From Bad to Curse – Episode Review
The episode beings with the gang at a Gypsy Camp on a mission from Uncle Fearless Shagaford.
Here they meet Rose, Queen of the Gypsies. She’s worried someone is out to steal her amulet, a powerful piece of jewelry that controls gypsy curses.
Rose is no fool, as Michalos barges in and steals the amulet right on cue. Ever ready to pounce, Scrappy chases after him, but unfortunately Michalos curses the gang by locking them up in chains. The gang are not thwarted for too long, as Scooby is able to use his tail to snag some keys.
The gang then decide to disguise themselves as gypsies so they can fool Michalos. Doing the Dance of the Gypsies, they steal the amulet and a chase ensues.
Eventually Mikalos steals the amulet back and converts the gang into their spirit animal form. Shaggy and Scooby become chickens, however, Scrappy becomes a Lion due to his lion heart. Belting out Lion-Power, Scrappy snags the amulet back and the amulet is returned to Rose.
My Review
Another 5 for me. I don’t know if this episode charmed me, or I’m warming up to the format of these sillier episodes.
The Gypsy camp was pretty cool and we got a bit of abracadabra with the Magic Amulet.
