You won’t see the adorable dog, Scooby-Doo, his loyal friend, Shaggy, and any other members of Mystery Inc. in this film, so if you’re looking for something true to the source material, this probably isn’t the film for you. But, if you’re looking for a fun way to introduce your kids to the Scooby-Doo franchise, then this might be the way to do it.
Daphne and Velma is rated G.
