Scooby Movie

This review is from: Aloha, Scooby-Doo! (DVD) This is an Easter gift for my son, so we have not watched it yet. The DVD came new, shrink wrapped. I opened it to be sure it was in there, it was, and no scratches. Should be fine.

Very fun and very enjoyable

I have to say that when I think of Scooby-Doo I think of laughs,entertainment, enjoyment, and the past few Scooby-Doo cartoon didn'tquiet click right as Scooby-Doo and the legend of the vampire wasboring and not very good, Scooby-Doo and the monster of Mexico was justOK, and Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness monster was an improvement, theyjust didn't compare to the previous Scooby-Doo cartoons. But this onewas great, it had non-stop laughs, good twists and turns, while it hadan almost predictable ending it couldn't change how good this mysterywas.While on a vacation in Hawaii Scooby and the gang go to catch the bigkahuna of Hanahuna surfing contest, but before they even get there theyfind out that the small village is being terrorized by the legendaryWikki Tikki along with his tiny slaves that help scare the people inthe town away. They find out that one of the villagers has beenkidnapped by the Wikki Tikki and the gang have no other choice but tosolve the mystery. Throughout the whole mystery the gang is met withconstant laughs, great twists and turns, I couldn't stop smilingthrough the whole cartoon. While this Scooby-Doo has a very predictableending it doesn't take anything away from how great this cartoonactually is.The plot and setting returns once again to the original Scooby-Doowhere there is a mastermind behind the whole mystery and the by the endthey find out the villain is just a man in a mask. This is alwayssomething I've enjoyed about these Scooby-Doo cartoons while in thecartoons where the monster were real are still very good I always findthe original way is much better as it gives the old feeling back.The storyline this cartoon follows is great, it gives us all a barrelof laughs and a great mystery to watch. Although it has a predictableending it is still something you will want to watch over and overagain.This has to be the best all star voice cast I've ever seen in aScooby-Doo cartoon so far it has so many great and famous actors suchas: Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo and Fred, Mindy Cohn as Velma, GreyDelisle as Daphne, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Tia Carrere as Snookie, MarioLopez as Manu Tuiama, Teri Garr as Mayor Molly Quinn and they even haveAdam West as Jared Moon. This all star voice cast does an excellent jobgreat job at the character they are playing.By the time the cartoon was over nothing could take the smile off myface and it was defiantly one of the best Scooby-Doo cartoons I haveseen in a while and it is guaranteed to bring smiles to the faces ofall the people that watch it no matter what age. So make sure you rentor buy Aloha, Scooby-Doo because you will want to watch it over andover again, and forget about the predictable ending and just sit backand enjoy.Overall score: ******** out of ********** **** out of *****

Not at all bad.

If I had to use a phrase to sum up this movie, I would have to usebetter than expected. Aloha Scooby Doo was not at all bad, flawed yes,but entertaining. The animation I thought was beautiful, with wonderfulexotic backgrounds and some sinister looking ones too. I thought it wasvery funny, especially Shaggy, voiced by the one and only Casey Kasem,who just brings a sense of vitality to the character, and it is alwaysa delight to see. The other voice talents are also great, Adam Westeven makes an appearance. The music is lovely here, quite atmospheric.The characters are very likable, and I must say the WikiKiki is quitesomething, in a scary sort of way. I also liked the fact that Daphne'shair actually came useful for once, to point the gang north. However,the story is fairly predictable, and sometimes unevenly paced. And Idid find the character of Molly a bit annoying. Overall, not a badmovie, as a matter of fact I really did like it, and I give it an 8/10.Bethany Cox

One of the best of the new movies

This movie really had no let downs for me. The setting is stunning anddown with great animation. I would recommend this movie based just onthat. The plot is fairly good as well. It takes a while to figure outwho did the crime. There are some good laughs along the way as well. Ican't say anything bad about the characters, they all seemed to live upto expectation. I thought scooby could have been a little more involvedthough. As I mentioned briefly before, the animation was done verywell. At points everything looked 3D rather than cartoon. The openingand closing songs were pretty good as well. All in all, scooby doo fanscannot miss this one, it;s definitely one of the best out of the moviesthat have been produced within the last decade.

