Oliver F Eh, it’s ok I guess. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Alexander C There were 2 of these as part of a Hanna Barbera movie production. Reluctant Werewolf was the other, and in my opinion, the best. But this is equally enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Cyrus K My only real issue is scrappy doo, which is a massive stain on the scooby doo franchise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/23 Full Review Lexi M I loved this movie and the rest of the Scooby Doo series ever since I was born. This movie was an instant Halloween classic for me and I watched it every single year. Sure it's silly and the plot is very little to nonexistent (except until near the very end), but the characters are very recognizable and memorable, and it's a rather unique take compared to your usual Scooby Doo movies. The spooky animation in this one is just outstanding imo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/22 Full Review Audience Member For me it's not a five star just cause it doesn't have a actual mystery on it but it's funny, the characters are great and it's easy to get involved with them Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow! What a phenomenal piece of modern cinema. To begin, the direct correlation between the desired father figure that was often hinted by the school girls during the span of the film, and the traits of Shaggy and Scooby in their short stay at the school supplies a tear jerking, yet thought provoking insight on what it truly means to be a parental figure. Furthemore, the heartwarming relationship between the two once were strangers in shaggy and scoobs, and the many monster children leaves us viewers encapsulated by the intriguing commentary on human nature, and how we treat others. To add on, the group of given protagonists supply the movie with a group of loveable and relatable characters for children and adults alike. I found that no matter the age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or world region one may derive from there is a character that takes a likeness to anyone's current situation. To further elaborate, the antagonist Revolta and her partner the Grim Creeper, add a rather modernist prospective to the typical villain by creating a diabolical plot that creates a ghastly twist to a rather happy movie, for kidnapping the monster children is such a horrendous and despicable act, no writer would ever consider such a thing. Another tremendous aspect of the movie comes in the form of the valiant Calloway Cadets, a group of tenacious young men that supply an awful lot of humor to an already hilarious tale. I also give praise to the fact that although the competent young men are in the bog on the same day as Revoltas plan is to take place, its the group of female protagonists that eventually foil the plot. This shows the phenomenal theme of "Girl Power" in a movie that could definitely need it. When thinking of the most famous peices of art created I'm the few past centuries, one might think of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam", "The Scream", a film like "The Godfather", or even a song like Queens Bohemian Rhapsody, there are even the smallest of flaws in all things beautiful. Although an otherwise spotless movie, There is one place in which this movie fails and that is in the addition of Scrappy Doo, the Anti-Christ of modern cartoons. Although the vile character holds a rather large role in the movie, Scrappy AKA Crappy supplies no extra value to a otherwise PERFECT story, and fails to supply any extra narrative to the subliminal themes. Otherwise, this is a 5/5 movie, and quite honestly the closest attempt at absolute perfection any human has accomplished. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
