Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!
Mystery Inc. faces the Yeti in the Himalayas.
Last updated
The eleventh direct-to-video Scooby-Doo movie, this 2007 animated comedy mystery from Warner Bros. Animation hit DVD on September 4. It honors character designer Iwao Takamoto and marks the final Scooby-Doo film Joseph Barbera worked on before his passing.
Plot
A college professor named Jeffries hires a Sherpa guide, Pemba, to help him search for Shangri-La. Pemba becomes hesitant to continue, worried about entering the Yeti's territory. Jeffries goes on alone anyway, but the Yeti attacks both of them. Meanwhile, Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley from Mystery Inc. are on vacation in Paris, but they notice their friends Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo are missing.
Shaggy and Scooby accidentally board the wrong plane and end up in the Himalayas with a French-Canadian hunter and trapper named Alphonse LaFleur, who wants to kill the Yeti and forces the pair to act as bait. Shaggy briefly calls Fred before the signal cuts out. Using his phone's GPS, Fred finds their location and leads the girls to the Himalayas to rescue them.
Back in the mountains, Shaggy, Scooby, and LaFleur arrive at a small, nearly empty village. There they meet Jeffries and Pemba, who have just escaped the Yeti. Looking for a phone, Shaggy and Scooby visit the High Lama, who tells them about a nearby weather station and shows them a large crystal he believes protects the village from the Yeti. Jeffries overhears this and becomes interested in the crystal.
Before they leave for the station, Pemba's sister Minga joins the group and warns them about an approaching snowstorm. During the journey, Pemba mentions that the station's owner works as a radio DJ on the side, and he realizes Minga has a crush on the DJ and joined the group to meet him. When the storm hits, they set up camp for the night, but Jeffries sneaks away with explosives. The Yeti then attacks Shaggy and Scooby.
LaFleur tries to capture the creature, but his plan fails, and Shaggy and Scooby get lost while fleeing. They are rescued by Del Chillman, an amateur cryptozoologist they met at Loch Ness, who now works at the weather station and takes them there.
At the same time, the rest of Mystery Inc. reaches the village and follows the tracks up the mountain. They find Pemba, but Minga and Jeffries are missing. As they split up to search, Chillman leaves Shaggy and Scooby to look for the others.
The Yeti attacks them again. LaFleur returns to help, but he falls off a cliff and appears to die. While escaping, Shaggy and Scooby briefly stumble upon Shangri-La, but the Yeti attacks them a third time.
