Scooby Doo Camp Scare is an animated film directed by Ethan Spaulding. The plot sees Scooby (Frank Welker), and the gang head to Camp Little Moose, as Fred (also Welker), wants to relive some of his childhood and has become a councillor there, the gang naturally accompany him. However, once they arrive they realise something stalks the woods, something scary.
So, the first thing I noticed about this film was the animation is different to the other animated Scooby Doo films I have reviewed, not necessarily worse, but certainly newer looking in style. I found this to be jarring at the start of the film, but I found it to be less of an issue as it went on.
The drawn style of the female characters in this one is oddly sexual, they have Daphne (Grey Griffin), in a bikini and pan the camera up and down her body multiple times; you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching the soft core start of a very convincing porn parody. Other female characters suffer the same fate and it just feels a bit icky. Also they walk back some of the character development of Daphne and turn her into the jealous girlfriend cliché
Switching gear, I found this to be much funnier than previous Scooby adventures, this film seemed to be crammed with innuendos and dirty jokes which I appreciated and that did in fact make me laugh.
The Scooby Doo formula is less strikingly apparent here, yes it still ends in the standard way that you would expect but it feels like more freedom was given to the creatives.
Overall, a fun ride, though a little creepy at times in a questionable sort of way.
Pros.
It is very watchable
More creative freedom
Has a few good funny moments
Cons.
Weirdly sexual
A shift in animation
3/5
