Asides the art style, this is a great show that improved a part of the classic Scooby-Doo formula: the comedy. I don't know about the American cast changes, but I do know about the Brazilian ones. Only the Fred voice actor wasn't changed here. It's not worse, the new cast do a nice job, I just don't understand why they changed the cast from "What's new, Scooby-Doo?" that also worked on "Mystery inc.". The designs are understandably hated but it's not noticeable on the go. Also, honestly only Velma looks really uglier. As I said earlier, they improved, and flawlessly, the comedy. The comedy is not absent in the classic formula, the slap-sticky gags and the chase scenes are awesome, not a surprise Scooby-Doo is a success afterall, it's that they try to make you laugh by literally putting jokes now. The characters are also a bit more improved and a bit less clichéd; Fred is now more of an exaggerated leader than a handsome, strong one. Velma didn't actually change that much, but looks nerdier. The Shaggy/Scooby-Doo couple is pretty much the same as well, being the mayor change in the group Daphne. I don't know if I hate or like the new Daphne, although there's nothing that detestable about her new personality. The pacing is the same, I personally enjoy the chase scenes of the classic formula and on this show it's similar to the "What's new" ones, specially the rock 'n' roll soundtrack. The animation is pretty good, it has the same quality level/style of cartoons like Bunnicula and Wabbit; it looks differently, but it's certainly not a lazy work. "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!" is easily one of the best Scooby-Doo versions, it's equally entertaining and funnier. If you give it a chance, you won't regret it. You know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover. Here's an example.
