Just watched the movie. The last 13 minutes are... Dear God, why? I would've taken out one of those avalanches near the middle for extra time, put Scrappy in (when Vincent breaks the crystal ball yelling power, because puppy power) and changed the "reveal" for something genuinely supernatural. The ending with Van Ghoul's ghost redeeming itself would've been ok as is, if Velma hadn't immediately confirmed she made it up for Vincent's benefit. And if we had actually seen Van Ghoul do more than appear as a cloud of snow. Also, the ending makes it pretty obvious that the real Asmodeus is out there, because of the fact that the one in the movie was fake, and Velma's redemption story was fake. So... This movie didn't wrap anything up. At all.

I did like how they managed to make Flim an enjoyable, likable character, by putting him with Fred and Velma and testing out those new dynamics.
