Scooby-Doo! And Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery

Plot synopsis:
Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are traveling to an amusement park called Kiss World to see Kiss at their big Halloween concert and solve a mystery, mostly because Daphne has a crush on Starchild (Paul Stanley), much to Fred's jealousy.
After Scooby and the gang arrive, security chief and former government defense employee Delilah Domino refuses to let them in. So they sneak in and are caught by Delilah. At that moment, KISS arrives, and after the gang explains that they are there to help, they tell her the kids are free to stay. However, The Demon (Gene Simmons) is against Scooby and the gang staying, because when Scooby and Shaggy first saw him, Scooby squirted him with a water gun. Shaggy and Scooby are chased by an entity; fortunately, Kiss comes to their aid. They tell the gang that the entity chasing Shaggy and Scooby is called the Crimson Witch, and she has been terrorizing the park for a while, and they need her gone before the concert.
A strange fortune teller named Chikara says that the witch is from an alternate universe called Kissteria and plans to use the black diamond that Kiss uses in their hit song "Detroit Rock City" to summon a monster called The Destroyer to destroy the earth, which Velma finds hard to believe. In order to stop the Crimson Witch, the gang uses the diamond to lure the witch. However, the Crimson Witch chases them through a portal to KISSteria to get the black diamond. She manages to get the diamond and unleash The Destroyer, but the gang and Kiss arrive to stop The Destroyer.
While Kiss performs at their concert, Scooby and his friends use a spaceship to defeat The Destroyer. The gang then return to Earth, where they wake up believing that the witch's gas caused them all to have a hallucination. They unmask the Crimson Witch as Delilah, who wished to sell the black diamond (needed for laser technology) to a competing defense company to get back at her former employers.
Later, Starchild (Stanley) kisses Daphne right in front of Fred. Daphne then gives Fred a kiss on the cheek, much to his delight. The Demon (Simmons) gives Shaggy and Scooby a smile. Shaggy and Scooby then see Kiss fly away with the black diamond. Shaggy asks Scooby if they should tell Velma about what they saw. However, Scooby suggests they do not, stating "Why rock her world?"

Review:
This time we have the gang side by side by the largely successful and now iconic rock band ''KISS'' Against a new villain.
The only real downfall i have to say is that this might not strike as glamorous to non-Kiss fans yet still worth checking out if you'd like a nice comeback of the Scooby-Doo gang because the characters are all spot on just like you remember them.
Very surprised with the voice acting by all the Kiss band members as they all did what they had to in the best way possible.
Closing up this is most certainly a MUST WATCH for kiss fans as the references to certain things are not only very clever but also to the point that makes you think of how great an actually kiss movie in this universe could actually be.
The KISS Lore is off the charts!This Scooby movie SCORES!.
I neither loved nor hated their music, but admired their merchandising strategy and as someone who spent the 90′s working in a Heavy Metal record store, we made sure to order every crazy KISS item we could.But after watching this movie it is hard to not be a KISS fan.
KISS songs are peppered throughout the movie and they all sound great.
Everything the band does in this movie is mind-blowingly cool.The Scooby Doo end of this movie is spot on and done to perfection.
Velma gets some one-on-one time with The Spaceman as she grips tightly to hold on to her skepticism.Only having read a few of the Psycho Circus comics, I am not sure what lore other comics created for KISS, but this movie expands the mythos surrounding the band in exciting, imaginative and fairly logical ways.
Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown.) (BTW DC Lego movies have more action and less dumb comedy than Star Wars Lego movies.)Blu Ray special features also include 2 episodes from the 3rd season of Scooby Doo Where Are You (Part of the Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour) S03E04 To Switch A Witch and S03E11 The Diabolical Disc Demon.Buy/Don't Buy: Yes. Buy.
Our passport to the KISS realm is the Scooby gang so KISS gets to be mysterious.
I would love it if Warner Animation created a Hanna Barbera-style cartoon series for Cartoon Network with a group of Mystery Solving Teens who summon KISS whenever they find themselves in trouble.
