generationofswine A part of me wants to love this. It really seems like they were trying to return to the old school Scooby Doo feel. The look was very New Scooby Doo Movies. Even the cover felt like the Scooby Doo everyone grew up with.So, it really felt like they were throwing us old Scooby fans one massive cherry.But then, it was really only Shaggy and Scooby and they can't carry it alone any longer, the movies are about Mystery Inc and the whole Scooby Gang and you feel robbed when they are paid that much lip service...And then the plot never came together.It felt too much like they were trying too hard to appeal to us old Scooby Fans and not hard enough to appeal to the people that came to love Scooby from these movies.

kyle-mcdonald Well first off let me say this was by far one of the best Scooby Doo cartoon adventures I have ever seen. From beginning to end I was smiling being a long time fan of Scooby Doo I'm always excited to see what the next movie will bring, and this time around I was definitely not disappointed.Scooby and the gang are enjoying a wonderful Halloween night at a Halloween carnival filled with exciting rides with a few scares thrown in. After Scooby is denied entry into a magic show Shaggy and Scooby decide to take it upon themselves to show that this magician is a fraud. After upsetting this magician, he is determined to get his revenge and unleashes an rage of black magic. It is now up to Shaggy and Scooby to save humanity from this evil magician before he sets forth dire and irreversible circumstances.The storyline this Scooby Doo movie follows is filled with non stop excitement, action, laughs and just pure old fashion fun. Shaggy and Scooby must travel to the super natural world to retrieve the Goblin Kings magical wand before it gets into the hands of the amazing Krudsky. Along the way we are met with funny characters, catchy songs and a story that will keep you interested until the end and begging for more. The only thing I wish there could have been of was good plot twists, there was only one twist at the very end of the film which was an OK twist but could have been a bit more interesting. I also like the fact that this movie returns to the use of real monsters and that it travels to the supernatural world, it just made this adventure that much more fun and exciting.I must say, by far the best part of this Scooby Doo adventure was the all star voice cast. This one has everyone such as the regulars: Frank Welker as Scooby Doo and Fred, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey Delisle as Daphne who all do an amazing job as their characters as usual. On top of the regular cast we are gifted with the likes of: Wayne Knight as The Amazing Krudsky, Wallace Shawn as Mr. Gibbles, Jay Leno...yes I said Jay Leno as Jack O' Lantern, Tim Curry as the Goblin King and even James Belushi as Glob, who all do such a wonderful job which just makes this Scooby Doo adventure shine.So if you're a Scooby Doo fan or you are just looking for a good Halloween movie to enjoy with your kids this is the movie for you, from the great comedy to the great voice talents, it is a movie for all ages and is defiantly worth watching.Overall Rating: ********* out of ********** ****1/2 out of *****

chicagopoetry Zoinks! Like, ruh roh, Raggy, don't rook now, but just when you were about to ask "where are you" there's a reaky new Scooby Doo movie available on rideo. Yeah, reaky. Gulp. And in this one, the whacked out warlock isn't just a guy wearing a mask. Heh heh heh. Like, no way man, but this wunnerful creepy old time animation is completely on the mark and ten times as fun as th-th-th-the rive action Scooby Doo movies. Like,trust me, old friend, old buddy, old pal, there are even a bunch of scary moments that will make you rump off your chair. Boing! There is also a runch of musical numbers. I especially liked the one that went romething like "Woararoarawoararoarawoar." Yikes! The kids will love the Goblin King, and the adults will laugh at the inside rokes: "Oh no! Velma's fried!" or "Now that is something you just do not do to a guy's van." Why do I get the feeling this one should have been on the big screen? Way to go old Scooby Dooby movie makers. You should totally rent Scooby Dooooby Dooooo and the Goblin King: jeepers, maybe there's food inside the box.

tommyshanks2002 I had mixed feelings on this one 1) Having Jim Belushi, Jay Leno, Wayne Knight, Lauren Bacall, Wallace Shawn and "witches ghost" return of Tim Curry was a plus. Oh to hear Tim's laugh!!!! 2) The fairies, pumpkin, and broom picked up things when the story was dragging. 3) The story was mostly Shaggy and Scooby who couldn't carry it alone. 4) The songs were mostly forgettable. 5) the attempt to return to old style Scooby Doo was a plus 6) The story didn't really care to follow the plot and became a series of unconnected scenes. The end seemed rushed 7) The lack of Velma was deafening. 8) Daphne getting wet was unforgivable :-) At the end of the day, it was fun to watch but forgettable after a few days.
