When I saw a Scooby Doo movie set in Mexico, I was excited to say the least! What unparalled potential! However, I was let down greatly. Not only is surface level racism rampant throughout the feature film, the weak voice acting detracts from the enjoyment even further. In the chase scene by the pyramids, the sand monster knocks down stone pillars with great strength. This is simply blown off as "special effects." Can you believe that?? Additionally, the gang takes a ride on a giant bird made of stone that flies through the air. What. More "special effects?" And to add insult to injury, Fred doesn't even build a trap. The Chupacabra just trips into a strand of lights. It's like this movie was made for people on edibles, it makes sense for about 45 minutes (just in time to come up) then it hits the fan. Would not recommend to a friend unless as a cruel prank.
