Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog

I loved Courage growing up so was excited to learn the show was teaming up with the Scooby-Doo gang since it made sense. Both shows have a cowardly dog and do spooky stuff, so you'd have yourself the perfect crossover.

When I found out that Dilworth was not on the project, it made me slightly worried because it felt wrong to not have his vision. But I thought it could work as long as they are able to meld both worlds together.

The film is good...but not perfect. The script for the film could have gone through a few more rewrites and proofreading to make the two franchises flow better. It doesn't really help that there is now modern technology that served as kind of a tonal whiplash.

The animation is fine. Considering how Nowhere is literally off the map and to itself, the original characters from the show and new denizens are drawn to reflect the weirdness of the town whereas the Mystery Gang is drawn in the same fashion they always are to contrast the more cartoony characters of Nowhere.

But I felt that the film failed to truly take advantage of the concept of two cowardly dogs being in the same film and the overall mystery felt lacking.
