Scooby Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon DVD Review

Brand new for 2013 comes this latest offering from Warner Bros. featuring Scooby, Shaggy and the gang, Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon.  Scooby Doo is a character whose appeal transcends the generations.  Both the grown-ups and the kids love him, so this original movie really will please the whole family. 

Warner Bros

We were sent a copy by Warner Bros. which has been watched and enjoyed by both Daddy and Freddy, a testament to the appeal of Scooby!

The gang are attending the Mega Mondo Pop Cartoon-a-Con where celebrated comic book characters are headlining and a new megabucks Blue Falcon film is premiering.  However a hoarde of evil creatures become released by villainous Mr Hyde, threatening to destroy the event.  It's up to Scooby and co. to solve the clues, unmask the identity of the bad guy.  Faced with sinister slime, monster bats and howling hounds, it's up to Scooby and Shaggy to harness their inner super heroes and save the cartoon-a-con!  There are a few bad guys in the frame so it keeps you guessing!

What is great about this full length feature film is the nods to other cartoon characters at the Cartoon-a-Con.   It is also very refreshing to see the way the film lampoons the whole comic book convention culture and in essence pokes fun at itself. I love a franchise that doesn't take itself too seriously!

The film has a PG certificate and is 73 minutes long.  It is available to purchase from all good retailers now.  The DVD includes an Ultra Violet copy for watching the movie on the go on other devices.  It's a great addition to your online film library in The Cloud.  There are also some bonus vintage cartoons included to keep us grown ups happy!

The DVD is available now from good stockists such as Amazon.
