I've watched this movie dozens of times but my most recent watch felt like the first time I'd really sat and paid attention. Anything Scooby Doo is nostalgic and comfort for me and I think that caused me to just breeze through this movie without giving it much thought.
I will say I tried rewatching Ghoul School recently with my 6 year old who is a huge Scooby Doo fan and we were both so bored-which you don't experience with Boo Brothers so there's that.
On this recent watch I realized while the plot for this one was fun-it's a pretty frustrating film to watch. In regular Scooby Doo where we have the whole gang-Shaggy and Scooby being terrified of everything is compensated by Velma's brains and Fred being innovative (sorry Daphne! We love you but I can't think right now of one for you!) In Boo Brothers Scrappy Doo's character is used as a fill in for missing Fred and Velma and while sweet and a smart move...it just really made Shaggy and Scooby appear silly in the worst possible way. It's sad to say but those two really need adult supervision😂 Sadly, I can see now why the rest of the gang needs to be part for the film to be strong. The movie just didn't land well without them.
