Rebuilding the mystery machine
Being a huge 'Scooby Doo' fan for goodness knows how long, any new show, special or film would be watched with great anticipation. While 'Scooby Doo Where Are You' is still the jewel of the crown of the franchise, it was interesting to see 'Scooby Doo' rendered in Lego.
'Lego Scooby Doo', as said with the previous episodes, was something found quite by accident after watching the short special 'Knight Time Terror' and the two Lego-rendered 'Scooby Doo' films 'Haunted Hollywood' and 'Blowout Beach Bash'. After being pleasantly surprised by 'Knight Time Terror' and 'Blowout Beach Bash' (was mixed on 'Haunted Hollywood'), it made me interested to see more Lego 'Scooby Doo', having seen other films lately following the Lego animation trend and doing it remarkably well. They are very short episodes, but is quite an interesting little series even if different than expected, being more encounters with monsters with lots of fun and spooky atmosphere rather than a mystery with an unmasking.
"Mystery Machine Mash-Up" is another one of the best 'Lego Scooby Doo' episodes. Daphne and Velma may be missing, but Shaggy and Scooby are a joy and their friendship charming as ever and Fred is just as fun.
Again it is too short, something that is true of all the episodes, but it is hard not to like the gang interaction, the clever set up, the spooky atmosphere (evoked in one of the best-looking and creepiest settings of the series), Shaggy and Scooby's friendship and its endearing goofiness. Shaggy and Scooby's attempts at rebuilding the mystery machine is the main source of the humour, they come up with some very funny and clever ways of building and designs and just as funny is Fred's excuses as to why they don't work.
The animation again is very nicely done. It's very colourful and atmospheric and the music is dynamic and whimsical with a nice haunted house vibe too with the main theme. Characterisation is on point as ever.
Overall, the mystery machine may have been mashed up but this episode sure isn't a mash up when it comes to quality. 9/10 Bethany Cox
