Hi, Puertorican born and raised on the island, and I wanted to say that you did a great job explaining the lore and myth of the Chupacabra and how it originated in Puerto Rico. I remember it being a Puertorican pop-culture phenomenon with people both being genuinely scared and fascinated by the creature as well as mocking the silliness of it all. Local mayors even went as far as to stage major hunts for the Chupacabra, one of them being Chemo Soto, which was later nicknamed Chemo Jones (as a parody of Indiana Jones) because he was set on finding the creature and proving its existence. There were many songs written about it and it was parodied on Puertorican TV all the time. So I appreciate that you took the time to explain the true origins of the creature. Also funny how the movie has a creature that originated in Puerto Rico yet sets it in Mexico and has two actresses that are native Puertoricans voicing Mexicans... Guess this proves the old mantra of Latinos = Mexicans, am I right? LAWL . But seriously good job providing the context for this movie!

I think it’s just that countries try and replicate another’s myths or history or whatever and just fall short. But honestly it’s fun to sometimes play along with their mistakes. My favorite example is how American westerns (cowboys and the Wildwest) originated as a movie genre in Italy. That explains why they portray frontier history so poorly. But westerns are fun movies that’s why they managed to do well in the country they were originally appropriated from. Or another favorite of mine is how many Japanese eat KFC on Christmas cause a commercial made them believe it’s an American tradition.

I have an answer to explain Fred's language mistakes. He's still a beginner at Spanish and will of course make mistakes. Honestly it would be weird if he had mastered it after a week.

It was a really great running gag, too! Giving the characters something recurring to run with is always great.

In the mid 90's, if you grew up with Telemundo or Univision in the US you probably heard of a show called Ocurrió Así and they did so many specials about Chupacabra, and my grandma thinking it was the end times. LOL. Thanks for this video. those illustrations were shown on the TV too, Good times.

I don't like the Scooby-Doo and the chupacabra because one chupacabra does not mean Bigfoot or Yeti it means goat sucker two I always find it to be boring

Mainly, I remember being disappointed that Scooby-Doo went back to the formular of the old show. I got that for the tv shows but I always thought the movies should strive for grander stories instead of the costumed criminal of the week plots. Also, as a Puerto Rican I didn’t care for their portrayal of the Chupacabras. It was already annoying enough that to most American media Latino meant Mexican (no offense to my Mexican brethren, it’s just annoying how they lump all of us into one hat so to speak), but for them to get e Chupacabras that wrong? Just killed what little interest I had for it.

UPDATE: only after watching this video, am I now seeing that there is hex girls merch!?! Definitely just bought a shirt!

6:19 Very interesting seeing Scrappy Doo in the What’s new Scooby Doo art style.

I've JUST been getting back in a Scooby Doo phase from rewatching Mystery Incorporated I'm so happy I found this channel LOL

As a Puertorican that lives in Puerto Rico it is thanks to this video that I found out El Chupacabra’s legend came from my island. I was always told it was from Mexico and never bothered to check. I actually have a distant relative who claims to have seen it and has made a few drawings and paintings of it, but I never made the connection that it was from here. I haven’t seen this movie in a while and even though I’m not Mexican I can see the issues, but I still find enjoyment from it. Great vid and a nice refresher with a newfound perspective now that I’m older.

I have just came back from a trip to see my family in Mexico and now I wanna see this movie just to see how much I’ll like it since watching it as a kid

Cultural appropriation was very common in Scooby Doo especially when the first shows were being made, a LOT of shows back then were filled to the brim with cultural appropriation, there’s still some now but it’s not nearly as common as it was back then. I don’t think I’ve ever watched this movie, and I’ll like skip this one, but the video was great 💖💖💖

Hey great job, man your background information is clearly well-researched and I can tell this video was not easy to do. fantastic work my friend. I've seen a few of your videos on my phone and I like your style so far. You're doing a great job. I also loved learning about that one voice actress who plays the mexican wife, Maria Canals Barrera. She sounds terrific. Very cool that there was a great cast behind this movie and your channel is definitely doing well in my perspective. I'm looking forward to leaving you more comments and getting to know your channel better. I have definitely always appreciated this classic chapter from Scooby's DTV collection. I'm also very happy just any time someone remembers Paulina as an important character in DP and not try to say obvious bad things about her. She gets a lot of undesreved hate from many DxS fans in my opinion; I'm not part of that group myself. I'm part of what I like to call the Anti-Sam clan. Hope we can correspond again soon.

I love both Paulina and Sam at the end of the day! Most characters in DP have a lot of nuance that I appreciate, both when I was a kid watching dutifully and as an adult rewatching again. Paulina remains a fun character in a fun cast, even with her faults of which her peers share as well.

