LEGO Scooby-Doo!: Haunted Hollywood

The Mystery Inc. crew is back again, this time cashing in on the popularity of the LEGO animation franchise. In LEGO Scooby Doo! Haunted Hollywood, talking dog Scooby and bohemian best buddy Shaggy win a trip to Brickton Studios after crushing the competition in a hamburger-eating contest. Along with Fred, Velma, and Daphne, the crime-solving team lands smack-dab in the middle of a stereotypical mystery, here revolving around the cash-strapped studio's beleaguered films in production and a creepy glowing-head horseman bent on sabotage. Naturally, the gang will become involved in the filming while trying to uncover the identity of costumed troublemaker(s) behind the shenanigans. Featuring LEGO-style characters, a variety of different soundstage backdrops, and corny songs, this is a well-produced entry (with a voice cameo by Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson in a familiar role) in the long-running series. Extras include bonus featurettes and vintage cartoons. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
