The official trailer for Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo! has just been posted on YouTube! The movie features Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? animation, and will be animated by Snipple Animation, the same company who animated Guess Who. No date was given in the trailer, but since it's a Halloween film, I think it's safe to assume this will come out in October. As previously announced, Amazon France has already announced that the release date in France will be October 25.
Trick or Treat is also now listed on both TVGuide and the British Film Broadcasting System site, further confirming its legitimacy. The Australian release date is October 19.

FINALLY SOMETHING!!! And in the Guess Who Style that’s new too! When is it coming in the US/everywhere else? Probably the same day?

We're not sure on a date yet, but I'm assuming sometime around Halloween since it's coming out in France on October 25 (and because the movie is Halloween-themed).

Hoping for the best but from trailer and animation style, this looks an absolute mess. I just hope I'm wrong, premise looks half decent.

The premise seems incredibly different from anything that's been done before. I'm also hoping for the best but yeah, I agree it does look a bit strange on first watch of the trailer!

The animation looks awful, there just seems too much going on in the trailer and looks like way to much fan service again rather than try something new.. And not our first Scooby media, we've had comics, a fan series and a book so far, not much but far from nothing.

We all love Scooby Doo here so you'd be silly to call us haters. Just face it, 2020-2022 Scooby Doo has been pretty weak.

To be honest I'm not hating, I've just been let down so many times past few years with poor Scooby movies, Return zombie island, 13 Ghosts etc. It is just better not to get your hopes up and be pleasantly surprised if it turns out not to be a pile of poop.

@Jayden, surprised you didn't include 2019 in there, that's easily the worst year for Scooby in a long-ass time.

Michael Kurinsky said that an unfinished version of Scoob: Holiday Haunt was screened to the cast and crew. Again, it won't be released, but at least there's something for the crew.

the trailer looks terrible and I'm not even talking about the art style (which is okay, I guess)... but it's so strange... it's so badly structured, it lacks a soundtrack, no climax, it looks like a last minute thing... I fear it will be an hour long Guess Who episode, you know what I mean: flat
Reply
8/22/2022 02:45:59 pm
The trailer did seem a bit less cinematic than a lot of the previous trailers have been. I was wondering where the soundtrack was too. In terms of it being a last-minute thing, I could absolutely see them pulling this together last minute if this was finished right before the chaos of the merger. I can't really tell from the trailer if this is going to have the exact same tone as Guess Who, but I'm hoping it doesn't personally.

Hmm, movie seems very weird and strange, at least from the trailer. We'll see how good it is when it comes out (which surely has to be end of October). Glad it didn't get canned though.

I’ll toast to this, at the very least, it doesn’t look dull like Guess Who. Although, in this case, I really do hope that weird means good and interesting in this case 8/22/2022 02:44:44 pm
It definitely has a different feel than the other recent Scooby movies. If it were a Goblin King sort of situation, I wouldn't mind the film being a bit weird.

I love this!! The animation looks great, and it's finally a step away from the same DTV look we've had for ages. It reminds me of when all the early 2000s movies had the What's New look to match the era! I hope we get more in this guess who style.
Reply
8/22/2022 02:44:12 pm
Agreed! Certain aspects of the trailer seem a bit weird, but weird can definitely be good as we saw with Goblin King (at least IMO). I'd love another wacky Halloween film. I hadn't thought of it in comparison to the WNSD era films like that, but that would be interesting if we got a bunch of DTVs in the Guess Who style.

I'm pretty sure those were monstrous versions of the Scooby gang! Yeah, if they shift the animation to be in this style from now on, it will definitely take some getting used to.

I would say of this animation, Daphne's design has always been my least favorite. I don't dislike the animation, but it's not my favorite either. I'd be totally down for weird if it were like Goblin King. It definitely seems like there will be a lot of meta joke. Scooby even says "this whole franchise is named after me!" lol. I would say my opinion is the same as yours: it definitely looks weird and the Guess Who animation wouldn't have been my first pick, but I'm looking forward to seeing the film and don't plan to judge it before I've seen it.

