Sure, I grew up with watching Scooby-Doo on the TV as a youngster, and I still do find the time to sit down once in a while with my 7 year old son to watch Scooby-Doo on new adventures, as he enjoy the tales of the Mystery Gang as much as I did when I was a kid.
However, I am a little bit reluctant when they branched over into Lego. Sure, the animation and CGI is top notch, but it is just not the same. The essence is there, for certain, but it is just not Scooby-Doo in the way it was meant to be.
I sat down to watch "Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash" with my son, and I must admit that the storyline in this particular adventure was actually one of the better story lines in quite some time. So it was rather easy to distract myself from the aversion to it being Lego.
The CGI and animation was amazing, as to be expected of course. And it they had a great amount of details in all the scenes, which was genuinely pleasant to see.
And it is of course always a treat to have recurring voice actors return to reprise established characters, and here we are having Grey DeLisle, Matthew Lillard, Kate Micucci and Frank Welker of course.
I was genuinely surprised with the outcome of this particular Lego rendering of a Scooby-Doo tale, and it was a very entertaining storyline to say the least.
If you have the chance to watch "Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash" then you should definitely do so, whether you are a newcomer or a long time fan of the Scooby-Doo universe.
