Summary: Scobby Doo is back and scared than ever.
Review: Scooby Doo makes a comeback from his 3 films in the late 80's. And this time they added Scooby Doo Where Are You? But the movie is short. The first 3 was between 90-95 minutes long. But it seems that that it got cut down short. The movie clocks at about 77 minutes. Scooby Doo and Shaggy star in this you must love to watch me eat movie.

This time there is no Scrappy Doo. But the whole gang is here. But they have broken up because the monstars/ghosts are bad guys in maskes. Daphne has her own show while Fred runs it. Velma opened her own mystery bookstore, and Scooby and Shaggy has both gotten jobs at the same airport. But get fired when thier boss catchs them not working. A few seconds later Shaggy gets a phone call from Fred. Shaggy cliams that Scooby and him was just thinking of taking some time off.

Fred is inviting Shaggy and Scooby along for the ride to find a real haunted house for Daphne's viewers. The show is entering its second season. Fred aslo invited Velma along too. And she was saving a box of Scooby Snacks for a long time. But now they are no good. Daphne wishes to find a real haunted house. She is tired of finding fake ghosts.

And just so happens that she gets her wish. A young woman was listening in on the talking and decides to show them her bosses haunted house. Shaggy and Scooby are off eating at the time. (of course). Her name is Lena. And her bosses name is Simone. But Simone doesn't like dogs. So she has cats. Lots of cats. How does Simone keep track of them?

And the house is really haunted. And with lots of hot peppers. Simone doesn't have tv on her island. Scooby Doo gets Simone all shook up after he chases her cats. So she wants something done about Scooby. Simone welcomes Scooby to her kitchen if that will keep him from catching cats. I think this must be the scariest Scooby Doo film of all the films so far. Some secens make give little kids nightmares. But still good movie.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Feature for Adults Who Remember the Original Series.
Review: THE ZOMBIES, DEMONS, VOODO, AND WEREWOLF ARE REAL AND WITH THE EXCELLENT SKILL OF ANIMATORS ARE QUITE GRUESOME! This is a great movie for adults who liked the series, but really not for children unless an adult is present. The musical scores and gags are great, the updated careers of the gang are interesting, and the voices and animation are top notch, too. I really enjoyed this video, but can not stress enough that it is Not For Young Children

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCOOBY IS STILL COOL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
Review: I must admit that the first time I watched Zombie Island it was with low expectations. I am 34 years old and like most people my age we grew up watching Scooby Doo on Saturday morning.

My wife and I first purchased the "classic" Scooby Doo series for our 3 year old son. He really enjoys watching them over and over and over again!! I must also admit that my wife and I also enjoy the classic episodes.

We purchased Zombie Island about a month ago and he likes it as much or more than the classics.

I was skeptical at first as I previously stated. How could a new version of Scooby Doo measure up to the classic ones?? Especially without the original voices and annimation..

Zombie Island does justice to the original series. The characters, although very 90s' are still very much the same as the ones in the classics. They actually wear different outfits-with the exception of Shaggy (Velma does have different shoes and socks!) The Mystery Machine is updated with computers ect. Even the Scooby Doo song is done in a very 90s' way.

Not to mention, the animation is much better in Zombie Island than the classics.

A true example of "the more things change-the more they stay the same" True, Scooby Doo is "updated" but it hasn't "changed"

Scooby Doo Zombie Island should appeal kids as well as adults who grew up watching the classics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scooby and the gang encounter real zombies, no masked put on
Review: Ever since I was a toddler, Scooby Doo has always been one of my favorite cartoons to watch. "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" is the first Scooby Doo movie I saw and I was pretty satisfied with it. Scooby-Doo and the gang are up to some of their usual things, and even taking on some new challenges. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy still eat every chance they get, the gang still drives the Mystery Machine, and they're still hunting ghosts no matter how scared Scooby or Shaggy get at the site of seeing a ghost.

Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, and Velma all travel to a woman's house after she claims she lives in a real haunted house. They all soon find out that she's right, her house is haunted. Dead ghosts arise and form themselves into zombies. The biggest difference about "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" when compared to the cartoon series is that in this movie, the zombies are real, no masks this time around, and I thought that that was a nice twist.

"Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" is great for anyone who likes watching Scooby-Doo, but especially for kids. Its mystery is more mysterious than ever, it's entertaining, and it's also funny at times such as the way Scooby says "Cats" and then chases them around all over the place.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I agree ...
Review: My son and I LOVE Scooby. This one is different. The Zombies end up being real, no masks. The actually pull one of their heads off showing that they are not wearing masks. Good story and funny moments, but definitely feel a PG-13 warning should be put on this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better Than Much Horror On The Market
Review: With only a few exceptions, I find many horror movies to be pure nonsense. They are implausible, often the story takes a back seat to blood and gore, and character development is often poor. "Scooby Doo On Zombie Island" seems to nail down an ideal pattern. The characters are well developed, the story is well constructed, and the misleads are well placed. Also, the solution to the mystery is not obvious, but a sharp observer can notice things along the way that point up to solving the mystery. Do the horror aspects pass plausibility? Yes, but instead of jumping way beyond the plausible line, it steps over it just enough to surprise you and put you in suspense. I call this an ideal horror movie because the scarey aspects are placed into the story well, and it is not the effects or graphics that can scare you, but the gradual unfolding of the situation. The soundtrack is also well placed. I highly suggest this video not only to Scooby Doo fans, but horror fans as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Watch out, parents!
Review: This is not the Scooby you grew up with where the gang always proved to themselves (and their viewers) that monsters were never real and you didn't need to be scared. I loved being just a little scared as a child because I knew, in the end, the gang would come through and show that the monsters were just silly bad guys trying to scare everyone. As a parent, this was a message I liked my little ones to get. I could always say, "See? There are no real monsters or ghosts. It was just a sneaky bad guy who is going to jail." This is a great lesson for impressionable minds. Leave it to modern "advances" to add real ghosts and zombies to this formula! It really confused my kids who kept waiting for the bad guys to get arrested and proven to be fake. That message is obliterated in this movie. I am not a fanatic but this isn't the message I want for my small children and isn't that Scooby's real audience?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scooby and Gang Encounter a Real Haunting!
Review: This feature length adventure has Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Freddie, and Velma investigating a haunted isle deep in a Louisiana bayou. Laughs and Scares in equal measure as the Mystery Inc. crew finally come across ghosts who aren't just crooks in masks!

Scooby and Shaggy get their fill of Cajun cooking and of course there are the required chase scenes. But it's not just zombies the gang has to worry about...

A fun Scooby Doo adventure that's a great addition to any fan's home video collection

(Warning: this might be a little too intense for really young children so parents who are concerend about such things ought to view this film first)
