Daphne does it again
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.
"Danger Prone Daphne" is not one of the best 'Lego Scooby Doo' episodes, but there hasn't been a bad episode of the series and "Danger Prone Daphne" is not an exception to that. It's one of the shorter episodes and does feel too short with a slightly abrupt ending. Daphne's character design is a little unintentionally creepy.
However, the atmosphere is spooky and fun, great elaborate lighthouse setting and a creepy sea monster. The visuals at the end with the lighthouse are very striking. Lovely to see the whole gang and the interaction is great, while Shaggy and Scooby are as lovable as ever as is their charming chemistry.
The writing amuses and the lighthouse setting is used to full advantage especially at the end.
Animation-wise, the animation 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. Voice acting is good.
In summation, not one of the best episodes but good fun. 7/10 Bethany Cox