Scooby Looking Good in Kiss Make-Up. Scooby-Doo and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery (2015) *** (out of 4) Scooby and the gang are headed to a KISS amusement park for a big concert but once they get there they are saddened to learn that it has been canceled because a phantom is stalking the park.
The group agrees to help the band try and find out who the phantom is and why she's there.As a life-long Scooby-Doo fan, I've been disappointed with the last couple movies but this one here gets things back on track and it's really a nice little throw-back to the Scooby Doo Movies, which had the gang teaming up with various famous people for one hour episodes.
This movie here has some of the best animation from the series and there's no doubt that the use of the KIiss music is a major plus.
I won't ruin which of their songs are played here but they certainly help punch up the action and especially the song playing over the title credits.As far as the story goes, it's actually fairly interesting, although the mystery is pretty much a disaster as it's obvious who the bad guy is going to be.
Scooby and his boys are in fine form here and I thought the animated Kiss members were a lot of fun.SCOOBY-DOO AND KISS: ROCK AND ROLL MYSTERY isn't the best movie of the series but it's certainly has some fresh moments and the music is great.
I hate that the comics always seem to center around The Elder but this movie mixes it up by throwing in a black diamond and even a bad guy named the Destroyer, who looks an awful lot like Galactus(he even threatens to swallow the earth).
Great fun for Scooby fans, Kiss fans, and especially if you're a fan of both!.
What is a Halloween WITHOUT Kiss or the Scooby Gang?
Yup the Fearless Five team up with the Hottest Band In The World to solve the mystery of the Crimson Witch, an especially vicious new monster that is terrorizing the visitors to the Kiss themed amusement park known as Kiss World on Halloween Night.
The five Scooby-Doo characters have never looked better.
We all know the basic Scooby-Doo plot and it was always straight forward.
Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, Fred, and Scooby stumble onto another weird situation, run for their lives from the monster, and then solve the mystery and expose the buttface in the mask and costume that was causing all the trouble at the episodes end (and always revealing their solutions with an ironic comparative ease - after all if they figured out it was just some harmless ordinary idiot in a costume and mask from the start, then what were they so frightened of?).
That was why it was so successful and Hanna-Barbera used it many times over in their various shows (Speed Buggy, Jabberjaw, etc.) Here the plot concerns a Black Diamond the band must protect, and the Witch wants desperately, while the Scooby Gang helps the band out in their quest.
And that is where the plot of "Scooby-Doo and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery" kicks into gear and things get complicated.
I'm just saying that it seems a little bit off putting for viewers that are more used to 30 minute Scooby adventures, like myself.But the real treat here is the voice casting.
For non-actors (well Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley has done acting before) there is rarely a flat reading of lines by the them and it is a joy to hear them sound like voice acting pros.Another added plus is the slathering of Kiss references that are plastered throughout the movie.
A couple of examples: when the gang is watching a video of the Witch doing her evil, she smashes a guitar.
When told that the Scooby Gang will join them whether he likes it or not, the Demon (Gene Simmons) replies "Oy" referencing the fact that Simmons is Jewish.
Kiss fanatics, like yours truly, will be in Kiss trivia hog heaven here.In all this is a great Scooby adventure, a great Kiss adventure, and a great Halloween movie.
Along with great Kiss songs (the opening credits are a knockout) and a new Kiss song that is fun to listen to, "Scooby-Doo and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery" will definitely get your Halloween Rockin and Rolling All Nite!My Rating (from Excellent to Poor): Good.
May not be Scooby at his best, but still had an absolute blast watching this.
And KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery may not be one of the best of the Scooby Doo films in the way Witch's Ghost, Zombie Island, Big Top, Mask of the Blue Falcon and Goblin King are, but it is hardly a lesser effort (Monster of Mexico is my personal least favourite) and is definitely worth a watch.The animation is great, some of the most imaginative and funky of any Scooby Doo film.
Even better, and perhaps the best thing about the film, is the terrific rock and roll soundtrack filled with a mix of KISS' biggest hits and songs every bit as catchy, KISS fans will be in KISS heaven almost certainly.Scooby Doo!
And KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery is a smartly written and funny film as well, with some endearing goofy slapstick and jokes, great inside jokes with KISS and witty digs at Fred's taste in music and commercialism in the business.
The story is always diverting, love the over-the-top strangeness of the KISS scenes and it didn't feel too much of a KISS rock video and while the ending did feel rushed, not quite explained enough and the identity of the villain a little obvious the mystery is fun and suspenseful.The characters all engage, Scooby and the gang are true to personality, fun to watch and have an easy-going chemistry, Velma is more likable than she has been in some of the more recent outings and Shaggy and Scooby's friendship is charming as always.
KISS are great additions and have really interesting personalities, while the villain is an appropriately spooky one.
The voice work is very good, the Scooby Doo regulars (especially Matthew Lillard) are spot on and KISS are a very pleasant surprise and sound more than comfortable in their as themselves roles.All in all, not Scooby Doo at his best, but Scooby Doo!
And KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery is never less than a rocking good time, and at its best it's an absolute blast.
going to one of their concerts back then was still amazing, but not because of the show and the music any longer, it was because of the audience.after licensing their image for anything that made them money, from comics to toys (a practice that still persists, only these days few care about kiss anymore), you'd go to a concert and you'd see children as young as 3 made up like one of the band, on the shoulders of their parents (also made up, and generally as peter criss/the cat), and the punchline of the joke was that a great many of these parents did not generally like either the band or the music outside of a couple of tracks.it was their kids, that playing with kiss toys, reading kiss comics and buying into their stage personalities, became "fans" of the band.seriously, i lived it, but you can look it up.this was the very reason for the beginning of their decline, which then forced them to abandon the make up in an attempt to reverse the trend and return to their serious rock band days; which at that point didn't work, because by that time their mind set had switched from musical excellence to commercialism, so they lost that spark that made them special in the 70s.things like the kiss casket, the kiss condoms, the terrible commercial lectures of ...
There was so much sh!t about the rock band KISS just in the first 6 minutes, it was annoying as anything.
I know KISS is in the stupid title of this movie but come on.
It just came off as pathetic pandering to mindless KISS fans who will automatically like anything with the logo of this overrated band on it.
I mean dammit, was this written by a 5 year old KISS fan or something?
I usually like Scooby-Doo cartoons, they're for children but they are more of the sophisticated kiddy cartoons out there (if you get what I'm saying).
I know what you're going to say, but you only watched 6 minutes and a few seconds of the film, how can you even judge it?
When the plot is super-simple, the dialogue reads like a 5 year old wrote it (I am not even joking.
I am willing to bet you that the dialogue in the first 6 minutes of the film used a word with more than 5 letters in it) and there is never a second where you don't see anything not related to KISS on the screen, then you know the movie is going to p!ss you off.
But like I said before, KISS fans will buy anything.
Even the whole Scooby gang mystery team are all wearing KISS clothing and make-up, I can not believe someone actually signed off on this film..
scooby and kiss rock n roll.
Scooby- doo + kiss = perfect!
A must watch for all kiss and scooby-doo fans.
This movie is like eating Scooby snacks laced with acid.
I swear, I thought I was watching a vintage Scooby-Doo!
I love the Scooby Doo series and movies.
This movie was different the art was excellent and the visuals and animation was colorful and great.
At the end the women in costumes had breast too big for kids cartoon or for even me I found it kind of offensive.The musical group "Kiss" that was popular over 20 years was in this with their painted faces.
I don't know why this group was included with Scooby Doo to make a movie unless it is because of the Halloween season.
The Scooby characters were basically the same Frank Welker,Mindy Cohn,Grey Griffin and Matthew Lillard all very good and funny.Penny Marshall who played years ago in Lavern and Shirley was "The Elder" who was supposed to be a strong good character spoke with a lisp which did not sound good.What was really funny is the regular Scooby characters like Scooby and Shaggy their hunger and shaking in fear is comical.
Scooby Doo and Kiss!: Rock and Roll Mystery.
The film Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park is one of the best worst good bad movies in the History of the world...