Lots of fun, very long

This review is from: Aloha, Scooby-Doo! (DVD) The gang goes to Hawaii for a surfing contest and finds the area infested with vengeful tiki-monsters. Mostly fun, classic Scooby stuff and rather silly in spots, which is par for the course. Daphne is more confident in this video and she surfs very well. I also noticed the movie was long, a little too long for my taste, but both my kids loved it and the DVD has some nice extras. This DVD is a lot of fun and a good buy.

Wiki Tiki!!

This review is from: Aloha, Scooby-Doo! (DVD) Scooby-Do and the gang in Hawaii! Entertaining for my little man. Surprisingly very good animations! Hawaii is beautiful even in a cartoon!

A little scary, but still great

My 5 year old picked this movie as part of his gift certificate. He and his brother have watched it at least 20 times since then. It is a little scary at times, but not too bad. The celebrity voices are fun to recognize, and the plot isn't too campy. A great DVD for scooby doo lovers.

Cute

This review is from: Aloha, Scooby-Doo! (DVD) It's cute, if you prefer "old school" Scooby, you'll like this, even if it contributes to the "Buffy-ization" of Daphne, it's slighter in this than the horrid "Samurai Sword" one. At least there's that ADORABLE scene for the Fred/Daphne fans where Fred's all jealous because she's being ogled and he gets all angry-faced... ;) Cute plot, not too bad, stayed mostly in character... 4-5.

I liked this a lot!

Since Warners revamped the Scooby-Doo franchise in 1998, feature lengthmysteries have been inconsistent. The first few had real monsters, withno rubber masks, but far too many disgustingly PC mommies in Americacomplained and the Brothers Warner folded and went back to the "guy ina suit to scare away the locals" stories. A shame.What a surprise then that Scooby's latest adventure is actually quitegood, despite its PC shortcomings. This time around the Mystery Inc.gang are in Hawaii, catching some rays and relaxation. Typically, thisis the exact moment the local volcano starts brewing over and a bigmonster called the Wiki-Tiki rears its ugly head, scaring away all ofthe surfers from the Hunahana resort and kidnapping a local babe. Ifyou are incredibly sad, like me, you will realise this is too much likethe 1970 episode, A Tiki Scare Is No Fair.The usual long list of suspects includes a sleazy real estate agent, anambitious mayor and an eccentric holiday rep (Adam West). And just assoon as their mystery-solving begins, the real culprit is immediatelynoticeable. It's a poorly written whodunit, but what saves it are crazyset pieces and a varied atmosphere, which keep the mystery interesting,if obvious. Or, at least, obvious to a 24-year-old. It may well come asa surprise to an eight-year-old.Locations, such as the beach, the deep jungle, the catacombs and AuntieMahina's cabin, are beautifully animated. The best thing about themodern Scooby is that production values are a zillion times what theoriginal 1969 series was. Aloha, Scooby-Doo looks incredibly slick andthe eye-popping colour schemes would keep you interested no matter howpoor the mystery was.One could accuse the film of being slightly xenophobic and somewhatstereotypical in regards to its Hawaiian setting. But it's no worsethan the unrealistic Scotland seen in last year's Scooby-Doo And TheLoch Ness Monster.I was also surprised at how little of it actually relies on Scooby(voiced by Frank Welker, who also does Fred). He barely gets a chanceto do his thang. Most of the laughs come from the rest of the gang.But, as it is, Aloha, Scooby-Doo is still loads of fun and proves thatwhile the story quality of modern Scoobys remains inconsistent, theanimation just gets better and better.

Great One

This review is from: Scooby-Doo: Aloha Scooby-Doo! (Amazon Instant Video) If your kids like Scooby, they will love this one. Very well done and entertaining. We bought this for the flight to Hawaii and my son couldn't get enough. I like it, too.

