Cartoons Scooby Doo

Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost Scooby-Doo is making a big comeback with several helpings on TV and new videos. The series’ writers are smart enough to mildly spoof themselves, and this movie opens with Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Frank, and Velma solving a crime that ends with the now-classic Scooby line, “It’s… [insert some administrative minion/angry neighbor/disgruntled relative], only to have the criminal bleat, “And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for you kids!” There they meet one of Velma’s idols, fright-writer Ben Ravencroft (voiced by an effective Tim Curry). Smitten Velma and gang accept his invitation to his New England hometown festival. When one of Ravencroft’s ancestors suddenly swoops down from the supernatural heavens, the gang’s on alert. This movie is appropriate for viewers 4 and up (although some of the animated frights may haunt sensitive viewers). It’s also for their parents who may have been fans in the series’ initial run. The cool and fun soundtrack’s catchy tunes include a song performed by the Hex Girls, one of whom is none other than former Go-Go Jane Weidlin. If the theme song’s got a country beat, that’s because it’s sung by Mr. Achy Breaky himself, Billy Ray Cyrus. –N.F. Mendoza
Customer Review: Great Movie
My daughter loves this movie. She likes the Hex Girls’ singing as well as Scooby Doo. I would say that I like it, but I have been forced to watch it on a daily basis since we got it. Be prepared to hear your little one singing, “I’m a Hex Girl, and I’m gonna put a spell on you!” Seriously, it’s a good little movie, and the pleasure it brings is well worth the price.
Customer Review: One of Scooby and the gang’s best!
I find it very sad that people will use anything, even our lovable Scooby and the Gang, to promote their particular religious and or political dogma. In reading the various reviews and comments on this site as well as others I found nothing unexpected from both the Christian Right and Wiccan/Pagan Left side of the coin. I encourage those who have written to try and read all of the posts again and although it will be hard for you to pry open your closed minds just maybe you’ll notice the one really interesting thing, that the outraged “Christian” posts are almost identical to the outraged “Pagan/Wiccan/Witch” posts in tone and intolerance. As for the film I don’t see this as being in any way scary but you should base that on what you know of your child’s disposition. My daughter has been devoted to Scooby since she was 7 months old, she is now a year and 4 months. Of all the films this is her most favorite due in large part to the band of Gothic girls called the Hex Girls. Is this film a historically accurate depiction of those who call themselves “Wiccans, Witches or Goths”, of course not. That is why it is not listed as a documentary. It is a cartoon with a talking dog that is now a family tradition every Halloween and Thanksgiving season

Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King The best, original Scooby-Doo animated movie seen for some years, Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King is genuinely imaginative, fun, and full of surprises–particularly in its vocal casting. Besides the usual group–Casey Kasem still going strong as the voice of Shaggy (since 1969), Frank Welker as both Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc.’s leader, Fred, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey DeLisle as Daphne–Goblin King features Wallace Shawn, Lauren Bacall, Tim Curry and Wayne Knight in substantial roles. The lively story finds the Mystery Inc. gang enjoying a Halloween night at a carnival, where a hack magician (Knight) steals the power of a fairy on unauthorized leave from the spirit world. Faced with a threat to Fred, Velma, and Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby enter that parallel dimension overrun by elves, headless horsemen, witches, a talking pumpkin, etc. Their mission is to get to the Goblin King (Curry), who can stop the magician s feverish quest for more and more power. The story is endlessly colorful and sharp, more of a fable than the average Scooby-Doo cartoon as Shaggy and Scooby, unlikely heroes, wander through a wonderland of ghouls for an answer. –Tom Keogh
Customer Review: scooby doo and the goblin king
this is definately the perfect adventure for halloween or just if you love scooby doo. you will enjoy this one immensely!!!
Customer Review: Good
In my opinion, Scooby Doo mysteries are just not as good as they used to be. ( Still better than the horrible Scrappy Doo period though!) As an adult, it is fun trying to recognize who is doing the voice overs though. Jay Leno seemed to have a really good time playing the Jack o latern, and I always enjoy Tim Curry’s voice. BUT, my kids really have enjoyed this DVD. It has gotten them all prepped and excited about Halloween. I feel like their attention to this movie will ebb over time though. They enjoy watching the old school mysteries better than most of the movies. With the exception of Zombie Island, which they have worn out!
