Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost

Rating:
Summary: nasty
Review: What a horrible Scooby video! The characters had "grown up" and were much more detailed in their thoughts. It's definitely not the old Scooby where the answer to the mystery was found mostly by accident. The video is also quite violent - not very good for smaller kids. The professor ends up casting evil spells and doing physical harm to the other characters. There is also a lot of gender bias - Velma and Daphne are stupider than normal, while Fred and Shaggy (zoiks!) end up being the "heroes" on most occasions. There is also a focus on the Wiccan religion, so be prepared to talk about that if kids watch it. All in all, yuck.

Summary: Scooby Doo and the witch's Ghost : Not for kids
Review: What ever happened to the fake monsters and thelma saying there's no such thing as....? This video must have been made by people involved in the occult. Its like an ad for wiccans. They need to bring back the mystery element and get rid of the occult message. Like another reviewer said if your raising your kids in jewish or christian values watch out for this one. I turned it off half way thru.

Summary: Not your typical Scooby Do
Review: As you may have gathered from other reviews, this video is a commercial for the "virtuous," "healers" of Wicca who are really cool and even have their own rock band, the Hex girls. They are so cool that only a person with Wiccan blood was able to read the spell at the end to save Scooby and his pals from the evil witch (if you are confused, the movie, unlike Webster's dictionary, goes to great lengths to state that Wiccans and Witches are not only not the same, but virtually opposites). If you are a parent who is trying to raise kids with some semblance of Jewish, Christian or Muslim values, this movie is emphatically not for you. If you are trying to raise your kids to be Druids, Pagans or Wiccans, this movie is, I'm sure, an outstanding affirmation of your cherished values.

Summary: Not as good as Zombie Island
Review: While this is quite a good movie by any length, it doesn't quite match up to Zombie Island. The first half of the movie really drags along and the second half goes a little too quickly with too much action and too little plot. The music for Witch's Ghost wasn't nearly as good as Zombie Island either, although I think the plot was much better. This is definitely a movie deserving 5 stars, but it still isn't quite as good as Zombie. However, the evil villain of this movie is much more interesting than the one(s) in Zombie.

Summary: Witch's Ghost -- Okay
Review: After seeing Zombie Island -- couldn't wait for this to come out. Finally saw it.. Not as good as Zombie Island -- took 1/2 of the story to get interesting. Very action packed towards the end but am not dying to see it again where Zombie my 4 year old and I were watching every weekend.Also, I'm reviewing these for my 4 yr. old son. Zombie -- he loved it until my older son (13) spooked him, then he went thru a scared time - then when I convinced him it was pretend it is back to being his favorite. Witches was ok by him.

Summary: Because I cannot return it, I will throw it away.
Review: If the movie would have ended when they caught the people who were spooking the town, I might have kept it. (because even though I thought it was not up to par, my kids were enjoying it) But, when it turned from a simple mystery into a battle with a conjured-up, "real", scarey spirit, my kids and I decided it must go.

Rating:
Summary: Animated Perfection!
Review: This movie was excellent. Plain and simple. I was very happy to see that once again, the "monster" was real. I love that, just like in Scooby Doo on Zombie Island which was also a wonderful movie. I have noticed that a couple of these reviews state that the best part is NO SCRAPPY... and I must say I totally agree. I wouldn't recommend this movie to little kids though. Not because it's too scary, but because the plot seems like it would be too deep for kids to follow. All in all, I loved this movie and I really hope Warner Bros. keeps them coming.

Summary: Great Video For all Ages
Review: I was so surprised to finally see a Halloween movie that speaks the truth about the Wiccan religion. I don't know how to say thank you enough for doing what's possible to dispel the false myths surrounding earth spirituality. I saw the Gothics as just a fun superstitious romp that poked good fun at people who get scared of what they don't understand. I liked the plot twists and the music was just way cool! Now my five year old daughter is getting a copy of this movie. We watched it at a friend's house and they all loved it too. None of us found it scary but very entertaining. Thanks for a great job. P.S. I want that soundtrack and I'll be looking for the Hex Girls music.

Summary: Not what I expected--but very good!
Review: I'm glad they have manged to keep Scooby current with the times. Best of all--no Scrappy! I don't think this film would be a bad influence at all...unless one equates open-mindedness with being a bad influence.

Summary: What Tim Burton did to Batman, this video does to Scooby Doo
Review: I wanted to be able to tell you that the review from "Lisa" was just the opinion of some uptight, ultra-religious person. Then I bought the video for my almost-four-year-old, who LOVES Scooby. It's WAY too spooky for him and just really has some odd stuff for a kid's video. As one reviewer commented, one CAN see these Gothic types of things in any American HIGH school (I know--I teach in one), but one does not expect to see discussions of Wiccans and the Salem Witch Trials in a "Fun for the Whole Family" video. There is some really warped stuff in this film. Teenagers may like it, but my son was not a happy camper. I advise parents of "young'uns" to stay away from this video no matter how tempted you are to think Lisa and I are just some religious zealots. There's no fun, light-hearted song in the background during the chase scene here; they are running for their lives!
