Scoob! (2020) WEBDL 480p 720p & 1080p

Meeting on Venice Beach when they were young, Shaggy (voiced by Will Forte) and Scooby-Doo (Frank Welker) have become inseparable, sharing a love of mischief and large sandwiches. The duo is part of Mystery, Inc., joining pals Fred (Zac Efron), Velma (Gina Rodriguez), and Daphne (Amanda Seyfried) as they speed around town in the Mystery Machine looking for supernatural crimes to solve. However, things are growing stale for the unit, which seeks an investor to take their small-town business to the big time. For Scooby and Shaggy, trouble is only beginning, soon targeted for collection by Dick Dastardly (Jason Isaacs), who’s on the hunt for giant dog skulls to reach a fortune in gold located in the underworld. Saving the day is Blue Falcon (Mark Wahlberg), Dynomutt (Ken Jeong), and Dee Dee Sykes (Kiersey Clemons), who pick up the frightened buddies, giving the hungry pooch a superhero makeover as they speed to thwart Dick’s destructive plans.

The screenplay for “Scoob!” is credited to four people, and what they’ve come up with is a rather elaborate plot for Dick, who’s collecting massive canine skulls with his tiny robot horde (fulfilling the Minion requirement for the production), requiring Scooby’s paw to open a special portal to a hidden underworld filled with gold, using magic that dates back to Alexander the Great. Or something like that. Gone are the days of simple sleuthing, which the writing dismisses with an early sequence that finds the newly formed Mystery, Inc. breaking into a haunted house on Halloween, discovering just who is behind the angry specter living there. In fact, “Scoob!” goes all the way back to the day when Scooby and Shaggy met, with their meet cute on a California beach, sharing their love of salted meats. Such a prequel-y touch is employed to secure the bond between the characters (which is crudely tested later on in the film), and to help establish this version of “Scooby-Doo,” which is more in touch with modern ways of comedy, empowerment, and celebrity appearances, including a cameo by Simon Cowell.
