This is sooooooo annoyingly hard to find...so bare with me, I only saw it once a few years back at my sister's house. I am doing this one from pure old memory.

Essentially what we have here is Scooby Doo breaking the fourth wall...only it's not in the cool Deadpool, Saved By the Bell, JFK, Ferris Beuler's Day Off, Kuffs sort of breaking the fourth wall.

Instead it's kind of the ENTIRE cartoon is about breaking the fourth wall.

Suddenly everyone knows they aren't real and even odder, they all know they are animated.

And atop of that Scooby kind of has a little bit of a swelled head...and there are really no mysteries or anything really Scooby Related here.

What you have is a Scooby Cartoon about being a cartoon.

It doesn't really sit well. but it's not horrible either, parts of it are still funny.

It just doesn't sit well.

As a huge Scooby Doo fan, naturally I wanted to see Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood. I will admit I was a little disappointed by it, but I didn't think it was bad. The music is great and true to the style of the decade it's set in, and I liked the song sung by Fred, Daphne and Velma and the duet between Scooby and Cher(ie).

The voice work is still excellent, particularly from Don Messick, Casey Kasem and Frank Welker, and I enjoyed the spoofs on Happy Days, Charlie's Angels, Sonny and Cher and Superman. My favourite is the one on Sound of Music, which is still very funny.

The characters still have their likability. Scooby and Shaggy still make me smile and laugh, and while underused Fred, Daphne and Velma manage to not be dull.

Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood isn't perfect however. My feelings on the animation were mixed. The colours are lively and plentiful and some of the background art is nice, but the editing could have done with being more fluid and some of the character designs are not as strong as they could have been.

The concept was intriguing and it was very interesting at the start. However, the story is rather thin and predictable, and perhaps rushed too, with too much focus on the jokes and spoofs in alternative to a coherent storyline.

I was also mixed on the writing, most of the jokes and spoofs are very funny, but there are also some lame puns along the way and one or two of the spoofs due to feeling skimmed over don't quite make the grade.

All in all, a decent enough special, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. 6/10 Bethany Cox

I have no idea what could have possessed a writer to come up with this intoxicating mixture of Scooby-Doo and Hollywood parody. Well... I guess it was the 70s!... The idea is that Scooby quits his Saturday morning show in pursuit of more challenging roles and box office success helped by Shaggy, his trusty side-kick. This was inspired by those awful cartoons in the 40s in which Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd act like real actors even talking to Mr. Warner - their boss!!! In the same awfully unfunny way, Shaggy and Scooby barge into the Studio Director's office in order to show him samples of their work which parodies westerns and stupid 70s musicals (like Saturday Night Fever).

In the end of all this Scooby(after messing up everything he tried to do) is convinced by hordes of children chanting "Scooby-Doo, we need you!" to go back to his regular show.

After watching this very stupid attempt at a longer animated Scooby-Doo film, the viewer is convinced the awfull jokes in the Scooby-Doo show aren't really that bad and is actually looking forward to a line like "If it hadn't been for you pesky kids..."

This was one of about barely 8 VHS I actually had in the 90s as a kid for some reason, and it was probably my introduction to this whole series oddly. Nothing but great memories and laughs at the absurdity of it all.

I liked the animation and story but I watch scooby doo to see the gang solve mysteries. Not to be a Hollywood star. Also Fred dalphne and Velma are barely in this.

Maybe it was OK in the 70s if there was nothing else on (ut it was the only DVD we saw for Scooby that was bad) The rest of them are great rentals, but this one was a horrific flashback of the duller years for me and a regular bore for the kids.

The entire show is about Scooby trying to play other roles, like on Happy Days, and every one he does ends up with him crashing into something. It is also a wanna be musical, with no real plot and certainly no mystery.

I can't believe they bothered to put this on DVD! If you want to rent a great Scooby movie, get anything else first!!!! Even Harlem globe trotters is Academy material compared to this one.

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

Scooby Doo goes to Hollywood is one weird movie for sure because it is is in French and Spanish and English it is not the best movie but it is still a good movie for the whole family to enjoy i think you may not enjoy this weird movie it is a OK movie i think you may want to watch this horrible movie if you are looking for a good funny movie than you are not at the right movie because this movie stinks a lot i think it is not that bad but it is not the best movie ever i think you may want to watch this movie just to see how bad this movie is Scooby Doo Goes to Hollywood it bad i think this maybe one of the tiring movies of all times i think this movie should get a award for one of the worse movies ever created i hope you enjoy this movie but in my thinking it is horrible film i never saw anything this bad before in my whole life i think it stinks horribly it is stinky i never saw a movie this bad before in my whole life it is bad i never saw a movie this bad before n my life

I really cannot fathom what the writers were thinking on this one. Few movies reach this level of crossover failure like Star Wars Holiday Special. It's a hodge-podge of rehashed Three Stooges, clips of older episodes, and Snoopy Come Home. I believe they were trying to see if Scooby would ever work without monsters, mystery and for the most part, the rest of the gang. The only audience I can think of that might enjoy this is perhaps a 3-year old who likes the dog but finds regular Doo too scary. Even still, they would get none of the supposed 'jokes' referring to old campy tv shows.
