An original, animated feature set in the frozen wilds of the Himalayas, Chill Out, Scooby Doo! finds best buddies Shaggy and Scooby-Doo on their way to join Freddie, Daphne, and Velma in Paris when they're waylaid by an ambitious hunter out to snare the abominable snowman. Figuring Shaggy and Scooby, as charter members of Mystery, Inc., can find their way to a monster, the hunter pursues the legendary Yeti from one angle while a research scientist and his assistant try to get to the creature from another. Terribly inscrutable about the snowman is the High Lama of Shangri-La, who has his own reasons for keeping a sacred shrine to the Yeti. Caught between these various agendas, of course, are Shaggy and Scooby, who are a long way from Freddie and the others right when they need them most. Yes, it's a typical Scooby adventure, with multiple chase scenes, supernatural phenomena that isn't quite what it seems, and plenty of Scooby snacks devoured by the ever-ravenous Shaggy and his canine best friend. Longtime fans of the various Scooby series and younger kids catching up on Mystery, Inc. culture will certainly appreciate the story. Casey Kasem, as ever, voices Shaggy, though one can hear him getting a little raspy with age. (I salute Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!'s producers for sticking with Kasem; these shows certainly wouldn't be the same without him.) --Tom Keogh

Shaggy and Scooby get on the wrong plane when en route to meet the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang in Paris and end up lost in the Himalayas while an abdominal snowman is on the loose. There is the usual amount of suspects and motives but it's just fresh enough to prevent the plot from becoming tiresome.
The animation just gets better and better with each entry in the Scooby-Doo series and the bright colors and active sound design are a long way from the grainy TV show back in 1969 (though that still has its charm). Fans of the series will be glad to hear that the character of Dell Chillman from Scooby Doo And The Loch Ness Monster [2004] returns for this one, giving some continuity to the otherwise unrelated mysteries.
I must admit that I preferred it when the monsters ended up being real but I guess that each mystery has its own logic and you'll be surprised at who is behind the mask of the adorable snowman.
Keep 'em coming, Warner. That ol' Great Dane could live to a hundred.
What does really bug me is that this movie was drawn and framed in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio and Warner only offers a Full Frame DVD. This is completely unacceptable behavior in 2008, especially since a couple of the previous animated movies were released in anamorphic widescreen here in the UK. The sound is in Dolby 5.1 and a small amount of extras are included.
These would look great on Blu Ray, btw. Hint! Hint!

It's sometimes difficult to know what youre getting with these movies. Scooby Doo is the only thing my 9, 7 and 5 year olds agree on (on those long car journeys) but this is a full length movie like Cyberchase, Alhoa, Where's my Mummy? Loch Ness Monster etc, it has the same feel, the same voice actors etc. so if you have these your children (and you )will like this.
