Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire
Mystery Inc. faces vampires at an Australian music contest.
Last updated
Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire is a 2003 American direct-to-video animated adventure film, the fifth in a series based on the Scooby-Doo Saturday-morning cartoons. It was the first direct-to-video film in the series to use the flatter, bright art style of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, and the first to return to the original format where the monster is not real. The film was Joseph Barbera's first solo animated production effort without William Hanna, and it reunited the 1969–73 voice cast for the human Mystery Inc. members.
Plot
While traveling through Sydney, Australia, the Mystery Inc. gang head to a music contest at an Outback landmark called Vampire Rock, named after a mythological Australian vampire called the Yowie Yahoo. They reunite with the Hex Girls and meet festival managers Daniel and Russell; Daniel's disapproving grandfather, Malcolm; and competing band Two Skinny Dudes. After learning a performer was kidnapped by vampires, Mystery Inc. investigates. Daniel and Russell explain that a band called Wildwind were turned into vampires by the Yowie Yahoo and haunt Vampire Rock.
Fred enters Mystery Inc. in the contest to lure out the Yowie Yahoo. They are approached by Wildwind's former manager, Jasper Ridgeway, and his band the Bad Omens.
Suspicious of Ridgeway, Mystery Inc. splits up. Fred, Daphne, and Velma investigate Ridgeway's trailer, finding mementos from Wildwind. Shaggy and Scooby are attacked by Wildwind, who later kidnap the Bad Omens and Hex Girls.
