is being pursued by a policeman on a bike. The dog manages to give the policeman the slip and hides himself and the roll of meat in the sand, disguised as a couple of sand mounds. At the same time a lonely young boy, Norvil Rogers is listening to his music on his phone, which, seemingly knows he is lonely and every record seems to depict that too. Eventually turning to a podcast, which does the exact same thing, he continues to walk down the street. while by the beach, he spots the two mounds and has an idea, putting faces on them with shells, and then sits to have his lunch with his 2 new friends "Shelley" and "Sandy". The dog is listening as the boy talks to the mounts, then suddenly appears and they, after scaring each other sit to eat the lunch together. All of a sudden the policeman appears and says that he needs to take the dog, the boy claims that the dog is his. When asked his name, the name Scooby-Doo comes from somewhere in the boys head. Once the policeman leaves the boy introduces himself to the talking dog, but says everyone calls him "Shaggy". This is the moment that Scooby and Shaggy meet. Also as the first few minutes roll, we get to find out how these 2 meet the kids who would end up forming the group Mystery Inc.

I really liked the fact that this had gone back to its roots and animation, i also like that we go right back to the start and find out how the gang came together. With an all-Star cast voicing, Will Forte as Shaggy, Gina Rodriguez as Velma, Zac Efron as Fred, Amanda Seyfried as Daphne and Frank Welker as Scooby. There are a lot more names too but i won't reveal their names or the characters they voice, just to see if you can guess who they are. With this being set in the modern era, this movie will be liked by all ages. There are even those great one liners that the children completely miss, but the adult find high amusing. I loved the way other Hanna-Barbera characters were also present.
