Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>The Scooby Gang \u2014 Fred (FRANK WELKER), Daphne (GREY GRIFFIN), Velma (KATE MCCUCCI), Shaggy (MATTHEW LILLARD) and Scooby-Doo (WELKER) \u2014 are visiting Crazy Q Dude Ranch run and owned by Shaggy\u2019s cousin twice removed, Tawny Rogers (MELISSA VILLASENOR). Of course, it can\u2019t be just a relaxing vacation on the old ranch without a ghost and mystery. The ghost is rogue outlaw of the Old West, Dapper Jack who happens to be a descendent of the Rogers\u2019 family whose lore lures in tourists but when old Jack seems to have come back to life wreaking havoc, businesses and people begin leaving; it\u2019s up to the SG to uncover the truth.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>These direct-to-video Scooby-Doo<\/em> movies have been okay or miss of late with the mash-ups (WWE and KISS) being misses in my book and hardly entertaining let alone humorous. So with Scooby-Doo: Shaggy\u2019s Showdown<\/em><\/strong> I was pleasantly surprised that the writers went back to the roots that made these so much fun and I found myself actually laughing (out loud) numerous times and finding the mystery to be actually, well, mysterious. The voice acting is decent as always though I do miss Mindy Cohn\u2019s Velma though Kate McCucci (who took over last year on LEGO Scooby-Doo: Haunted Hollywood<\/em>) was at least an okay replacement while Matthew Lillard continues to do a great job as Shaggy…<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Warner Home Video releases Scooby-Doo: Shaggy\u2019s Showdown<\/em><\/strong> presented with an anamorphic 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track which sounds fine when it came to the dialogue while the sound effects were on the limited side.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Overall, Scooby-Doo: Shaggy\u2019s Showdown<\/em><\/strong> is one of the better animated movies I\u2019ve seen from the series in quite a while, mainly because the last few didn\u2019t do much for me especially the mash-up specials. The DVD released by Warner Home Video provides fine video and audio but, as usual, not much in the way of bonus features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
