I was just thinking about this one the other day, the only thing I like about this special is the breaking of the fourth wall, 80s did that a lot with Scooby,it was always fun for me and I wish they did that more these days.
I just hate how they treat shaggy in This special, I hate when they leave him out of things. Than again they do that with Scooby time to time like Big top Scooby for example.

Also, the story of how shaggy got Scooby makes no sense adding into Scooby movies into the mix and pup name Scooby doo, he's been with shaggy since he was a kid,this shows him buying Scooby as an adult.

My cousin gave us this film when I was small along with Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf. I guess she was too old for them. I remember balking more at RW (Probably because it looked scarier) But I think I ended up enjoying Reluctant Werewolf a lot more then goes to Hollywood, so go figure. Maybe it was too cheesy for me, or maybe it wasn't as exciting as RW. I'd need to watch it again.

I find it hard to dislike any Scooby movie, but out of all of them, this one is my least favorite only because they tried to write Scooby as an actor in a series called "Scooby-Doo" and not as a dog that was a detective that wanted to get into acting (which would have been a better route). This one was basically a film within a film.

I'm not a huge fan of this one. It really isn't that great. The parodies are boring and dated. I also hated the musical numbers. The other members of the gang were not featured much. The only things I liked was when they are filming the Scooby Doo show in the beginning

Another groovy time for a movie time! as before, I've preempted my review in the Scooby Discord, so please join it if you want to see those before they go on proboards! Invite Link- discord.gg/JMRXH7FI'm going to start the critic on a critical note, my main problem with this special is how conflicting it is with itself. Scooby wants to be taken more seriously, but in the context of the movie even though he's a real actor he still has cartoon mannerisms and physics. This leads to Shaggy butting in to translate for him but that leads me to believe that it might be Shaggy's idea to develop Scooby as an actor, not Scooby's. However that's a fan theory for a little later. Don Messick is right, him quitting smoking really did kill the Scooby voice and this gets most noticeable in the singing segments. It also appears the movie was a rushed way of using scrapped and old clips to fill a movie runtime. This could be supported by the fact that this was right before Scrappy saved the show's dying ratings (and if you watch the movie with that in mind it makes for some unintentional humor too) Notice the compilation in the middle, and also how Scooby's pilots and films that are shown off show very little connection to him acting, and more importantly acting well. If Scoob really wanted to be taken seriously, wouldn't they retake the parts where he pops back into (or in this case out maybe?) character. This goes back to my theory that Scooby might not even want this new direction, but instead Shaggy is peer pressuring him. Shaggy acts really pretentious and out of character in this movie, and his second fiddle is a little overplayed to make a gag or two. But I think Shaggy is sick of being in Scooby's shadow and is trying to segway his own fame out of Scooby. Shaggy knows Scoob isn't cut out for being a serious actor, and probobly planned to have Scooby die out in an attempt to 'go hollywood'. Even at the end of the movie, Shaggy has prepared his own 'SHAGGY PiLOTS' and as soon as Scooby goes back to the old show he tries to butt into C.J.'s office with them. Even at the beginning, it was Shaggy's idea to seek out the new roles and a even more luxurious lifestyle. This could make for a pretty funny sequel, and it could work as 'Goes Hollywood' was the first Scooby-Doo movie. I've certainly seen worse stuff, but this film was pretty meh.

It was odd for the first "movie" of sorts but it was nice that the stock themesong of "the new movies" was sung by Fred,Velma and Daphne and they tried to start giving Daphne more to work with.

It's a cheesy movie with cheesier parodies, and that's exactly why it's one of my favorites; it doesn't take itself too seriously. It definitely won't be remembered as one of the greatest films of all time, but I found the songs pretty catchy, and I loved the flashbacks with pup Scooby, very cute. As others mentioned before, Scooby and Cherie's scene together was a highlight of the special. The decision to have the main five be actors rather than themselves was an odd choice, but one I wasn't bothered with too much. Scrappy-Doo's omission is even more surprising, since he had debuted three months prior to the special's airing. Love it or hate it, there's one thing no one can deny: the special is unique and there's nothing else in the franchise quite like it.

While it's not my favorite Scooby movie ever, it's enjoyable for its quirkiness.

This was cheesy but fun. The ending was really sweet, even with people chanting "Scooby-Doo, we need you!" for close to a minute. The way Scooby is touched by how so many kids love him, I felt that way at this year's Fan Expo Boston when I cosplayed as Scooby-Doo there, and was similarly able to make kids happy with my imitations and such, with the way I can transform into a beloved Hanna-Barbera funny animal character. BTW, the background singers in the "Rooby Cool Guy" number look like they came out of a Filmation cartoon! Which is ironic, given that Filmation was basically Hanna-Barbera's biggest rival and would frequently copy them.

I thought this was a ton of fun actually. It's hard to compare to actual Scooby Doo movies but I just think that all of the cheesy and dated parodies are so much fun to go back to. Not the greatest thing ever but I like this

This movie has actually aged better than I'd have expected. If you go into this not expecting a film but more of a double-length TNSDMovies TV special, it's really unique for what it is. The film starts with a parody of The Raven (starring Vincent Price) and goes from that spooky castle scene to a calmer production set, similar to how Reluctant Werewolf and Zombie Island begin. We are also given the first(?) origin story of Scooby. I laughed at Scooby & Shaggy's antics multiple times throughout my last recent watch and was pleasantly surprised at how nice this holds up. Now that '70s media is becoming more dated, this film almost serves as a fun time capsule.
