Scooby-Doo! And the Monster of Mexico Sooner or later, the Mystery, Inc. gang had to take on Mexico’s legendary Bigfoot equivalent, El Chupacabra, and that’s precisely what they do in this entertaining, feature-length, Scooby-style investigation into the paranormal. Taking the Mystery Van south of the border, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo celebrate Day of the Dead festivities, which become less festive when a towering, glowering Chupacabra monster turns up to terrify both tourists and locals. The young snoops smell a conspiracy, and as they chase down clues their search for the truth leads them into sundry Mexican antiquities–ancient tombs and temples–where danger increases exponentially. There are the usual rituals: Our time-warped heroes run like the wind during encounters with alleged ghouls–particularly best-buds Shaggy and Scooby, when they aren’t stuffing themselves with delicious Scooby Snacks. The animation is slicker and smoother–and more pleasing–than some other, recent Scooby-Doo features. –Tom Keogh
Customer Review: one of our favorites
One of the best scooby do movies. My kids like this one and the Lochness monster the best.
Customer Review: Scooby-Doo in Mexico
Scooby and the gang take a Mexican vacation to visit friends and find El Chupacabra instead. Of course, the Chupacabra turns out to be the result of special effects by the crooks who want to scare people off their land and purchase the real estate at discount prices. The identity of one of the crooks may surprise you.
This is another in the new series of animated Scooby-Doo movies that are far superior to the old cartoons. The stories are better, the mysteries more involved and there’s more interaction amongst Mystery, Inc. members.
If you like Scooby-Doo, then don’t pass this up. It appeals to adult fans and kids alike.