And Kiss!: Rock and Roll Mystery simultaneously works as an animated pseudo-sequel and an appropriate crossover with the Scooby Doo universe.
except for the creation of a "mystery" which must be solved by the "Scooby-gang" and Kiss, who secretly possess supernatural powers associated to their distinctive personalities: Demon, Star Child, Spaceman and Catman.
The real names of the band members are never mentioned, but Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer lend their voices to the respective characters, and they do it well; I would particularly want to point out the fact that Simmons had a lot of fun with his work as the aggressive Demon, who initially hates the "Scooby-gang", even though he eventually finds out the fact they are good investigators and might help to save Kiss World, the exotic amusement park based on the music from Kiss.
As for the "Scooby-gang", we have Frank Welker, Matthew Lillard, Mindy Cohn and Grey Griffin lending the voices to their traditional roles.
Scooby Doo and Kiss!: Rock and Roll Mystery can't be taken seriously as a "mystery", and maybe, not even as part of the Scooby Doo saga (even though I haven't watched various of its straight-to-DVD films, so making a comparison wouldn't be fair).
The attraction offered by Scooby Doo and Kiss!: Rock and Roll Mystery begins and ends with the presence of Kiss, and only the fans of the band will be able to appreciate the uncountable details related to the life and work from that music group (including references to Psycho Circus, the old Marvel comics and the conceptual disc The Elder).
In conclusion, Scooby Doo and Kiss!: Rock and Roll Mystery is very far from being a great film, but I found it a decent cultural curiosity with enough humor and allusions to keep the fans of Kiss entertained.
And don't forget to watch the "easter egg" during the final credits, in which Kiss plays a song of "The Five Ascots" (the character Fred's favorite group) in a doo-wop style very different to the usual rock from the band..
Scooby and Gang Rock n Roll with KISS.
That's right, Scooby (voice of Frank Welker) and the rest of the Mystery Machine gang take a back seat while the famous rock band investigates haunted happenings at their own theme park.
But when this case proves to be too much for even Gene Simmons (a.k.a. The Demon), Paul Stanley (a.k.a. The Starchild), and the rest of their band to handle, you can bet that the hungry hound and his pals will be there to help give evil the heave-ho."Scooby-Doo!
and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery" carries on the celebrity crossover tradition that's had our canine crime-buster run into Batman and the Harlem Globetrotters in previous years.
That the powers that be waited so long to bring about this team-up is no less weird than the pairing itself, but the flick brings a self-aware silliness to the table that excuses many of its more far-fetched moments.As a matter of fact, with all of the references to their songs scattered about along with a dig on their own brand-merchandising gimmicks down the years, and the soundtrack blasting said tunes constantly, KISS fans are liable to get as much enjoyment out of this movie as would Scooby fans, if not a bit more.
Unfortunately, this is also sort of a problem, for while the rocking music and psychedelic animation are great, the presence of Scooby and the gang ends up downplayed as a result.
This time they just assist KISS in chasing the easily-identifiable villain around before a rather unceremonious unmasking at the end.
and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery" is about on par with most of the eponymous pooch's escapades even though it doesn't scale the heights of some of the gang's superior outings (like last year's "Scooby-Doo!
WrestleMania Mystery" for instance); it's really simple and zany, but it's a harmless and genuinely funny little ditty all the same, and scores extra points for providing pure nostalgia to KISS and Scooby- Doo fans alike..
The plot is bad, the unmasking at the end isn't properly explained of why the villain did what she did, and to say this is a kids' film, it was Un- entertaining.
Not many kids would know who Kiss is and the fact that this is Scooby Doo makes it even worse as it is supposed to entertain young children.
It is the worst Scooby Doo ever made!
I'm watching Scooby-Doo films since i remember myself and i like them.
In one scene of the movie (29:01) Velma says "She smells like hobo".
I'm really disappointed.The point is to help our children to become better persons and respect the other beings in this world, humans & animals, not help them to characterize someone (for example "hobos" smell bad) by its appearance, without knowing first the character of the person or the story of his/her life.