It's really interesting to see the variety of opinions on this film! I completely agree with your opinion about the 2010s DTV quality starting to wane as it went on. The later 2010s films weren't bad, but they weren't that same level of top-tier quality that the early 2010s movies were as the decade went on.

It's not that I don't want to seem ungrateful. It has a kind of interesting story, but it's so cheap looking, as in Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?: The Movie. 22 minutes was bad enough, now we're looking at least 80 minutes.

I will be very interested to see if it's just the animation that's in Guess Who style, or if they're copying the tone as well. And yeah, I agree with Amber. I'm thinking this was fully made before Zaslav was hired.

I'll reserve comment on the plot until I've watched the whole movie. Quick thoughts: (1) Lol it's the Himalayan cat man from Scrappy shorts! Strange that they're bringing him back of all things, but I'm not complaining. (2) Some of the cuts seemed to be distorting faces/bodies to Adult Swim levels of gross. E.g., 0:28. (3) I wish the Guess Who door gags did more to mix it up.

8/22/2022 08:17:26 pm
I didn't notice the Himalayan Catman on first watch, but I saw it when I watched it again! Very strange pick for them to choose. The animation definitely isn't my favorite, but I'm hoping I'll get used to it like I did with Be Cool.

Actually, in terms of animation, it looks cheaper than Guess Who, which is painfully ironic given that it's a movie.

Yeah, interestingly it doesn't seem as crisp as Guess Who did. I'm trying not to judge it before I see the movie, but yeah, the animation will take a bit of getting used to.

The trailer looks interesting First off I don't mind the guess who art style I prefer the dtv we had since 2010 but this style isn't bad and the animation is pretty good too the plot is kind of weird and the monsters themselves look terrifying when the synopsis said ghostly dopplegangers this is not what I expected. To me this feels like it could be a finale to guess who from the doppelgangers to the designer of the costumes from past villains I kind of get that vibe.
Reply
8/22/2022 08:32:06 pm
I wasn't expecting anything like this for the villains either. I'm not as bothered by the Guess Who style as a lot of people. The animation itself isn't my favorite, but I wouldn't say I dislike it either.

Watching it a day after, the trailer worked a bit better. Mostly because I didn't really focus on the monstrous gang the first time around, but that part of it is actually pretty cool. It's done differently enough to not be a copy of A Scooby-Doo Valentine, since those were doppelgängers, while this time they're like the gang reincarnated into creatures from hell lmao.

The bearded guy at 0:40 is the only convict I recognized off the bat, but I couldn't place my finger on who exactly he was. I knew I had seen him before, but I realize now that's Dr Grimsley from A Creepy Tangle in the Bermuda Triangle! I like that they're bringing back some non-SDWAY villains. Helps that I love that TSDS episode too.

I just watched it again myself, and it's been growing on me too. I understand people's concern about it just being a 72-minute long Guess Who episode, and I think that would be a bit of a stretch myself, but I absolutely agree this looks a lot more unique than the typical Guess Who episode. The trailer is very chaotic by itself, so I can only imagine how much is going on in the actual movie haha.

The tone seems zanier than Guess Who. Which is a plus due to Guess Who's dullness. But I hope it's not just chaos for the sake of chaos. Not much plot shown in the trailer despite the interesting premise. 8/23/2022 02:29:20 pm
Agreed, I'm hoping the tone isn't just a bunch of chaos either, but I'm glad it's livelier than Guess Who.

As time went by, I liked less and less the animation that was made in South Korea for the DTVs. Snipple has much better quality, fluidity and keyframes... But the characters are off model and uncanny. I know it's intentional, but it doesn't look as good with Scooby-Doo as it does with Looney Tunes Cartoons.

It's really interesting to see how different people's perspectives are on this! I agree that the animation definitely looks a lot choppier than Guess Who did. The tone also seems much wackier than the show was, like you said. I also am really intrigued by the meta-ness of this, and I'm happy that we're getting some more obscure references.

i hated this. orginally i wanted scooby doo to be kept away from disney but honestly, they might actually do something right. So far the best thing to come out in the past 10 years was the batman movie, one minute mystery, the first part of the third act of the courage movie, and the stage fright.
