My daughter loves watching the Scooby gang solve mysteries. She sees herself in all of the characters. After every episode. she's off to find suspicious activities and expose the bad guy. I am not a fan of the meddling kids. Not as a kid and not now.
Daphne and Velma have their own feature film! The movie is an updated, live-action look at how the crime-solving duo became best friends and solve a mystery. My mystery fan was excited to watch her two favorites in a movie of their own.
As we settled in to watch the movie, I noticed a string of women's names in the opening credits. Produced by Ashley Tisdale and Jennifer Tisdale’s Blondie Girl Productions, directed by Suzi Yoonessi, one of the writers is a woman, the music and editing were done by women. The movie became a lot more interesting to me.
Besides not being a fan of Scooby Doo and his buddies, the idea of a movie without them seemed weak. As I watched with my kids, it dawned on me that this movie was not made for people in my age group. This is absolutely for a new generation. And, how awesome is it to have women taking the lead. Not only showing how these two unlikely friends teamed up but reimagined with attitude, smarts, and independence.
