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

 too few gags, too much pro-Wiccan time waste November 16, 2008
Mark Z. Twain
We love Scooby and crew, but the series is supposed to be focused on humor, not on preaching in defense of Wiccans. There are several scenes here where Velma's character makes extended, and extremely boring, defenses of Wiccans as misunderstood kind-hearts. That's fine for the New York Times op-ed page, but it bores the kids. These Hollywood writers were so busy trying to annoy Christians, they forgot to write some jokes. Total waste of money and time.
 Great Movie October 30, 2008
P. Clemons-Combs (Jackson, KY)
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.
One of Scooby and the gang's best! October 12, 2008
Kate Kane (Chula Vista, CA. USA)
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

I found this totally inappropriate. I guess it's my fault for not reading the back of the dvd, but I didn't expect to have a Scooby-Doo movie attempt to educate my 3 and 5 year old about any religion.
Its Just a movie--Get a grip--Use your imagination!!!!! May 28, 2008

People who said this movie was bad---it is just like any other scooby doo...scooby doo over all deals with monsters...so what if it deals with witches..I believe in Jesus too but I teach my kids the difference between reality and fiction..It is the parents job to do so...Its just imagination...get a grip..If you watched scooby doo back in the day...then you shouldn't have a problem with this one...isn't all monsters bad? My 3 kids all do prayer time and all are taught to believe in Jesus but we don't have a problem with movies overall because we know that they are just a movie...Parents do your job---Its not television or movies that teach kids---Parents should...Learn to know that movies with witches or monsters---you have to be smart enough to know that its just a movie...all scooby doo deals with some kind of ghost of monsters--hello that is what scooby doo is about--DUH! I watched scary movies back in the day but I am not going to act like the bad guy in the movie. I guess we who love the classic Wizard of Oz is evil--cause Geeze it has Witches in it!
