History WesternAnimation / ScoobyDooAndTheMonsterOfMexico

* SadlyMythtaken: The urban legends associated with El Chupacabra describe it as being goblinoid and that it sucks the blood of goats, hence the name ("Chupacabra" translates to "goat-sucker"). The Chupacabra in this movie is a Bigfoot-like creature, and characters never mention it going after goats, much less drinking their blood. While the Chupacabra ''is'' popularly known as the "Mexican Bigfoot", that doesn't mean that it's literally Mexico's version of Bigfoot (the Chupacabra doesn't even come from Mexico, but from Puerto Rico). Though to be fair, they probably would've had trouble using a faithful version of the Chupacabra in a Scooby-Doo movie, anyway.

Once more the film was done in a retro format resembling the classic Creator/HannaBarbera 1970s cartoons and this movie was the final time featuring Creator/FrankWelker, Creator/CaseyKasem, [[RoleReprisal Heather North]] and [[RoleReprisal Nicole Jaffe]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'' together, as this was North and Jaffe's final time voicing Daphne and Velma respectively.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: InUniverse; the "magical eagle" is very obviously just a machine.
* SpotTheThread: Freddy when reviewing the footage of the vandalized Mystery Machine deduces that the perpetrator doesn't speak Spanish due to the word ''manana'' missing the ''~'' symbol.

The sixth direct-to-video installment of the [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby-Doo franchise]], '''''Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico''''' was produced by [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros. Animation]] and again directed by the guy who brought us Franchise/ScoobyDoo [[Creator/DCComics comics]], Scott Jeralds.

* BlondesAreEvil: [[spoiler: Charlene]].

* [[DatingWhatDaddyHates Dating What Mummy Hates]]: After Charlene's revealed as one of the culprits, Luis and Alejo's mother reveals that she never really liked her, even calling her as a "Bruja" (Spanish for "Witch").

* DirtyCoward: Luis sees himself as this after hearing his brother calling for help but being too scared to help, so he claims El Chupacabra knocked him out. He's ashamed of it. Alejo forgives him.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: Mr. Smiley and Charlene]] mock Alejo for not wanting to break the promise he and the rest of his family made to his and Luis's deceased father.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: So how much of the things at the pyramids were special effects? And then (most of) the gifts Alejo's family leave at his father's grave vanish... how did that happen?

* GoldDigger: [[Charlene.]]

The movie begins with Fred’s Mexican pen-pal inviting him and the rest of the gang to come visit him in Veracruz, Mexico.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In-universe, [[spoiler: Mr. Smiley is ''terrible'' at passing himself off as a ghost of a Mexican man, or writing Spanish.]] Just how was he going to carry off his scheme again?
* [[spoiler: DirtyCoward: Luis sees himself as this when he confessed that he heard his brother calling for help, but he was so scared that he might lose his brother, he froze with fear--so he lied that he got hit on the head. He's ashamed for it. Alejo forgives him, since there are worse things than being a coward, which Shaggy should know.]]

* [[spoiler:GoldDigger: Charlene.]]
* GratuitousSpanish: Justified since the entire film takes place in Mexico. In fact, [[spoiler: the villain not speaking Spanish makes for an important plot point.]]

* [[spoiler: PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Mr. Smiley pretends to be the ghost of the Alejo and Luis's father telling them to sell their hotel. But Velma pointed out their real father spoke only Spanish. When he's found out, he complains that they should have learned English.]]