I don't know if you read this, I really had my doubts about watching the video, I was afraid that it was just another gringo getting offense for the Mexicans. However you did a lot of research, I must admit there are a lot of things I didn't know about the chupacabra, mostly because I never get too interested or care too much, and I only got to see two news about it in real life. However, there are other things that I don't agree with, like calling Fred or the gang "appropriate to the culture" by wearing charro hats, or "sombreros" as you call it in the US, and guitars, we literally sell those things to foreigners for that they wear it among other traditional clothes, that's the point. And as someone who is learning another language, I liked the detail that Fred made a mistake where to put the ñ, when you learn a language it is normal to have mistakes like that, especially with letters that are foreign to your mother tongue. The only thing I could say was culture appropriation was looting the tombs, the design of the catacombs and the clothes, it doesn't bother me, it's just that they didn't dress like that at all, but it was funnier than anything. It really is one of my favorite movies I watched it all the time on CN, and it never bothered me that the chupacabra didn't look anything like in the legend, mostly because among the researchers no one could agree on his appearance, even if the more popular versions looked like aliens, I remember discussions about that, so I think it's not bad if they went for their own version of what the monster looks like. Overall very good video. Here in Mexico I always believed that the legend had appeared from the north of the country, not from Puerto Rico XD there were conspiracies that said it was a US project or weapon, since most cases happened between the border of Mexico and the US, at least those that I heard.

Yeah, I adore this movie and have since I was a kid, so I don't think anything in the movie is actually offensive or trying to be, it's just fun to look at the various things throughout it to see what they did do, accurate or not. Maybe it's just the reuniting of the original English cast and music score with the classic style, but it's a movie with a lovely nostalgic feel.

Have you ever noticed Charline pulls a double negative? Yes using country lingo we tend to use double negatives but for those who don't use it when she asks him to "promise that he won't never take it off." It is basically saying promise that you will take it off. It is funny when you notice it but once you do sometimes it is hard to not get the correct meaning to click some times. Oh I love that Fred understands about the greed conversation. In the commentary shaggy and Scooby are just as confused Daphne and Velma.

To be fair to the golden retriever, if we're talking about the movie I think we're talking about, she IS an extraterrestrial. We don't know her age, we don't know the laws of the planet (and whether the laws are applied everywhere on the planet) where she and the other one comes from. I don't know about other folks here, but I know I want to see them make another appearance.

I really like this, it's always fun to follow along and see the different stores, and just hanging out for the day. Bummer you didn't find anything, I've never had good luck at goodwill.

i rewatched this movie a month or two ago. i love all these movies because of they're goofy

The funny thing is, if they would have switched the design of their El Chupacabra and the Yowie from the legend of the vampire and reworked both scripts into an Australian Bigfoot and a Mexican or Puerto Rican vampire monster thing as the El Chupacabra would have been much more accurate.

I remember that when i was a kid and saw the trailer for scooby doo and the monster of mexico, i was so excited! As someone who comes from mexican culture, i was so happy to see a scooby doo movie that would take place in mexico.

I haven't watched any (except for Billiam if he talked about them, though I don't remember if so) but I've seen other people have done videos on one or all of them so I'd like to make sure I have something I really want to say on them before I get to them! The three movies I've done solos for I made sure to have a specific intent or vision for before I did them, which I try to do for everything, and I love those to varying degrees so I want the same for them.

Luis is my favorite character in this movie. He feels more like a real person than anyone else here.

So fun fact about the website the old man tells Fred to visit, I decided to look it up myself as a joke. And when I entered it into Google, I took me to a Warner Brothers website where it said the content was unavailable, leading me to believe they actually may have made it a real website at some point until the content became unavailable.

Honestly I really like scooby doo and am mexican myself. So honestly thought it was cool they were in mexico. But also this movie.... actually honestly idk what to say that doesn't sound dumb to my young adult thoughts now. But yea was a kid and I don't take to many old cartoons to seriously because it's mostly "oh that's cool" moments from when I was younger. Now I just have the better skill to critics them now because there's alot of thing's I can look back on. Unless I want to just be happy with what was amusing.

I think Nicole did a better job at voicing Velma again, because at least in my mind, Velma has always sounded like an older woman. Even in the original cartoons, they always got voice actors that sounded so mature. I love the OG voices though!

I'm Puerto Rican, my friend is Mexican and Nahautl, and this movie was a dumb, good time. It's been years since either of us saw it last so we recognized and appreciated the satire and good intentions but honestly it was hard not to receive psychic damage whenever something cringey happened, whether if it was the characters' or movie's fault. Like, it was still funny but we were in a little pain. Velma desecrating and full-on actually robbing ancient native Azteca graves absolutely took us out though, we had to pause for 20 minutes to recover. my friend called the plan's immediate failure karma much like aglets and Phineas and Ferb, I credit this movie for teaching me what a tilde is called

This is a guilty pleasure for me as my parents and grandparents were born in Mexico and that it was enjoyable also with the day of the dead festival which i am doing every year for 2 years since my grandpa passed on who was like a dad to me! i likes the film and the reunion of the OG scooby doo gang for the 2nd to last time. Also untill now did not knew the grandma is Rita from the og WSS film

As a kid, I loved all the scooby doo movies. If I had to say tho, this one was my least favorite because as a kid I already knew what a chupacabra was and I was a bit disappointed that it looked different. I did hear from a friend that they should have instead called it the Sisimito or Sisimite. After watching this, I looked up the name and it literally described the monster from the movie and even says it's nickname was the Mexican Bigfoot. Go figure. If anyone has any info on the myth definitely let me know
