Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!

 

                                        Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! 

I love Scooby-Doo it was my favorite show as a kid I never missed an 

episode, I have every episode on DVD in my collection. This movie is my 

favorite cause it has snow, a great story, and amazing animation. It is an 

adventure that Scooby and Shaggy go on without the other members of 

the gang until they get in trouble and find a mystery that needs solved, 

the others meet up with Shaggy and Scooby and solve it. It is a 

wonderful story that the whole family will enjoy, so if you haven't seen 

it, rent it or buy it and sit down with whole family, pop some popcorn 

and enjoy like so many others have. So, with that, lets get to the story 

shall we:

On a climbing expedition in the Himalayas, Professor Jeffries is led by his 

Sherpa, Pemba, to a high point on a mountain using an ancient tablet. 

Jeffries is out looking for the Abominable Snowman, who lives in the 

mountains. He's convinced that the Snowman lives close by, but Pemba 

tells him he won't lead Jeffries anymore, as it would be intruding on the 

territory of the Abominable Snowman. Jeffries, who seems to care about 

the Snowman over their safety, decides to cut the rope and continue. As 

soon as Jeffries fades from view, Pemba sees the outline of a large 

creature in front of him.

Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne and Velma are on vacation in Paris. 

However, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy have not arrived yet, and the gang 

wonders where they are. Shaggy and Scooby are in a small plane that 

they think is going to Paris, but is really going to the Himalayas to drop 

off Alphonse LaFleur, a French hunter and trapper. LaFleur wants to find 

and kill the Snowman, and is taking Shaggy and Scooby along as bait. 

LaFleur then locks Shaggy and Scooby up with his equipment, and 

throws them off the plane. Shaggy, realizing they are not going to Paris, 

manages to get a quick phone call through to Fred before the phone goes 

dead. Fred uses the GPS on his phone to track them, and then he, 

Daphne and Velma head to the Himalayas to find them.

Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby manage to land near a small village on 

the mountain, where Professor Jeffries and Pemba currently are. Jeffries 

tells Pemba he never should have left him, and that he almost died on 

the mountain. Many of the other villagers are leaving, fearing the 

creature and its wrath. Shaggy and Scooby go to the High Lama to ask 

for a phone to call their friends. The High Lama, a strange person, tells 

them there is only a phone on the weather station nearby. The High 

Lama is uneasy about letting them go in, but lets them. In the room is a 

statue of the Snowman holding a very large crystal, which the High Lama 

says it protects the villagers from the Abominable Snowman's powers. 

They then meet Pemba's sister Minga, who has decided to stay in the 

village. Minga constantly listens to the radio, and has a crush on the DJ 

from the station that she's listening to. Pemba tells her to leave the 

village, and he, Shaggy, Scooby and Jeffries who says that everyone 

should stick together, decide to go to the weather station. LaFleur 

arrives, and decides to accompany them.

As they travel, Minga runs up to them and says that she heard on the 

radio that a big storm is approaching. Shaggy wonders how there could 

be any radio reception so high up, and Pemba tells him there isn't, as it's 

just the weather station man pretending to be a DJ. Pemba realizes that 

Minga has a crush on the weatherman and deduces that she's just 

tagging along with them as an excuse to meet him. Minga denies this, 

and explains that there really is a storm coming. Everyone looks up and 

sees a dark cloud, and they decide to set up camp to wait out the storm. 

During the night, Jeffries gets out of his tent and leaves with his sled, 

which is filled with TNT and other explosives. Some time later, the 

Snowman attacks Shaggy and Scooby. LaFleur tries to capture the 

Snowman, but fails when all his traps backfire on the Snowman, instead 

working on him. Scooby and Shaggy manage to lose the Snowman but 

get lost themselves. However, they are relieved to see a snowplow 

approach them. In the snowplow is Del Chillman, whom the gang had 

met before. Del takes them to the weather station, where he works. 

Chillman tells them he decided to take the job so he could find out if the 

legend of the creature is true. He also reveals that he's the 

DJ/weatherman. He had the radio just to do weather reports, but plays 

songs to pass the time.

Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne and Velma get to the village and see it is 

deserted. They follow Shaggy's tracks and see where the party camped 

the night before, and also the footprints of the Snowman. Velma notes 

that they are not very deep in the snow. They find Pemba, who was 

caught by one of LaFleur's traps. Minga is nowhere to be found and 

Jeffries is still gone, so the gang decides to split up and search for 

everyone else. At the weather station, Del goes out to look for the 

others. Once he leaves, the Snowman appears and attacks Shaggy and 

Scooby. As they run away, LaFleur shows up, tries to capture the 

creature, and struggles to save Shaggy and Scooby, but fails, and falls 

off a cliff, apparently to his death, or better yet whether he might have 

survived the fall. Scooby and Shaggy manage to escape and find their 

way to the lost kingdom of Shangri-La, but are pursued by the Snowman.

Del catches up to the rest of the gang, but finds the weather station 

destroyed and some helium tanks missing. As Scooby and Shaggy walk 

around the city, the Abominable Snowman appears and chases them. 

Daphne and Pemba find a large cave and go inside, and conclude that is 

where the Snowman lives. They also find an empty helium case. Shaggy 

and Scooby lose the Snowman again, and everyone meets up in an 

old mine, each coming from a different direction. There, they see Jeffries 

mining for crystals like the one on the Yeti statue. They capture him and 

conclude he is the Snowman, although he denies it. Then the Snowman 

appears and chases everyone, while Jeffries gets free and follows them. 

The Snowman chases Shaggy, Scooby, and Jeffries down the mountain. 

Jeffries attempts to get the crystals in the mine cart that Scooby and 

Shaggy are riding in. The rest of the gang prepares a trap for the 

Snowman, but Shaggy, Scooby and Jeffries get caught in it. The High 

Lama comes out to see what happened. Then an avalanche starts, and 

almost crushes Velma and Del, but the Snowman saves them at the last 

moment. The Snowman is revealed to be Minga, who has been behind 

the mystery from the very beginning. She used the helium to fly, which 

caused the footprints to not be as deep. Minga confesses that she did it 

so that Del wouldn't stop broadcasting his radio show also her way of 

admitting that she has feelings for Del. Del's touched by what Minga 

says, and finds it romantic. Jeffries is taken to jail because he was taking 

the crystals for his own gain. The gang wonders if there really is a 

Snowman, but then LaFleur appears and tells them that something saved 

him from his fall and brought him to the village presumably the real 

Snowman.

The gang, along with Del and Minga who are now boyfriend and 

girlfriend, return to Paris for their vacation. Unfortunately, Fred gets on 

the wrong plane and ends up in the Amazon. The others go to find Fred, 

with Daphne complaining, "I'd like to have a vacation that 

actually stays a vacation."