Scooby-Do in Hawaii

Daffney wins a design contest and the Mystery, Inc. gang travels to Hawaii, a trip that happens to coincide with the annual surfing contest there. The volcano god is angry, however, and people start to disappear as a result. Of course, it's all just a scam on the part of the bad guys to scare people off their land so it can be purchased at discount prices because being a surfing champ doesn't pay very well. When the volcano god sends its minions on yet another raid, Scooby and the gang discover that animatronics and rocket science do mix.This is another in the new animated Scooby-Doo movies and is far superior to the old animated series. It also features music by Don Ho. If you like Scooby-Doo you'll want to add this to your collection. It appeals to kids and adult fans alike.

Curse of the tiki god

This is one the several movies in the poplar cartoon Scooby Doo movie series. A word of warning this movie has several parts with mild cartoon violence, mild scary images and mild thematic elements which might make this movie to dark and intense for kids under the age of 7 unless supervised by at least two parents or guardians. In this movie Scooby and the gang go to Hawaii were and ancient tike god is terrorizing the locals can scobby and the gain stop this terror and solve the mystery find out in the exciting conclusion.

Surprisingly Good

Huge Scooby Doo fan. Any Scooby Doo DVD release is heavily anticipated by my kids. Some of their movie choices are difficult to watch but not this one. Aloha has a good story and continues to develope the great characters by continuing to make Daphne smarter and more resourceful rather than the "dumb,accident-prone, pretty one" like the 60's show.Overall a very good addition to the series and our collection.

What a hoot!

This was silly fun -- although a bit scary for the younger (3-year-old) set. What a hoot! Teri Garr, Adam West, along with "the gang" are having fun, and it shows. Plus, who wouldn't love the Hawaiian backdrop? My only complaint is that Daphne is turning into Barbie -- the "it" girl who can do everything and doesn't need the rest of the gang. If you can ignore this flagrant disregard of the ensemble genre, you will enjoy finding Velma in the face of the gecko! Vintage-style silliness with a little extra edge.

ABSOUTLY HORRIBLE!!! SCOOBY-DOO FLOP!!

This Scooby-Doo VHS is ABSOULTY HORRIBLE!! It lacks exciting adventures and silly antics of the Scooby-Doo team too drawn out and serous not anough scary monsters or surprises...too much boring details not anough silly actions that kids like....Plus its higher cost I paid 9.95 TRUST ME BUY Scooby-Doo 2 or Scooby-Doo Cyber Chase Those keep the kids glued to the T.V. very exciting Just the way we want Scooby Doo to be!!!

funny flick

This was humorous, entertaining, and refreshingly new in its Scoobytradition. The names are interesting, the mystery keeps you going, andthe only complaint I had was that it was relatively easy to figure out.There were a lot of elements to the story and it is well drawn. It is agood pick if you like the newer stories, and the voices are well doneas well as the graphics and sound. The kids and I laughed over the names, "Tikki Hikki Wikki" and had agreat time with this one! Like many other scooby stories, it was sortof educational for the kids on old mythology as well.We recommend this one!

Souless and Pointless.

This movie is just a huge waste of time. The story was just awful,the visuals and animation looke tired and ugly. Tje acting and direction where absoultely horrible. Enough crappy scooby doo cartoons that nobody even watches. Scooby doo is totally dead.

TWO YEAR OLD FASINATED!!

I noticed my 2 year old grandson getting very bored with Thomas the Train and Sesame Street, they're very repetitious. I decided to try Scooby Doo and started with the Aloha one as I live at the beach and knew he could relate somewhat- WOW - was I surprised to see that not only did it keep his attention, he learned new words and phrases that are mindful of children his age, it's full of fun & excitement, and further, he now understands that "Wickie Tickie" Monsters are just "pretend" as the film explains in the end. This puts an end to the hum-drum videos our children are subjected to just because someone else says certain videos are not "age appropriate". Let your children experience some fun! They're growing up in a dark world out there......
