Scooby Doo and Kiss, quite a combo
Granddaughter developed a love of Scooby Doo and Kiss. So this is perfect. DVD came quickly and works well. Digital code inside was expired, but wasn't expecting one, so no disappointment.

Better than you could ever hope for!
Content: Super-Awesome. Other than 1 or 2 of the McFarlane action figures and a handful of the McFarlane comic books, I really have never owned any of KISS’s stuff. 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. I found myself singing Rock N Roll All Night while cutting open the packaging. KISS songs are peppered throughout the movie and they all sound great. The cartoon versions of the band are thinner and younger than their real-life counterparts and possess super-powers. 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. And when Shaggy and Scooby take The Demon’s advice, I cheered very loud because it was super-cool. Fred and Daphne have some great stuff with 2 love triangles involving The Star Child and the scientist lady that makes Fred pull out his creepy evil smile at one point. 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. The titles of Songs, Albums and more take on deeper meanings. The movie keeps pushing the boundaries on what you could possibly expect from it.Bruce Kulick did tweet a post about how this movie does give a shout out to past members of KISS. There is a screenshot and if you are familiar with the lore of KISS, it is right there.Special Features: Good. KISS Cut-Ups is just out takes of KISS doing some promotion for this movie. The finished version of which is not on this release. These bloopers are not really funny.Are You A Scooby or a Shaggy? is KISS, Abby from NCIS and Jay & Silent Bob saying if they relate more to Scooby or Shaggy. Points to Thayer for his out of the box answer, even if he can’t land on the exact name.Trailers: Nothing new. Opens with Legos: DC Heroes: Attack of the Legion of Doom. (first seen on Tom & Jerry vs Jonny Quest) and Tom & Jerry vs Jonny Quest. In the Special Features section trailers for Scooby Doo vs WWE and Lego Dimensions which may be a video game, but the trailer features Joel McHale. (Amazon has 2 different trailers, one feat. 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. This movie does not disappoint in any way. I want more. This is a great format for KISS. 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. Like the Godzilla Power Hour with the trouble alert.

"Scooby-Doo and KISS" Is a Pleasant Must-See Surprise
I seriously can't believe I'm saying this, but "Scooby-Doo and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery" might be one of the best Scooby movies ever.After the goofiness of the WWE films, it's nice to see a crossover that's worth its weight on gold...or maybe patent leather boots. I'll admit...when I first heard about this movie I thought it would be goofy and pointless. I mean come on. Scooby-Doo and the gang teaming up with glam/metal band KISS? This sounds as cash-hungry as you can get. But after watching it? Wow! I was totally proven wrong!So let me get this out of the way. The story is pretty generic and the mystery isn't that good. But that's not the point of the movie. What makes it great is the characters. In a way, it's as close to the original series as you can get, a mixture of the New Scooby-Doo Movies and 90s-era Zombie Island films where the monsters are real.The comedy in the film is top-notch, some of the best to come out of a Scooby-Doo movie and Warner Bros. Animation in general. It almost feels like a longer episode of Freakazoid and Animaniacs (Please do a KISS crossover with these guys! Please, Warner Bros!). Deadpan delivery, vicious sarcasm, and overly violent slapstick make this movie well worth watching.Another great factor is the chemistry between the characters, which has always made Scooby-Doo such a great series. Still, the filmmakers took liberties to make them relatable and pretty mean-spirited at times, which was refreshing for me. Fred has been turned into a conservative jerkface who gets some really snarky lines here and there. Daphne is an overbearing girl-child who is constantly flirting with Starchild. Velma is a know-it-all snob who is always delivering snappy comebacks like a boss. Shaggy and Scooby FINALLY aren't cowardly and don't obsess over food. Yeah, I know I'm nitpicking, but I love how the updated Shaggy and Scooby are brave and charming, just like the versions in the 70s.Now let's get to KISS themselves. Are they represented well? Short answer: you bet. Seeing this film makes me wish KISS gets their own TV series or movie series, maybe in the DC Comics Universe. The band performs well, and I love how their newer music from Sonic Boom is used, rather than updated versions of 70s and 80s recordings. The Demon, Starchild, Catman, and Spaceman are sarcastic, grumpy, pompous, and fun-loving guys pictured as brotherly frat boys dressed in glitter and leather. And I'll give kudos to Paul Stanley for giving a SUPER funny performance. He really does steal the spotlight in this.And the best and most important part? This film appeals to everyone. It's for KISS fans. It's for Scooby fans. It's for people who love both. It's for comic book fans. There's something in it for everybody.Overall, it might not have the strongest story or greatest mystery, but this film is a pleasant, must-see surprise for anyone who loves KISS and Scooby-Doo.

Entretenida
El argumento no es gran cosa (normal si pensamos que está hecha para los chavales), pero poder ver a mis adorados KISS en formato película (aunque sea de dibujos) no tiene precio, los guiños a su universo y discografía son constantes, algunos personajes se llaman como temas suyos (Beth, christine, Shandi). En fin...... Un producto para pasar un rato entretenido. A los fans de la banda les sacará continuamente sonrisas por los guiños y a los chavales les atraerá por ser un tipo de superheroes distintos a los habituales.

Happy customer

Give me Rock!
Great disc set. You get a BluRay (with DTS 5.1 audio!) for the Home Theatre, and also a DVD for the kids to watch in the van. The digital download version is proprietary 'Ultraviolet' and won't work natively on Apple iOS devices (need their app to play)...no big deal for me.This show has made my 3 & 6 year olds KISS fans for life! I'll occasionaly hear them singing the hit songs on their own.
