YMMV / Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo

• Fridge Brilliance:
  • Why does Fred like his new GPS despite it being generally rude and unhelpful? It acts and sounds similar to his father, Mayor Jones, from Mystery Incorporated. Going with the theory that the '10s-era movies take place in the new timeline from the end of Mystery Incorporated, Fred probably misses how his false father used to act, since Jones doesn’t suffer from Comedic Sociopathy in the new timeline. Doubles as Harsher in Hindsight, as this movie was released shortly after Mystery Incorporated began airing, so one could've safely assumed at the time that he was using his GPS as a Replacement Goldfish for his father while on the road presumably after whatever events unfolded at the end of the show.
    • Significantly, for all intents and purposes, the Mystery Machine has been the true Sixth Ranger of the team — not Scrappy-Doo, since the van was always there before him. Now the added GPS has even given it a speaking role, even if only briefly or as a last gag in The Stinger in a couple of films.
  • Velma having a little sister we’ve never heard of before that attends an academy focusing on stage magic away from home can make sense in the Mystery Incorporated continuity, as we know that Angie has loose parenting and would be fine with letting her children pursue their ambitions as long as they stay out of trouble.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: Velma gets mad at Shaggy for referring to Madelyn by her Embarrassing Nickname, because one, that's her sister, and two, her sister has a crush on him and would feel crushed if he mocked her too. In Mystery Incorporated, Velma was hurt when Shaggy dumped her but eventually got over it, and she eventually learned better than to refer to her new friend, Marcie, by her Embarrassing Nickname.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In a Velma-centric commercial from Those Meddling Kids commercials, a young Velma was depicted with pigtails and she looked rather similar to Madelyn. It also showed Velma with an older girl who was presumably her older sister.
  • Very *ahem* exotic flavors of ice cream like those mentioned in the film are now a thing in much of the world (just ask Andrew Zimmern).
• Jerkass Woobie: Mrs. Rumblebuns is a grouch, but (as she makes no effort to hide) she feels that the spirit and purpose of her beloved castle has given way to something more frivolous, and she had to watch her boyfriend Calvin leave her and seemingly continue to ignore her while focusing on his business and then returning trying to buy the castle with cutthroat tactics and turn it into something even less dignified and respectful than a magic school, Due to not realizing he actually wants to buy it back as a gift to her.
• Never Live It Down: A decade after the movie came out and made a decent splash with the fan base, the...interesting choice of title still causes some tongues to cluck.
• Older Than They Think: This is not the first time we've had the concept of Velma having a sister. One of the Those Meddling Kids: The Behind the Scenes Look at Scooby-Doo commercials from the '90's had a focus on Velma, which depicted her in a family photo with her parents and an older girl who is presumably her older sister.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: It's somewhat disappointing that Madelyn's fellow students are Put on a Bus so quickly after displaying some Lovable Coward traits.
• Win Back the Crowd: The movie ushered in a newer, very well-received style, and was praised for its plot.
