Daphne & Velma Original Movie Review
State of the art robots and high-tech gadgets are common sights at Ridge Valley High, an innovative center of learning for some of the brightest minds in the country, including new transfer student, the bright & optimistic Daphne Blake (Sarah Jeffery) who is excited to finally go to school with her online bestie, the whip-smart & analytical Velma Dinkley (Sarah Gilman).
But not everything is as innocent as it seems as mysterious disappearances begin to plague the top-performing students on campus. Once cheery and full of life, kids now appear in a “zombiefied†state – lifeless and shells of themselves. Can Daphne and Velma learn to work together and save the students or will they become the next victims? Get ready for thrills and laughs as we follow the first adventures of Mystery Inc.’s fierce female duo.
Daphne and Velma, the smart and resourceful women of Scooby-Doo fame, come to life in this all-new mystery,†said Mary Ellen Thomas, WBHE, Vice President, TV Marketing, Family & Animation. “Young girls will be delighted to discover how these clever heroines come together for their very first mystery demonstrating that no mystery is too big for these “meddling†girls to solve!â€
“Daphne & Velma†is produced by Blue Ribbon Content and Blondie Girl Productions with Production Services provided by Lifeboat Productions Inc. Ashley Tisdale (Young & Hungry), Jennifer Tisdale (Her Universe Fashion Show), Amy Kim (Confess, Chosen), Jaime Burke (Cassandra French’s Finishing School, Quantum Break) and Suzi Yoonessi (Olive and Mochha: First Kiss) serve as producers, with Yoonessi also directing from a script written by Kyle Mack & Caitlin Meares.
My thoughts
Daphne & Velma is an amazing movie with two strong female lead characters. The girls are great role models with absolutely zero interest in boys, makeup, gossip, etc. that often play a large part in movies targeting tweens/early teens. Like the original Scooby Doo movies, the film is hilariously funny and keeps your attention through to the end. This movie is meant to be a prequel – a “before Scooby Doo” so take it as a separate movie and enjoy it on its own. I highly recommend it for a fun summer movie for the whole family. Buy it today.
