I enjoy this movie
I especially liked the dance number in the underworld saloon. Did anyone notice the appearance of past Scooby Doo characters? The Werewolf, and The Creeper from the original series and Cyber Chase?
shareI enjoyed it too, but when the hell did Scooby Doo movies become musicals? They've always had songs that play in the background or when they are being chased but never musical numbers.
Lets put a SMILE on that face!
I felt this was one of the best of the direct-to-video, DVD releases. They have the old style denouement, non-anime cartoon style (a HUGE plus), all the voices are spot on (except, Casey is getting pretty long in the tooth now), and there is plenty of humor. This is a very, very solid entry in the series.
I was one person who had mixed feelings about Zombie Island. On the one hand, it was nice that the Mystery Gang finally had a real supernatural mystery on their hands, but it was also regrettable that Scooby-Doo had taken a genuine turn into the dark side of the supernatural. Witch's Ghost was the worst, in that it was a total apologetic for the Wicca religion, and frankly we don't need any religion in Scooby.

I loved this movie. It was funny, the songs were surprisingly good, and the voice talents were top notch. Plus, the animation was great. I particularly loved the scene with the Headless Horseman.
Yeah, this was a GOOD one. I'm such a Scooby-Doo geek. When a new direct-to-DVD movie comes out, I'm like a little kid. My sons, who are 12 and 15 like them, but they don't get psyched like I do.
My youngest son told me the other day, when I pre-ordered Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword, "Dad, I think you buy these movies for yourself". I said, "Uh, that is no secret, pal... I do buy them for myself. When you go away to college, and move away from home I'll still be buying these". Then he says, "yeah, but it's nice to be able to say you get them for us, right?" I laughed at that one, but then had to admit, "Frankly, no. I am totally and completely unembarrassed to be buying new Scooby Doo movies." That kind of made him do a double take, I guess he thinks I should be a little embarrassed buying Scooby Doo movies. Haha. Oh well, too bad, because I love Scooby Doo, and I always will. For me, some things from my childhood have always remained "sacred" and beloved, and for me, one of those things is Scooby Doo. Laffy Taffy runs a close second (grape flavor).
