Blu-ray Review – Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery

The band KISS doesn't have a particularly encouraging history with theme park mysteries. In 1978, the group starred in "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park," a fantastically ridiculous television movie that attempted to rebrand the creatures of the night as comic book heroes, with their shared superpower apparently being complete acting inability. Decades have passed, blockbuster tours have rocked the world, and KISS has finally found a place of professional stability. Returning to the hero realm, the unit has teamed up with cartoon legends for "Scooby-Doo! And KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery," which brings back the roller coasters, the themed property, and underground evildoing from an enigmatic villain. Wisely avoiding a live-action extravaganza, KISS makes a fine transition to animation, contributing songs, one-liners, and artful spectacle as the musicians befriend a talking dog and his sleuthing friends for an adventure that travels through space and devours churros, making theme parks safe again for highly decorated rock bands.
