Like many of the reviews of the current full-lenght movie point out, the original Scooby Doo was somehow very camp and contained some light, but funny, drug references, and had likeable characters.
In respect to this, this version is an absolute lemon and rip-off: the characters are the sort of 6-year-old neurotic kids you sadly see around these days (product of neurotic parents) but wouldn't want to go near.
In one particular episode they had to uncover a drug smuggler, and each time the word "drug" was pronounced, all character went "drugs... bleah!" in disgust, like (stupid) 4-year-olds at chorus practice. So, if the guy who commented that these are the characters "when they were kids", I would like to know what, oh what, took away poor Shaggy's virtue...
On top of it all, in the Italian version Scooby-Doo speaks with a very strong Neapolitan accent, sometimes even Neapolitan dialect.
How low can you get?
