FUN AND SUSPENSEFUL.......2007-08-18
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island is the best direct-to-video Scooby-Doo yet
Plot: After years of uncovering phony phantoms and ghosts the gang has split up. Fred (Frank Welker) and Daphne (Mary Kay Bergman) have their own television show documenting their past mysteries. Velma (B.J. Ward) owns her own mystery book shop and Shaggy (Billy West) and Scooby-Doo (Scott Ines) work at an airport. For Daphne's birthday they get back together to try to find real monsters for her T.V. show. Along the way they meet Lena (Tara Charendoff) who tells them about the haunted house she works at on Moonscar Island and invites them over. They except and once there they meet Simone (Adrienne Barbeau). As day leads into night the gang discovers the haunting's may be true.
The Good News: They say the first is the best and this one really proves that true. There is really a lot to like here and not a lot to dislike. This may surprise a lot of people, but this film is really suspenseful. The final half hour really represents this. It had me on the edge of my seat and is filled with lots of twists and turns. The animation also shines here, but I don't want to give anything away. The first ghost sighting is creepy and provides a few chills, actually all the ghost sightings prior to the climax are very unearthly and leave you with a set of chills. The idea of it suddenly becoming cold before the ghosts attack is an old one, but this proves it can still work. The addition of voodoo is thrown into the mix, but it just adds to the film instead of lowering it. The music also adds to the film and gives it a creepier edge. The all-star cast provides a ton of great voices and I have to mention that the great Adrienne Barbeau is in this. The addition of real monsters was nice and provided a lot of great opportunities. The film moves along a fast pace and it is never boring. It also has a high re watch ability factor.
The Bad News: There could have been a few more ghost attacks and the jokes could have been funnier.
Conclusion: If you're a Scooby fan you'll eat this up and it provides more entertainment than a regular Scooby-Doo episode so others will also find a lot to like here too. Recommend.
Scooby Doo Returns.......2006-06-06
This DVD marked the return of Scooby Doo and launched and whole new set of Scooby Doo feature length adventures for a new generation of fans and then What's New Scooby Doo on TV.
This time they have new music and a new storyline and this time the monsters and ghosts etc. are really real no maskes, no fakes, no robots etc.
Velma, Daphne, Freddie, Shaggy and not forgetting Scooby take on the case of Zombie Island and they discover more than even Velma suspected.
Freddie and Daphne's dress sense has changed but Shaggy and Velma and Scooby haven't changed this DVD should enjoy all true fans and this DVD gives two classic episodes so a great buy.

Post-modern Scooby Doo?.......2001-01-31
Zoiks! It's true, following in the footsteps of scream and the new trend for rule-breaking horror, comes Scooby Doo! The film is set a few years after the rest of the (original!) Scooby Gang went their seperate ways, taking on new jobs and getting non-spooky jobs. The interesting thing is the new ways the script twists and bends the familiar Scooby Doo themes and plots, and then pushes out in new directions. I was even afraid for some of the characters, and I'm 26! Thankfully, there's not a hint of Scrappy Doo, he seems to have disappeared into some monster, as no mention is made of the annoying dog ;) I don't want to spoil any of it, so I'm trying to reveal as little as possible, suffice to say, adults might want to stick around after dumping this video in front of their kids, as it is really funny and enjoyable for both old and young, and if this is the way it's going, I'll be checking out the new vids when they arrive! I just whish they'd release them on DVD! Grrrrr....
Kooky, but not as groovy as the old classics.......2000-10-31
Alas! Gone is Fred's attractive red bandana. Gone are the exclamations of "Zoinks!" and "Kooky!" But although this brand-new Scooby movie lacks the grooviness of the old classic shows, it's still fun for kids of all ages. And Velma still says "Jinkies".
Best Scooby Doo film, must see for all ages.......2000-07-30
It was so good to see scooby doo and the gang in action again. Must see for all ages young and old. I am a mother of 2 small kids who both love scooby and the gang as much as i did as a kid. The film was very good the and funny just like the old scooby show was.
