Never worked properly

This review is from: Aloha, Scooby-Doo! (DVD) Opened the packaging, had multiple scratches evident on the DVD. It was horrible, attempted to play it just for hopes sake and 4 minutes into play it freezes, starts up a minute or so later and then stops again. My kid never got to see the whole movie. Only 4 minutes of it. Very disappointed with this product. Total crap.

Great Scooby movie

This review is from: Scooby-Doo: Aloha Scooby-Doo! (Amazon Instant Video) This is a great Scooby Doo movie! I bought for my daughter and I enjoyed it too! It is one you could watch over and over. It not the same as classic Scooby but still good.

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.

one of our family favorite Scooby movies

This review is from: Aloha, Scooby-Doo! (DVD) My kids love most all our Scooby dvds, but when my husband or I are taking time to sit down and watch (as opposed to working in ear shot) we all pick this one often. Smart, modern, very well written and acted, great animation, fantastic story, love it! This is certainly one of our family favorites!

you see one episode, you've seen them all

well, overall, this movie is the same thing we have seen so far inscooby doo's episodes so far. story: well they are chasing some wikitiki thing and searching for some girl and basically doing everythingyou'd expect from a normal movie or episode. dialogue: same old thingas we are used to in this scooby doo crap. the same 8 or so charactersrepeating the same basic concept over and over and over and over andover and over and over. there are a few lame jokes, and a couple ofwitty lines at the ending of the movie and that is it. so basically,this movie is the exact same thing that we could expect from an averageepisode, just enlarged by about an hour. so if you actually enjoy theepisodes of this show, and have a lot of time on your hands, you justmight like this movie. because there is really no difference

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

Not one of the better Scooby Doo movies.

This review is from: Scooby-Doo: Aloha Scooby-Doo! (Amazon Instant Video) There wasn't a real plot and the characters were not great either. I was surprised at the quality of this movie. I usually like the movies??

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.

Hey, Scooby-Doo, why so blu?

Since Warner revamped the Scooby-Doo franchise in 1998, the feature length mysteries have been inconsistent. The first few had real monsters, with no rubber masks, but far too many disgustingly PC mommies in America complained and the Brothers Warner folded and went back to the "guy in a suit to scare away the locals" stories. A shame.What a surprise then that Scooby's 2005 adventure is actually quite good, despite its PC shortcomings. This time around the Mystery Inc. gang are in Hawaii, catching some rays and relaxation. Typically, this is the exact moment the local volcano starts brewing over and a big monster called the Wiki-Tiki rears its ugly head, scaring away all of the surfers from the Hanahuna resort and kidnapping a local babe. If you are incredibly sad, like me, you will realize this is a little too much like the 1970 episode, A Tiki Scare Is No Fair.The usual long list of suspects includes a sleazy real estate agent, an ambitious mayor, and an eccentric holiday rep (Adam West). And just as soon as their mystery-solving begins, the real culprit is immediately noticeable. It's a poorly written whodunit, but what saves it are crazy set pieces and a varied atmosphere, which keep the mystery interesting, if obvious. Or, at least, obvious to a 30-year-old. It may well come as a surprise to an eight-year-old.Locations, such as the beach, the deep jungle, the catacombs and Auntie Mahina's cabin, are beautifully animated. The best thing about the modern Scooby is that production values are a zillion times what the original 1969 series was. Aloha, Scooby-Doo looks incredibly slick and the eye-popping color schemes would keep you interested no matter how poor the mystery was.One could accuse the film of being slightly stereotypical in regards to its Hawaiian setting. But it's no worse than the unrealistic Scotland seen in 2004's Scooby-Doo And The Loch 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 chance to do his thing. 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 that while the story quality of modern Scoobys remains inconsistent, the animation just gets better and better.The Blu Ray features a lovely 1.78:1 1080p picture bursting with colors that pop off the screen and a decent DTS HD-MA soundtrack. Extras are minimal and are in standard definition.

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.

A Decent Chapter

The best way to begin is to show you where I stand. I think "Scooby Doo On Zombie Island" and "Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost" were the best. In my opinion, "Scooby Doo and the Alien Invasion" and "Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase" were kind of on the mediocre side. "Legend of the Vampire" was a really good return to form. "Monster of Mexico" was on the decent side. I couldn't really get into "Loch Ness Monster." This 8th chapter was pleasantly surprising. It starts with the gang innocently going to Hawaii on yet another vacation. And AS USUAL they discover another mystery while on vacation. Interestingly, in this one case they have deal with some slight bigotry. ('The mainlanders') Scooby and Shaggy are still ofcourse after any available meal. There is some well placed suspense as well as misleads and comical characters along the way. (Listen for a cameo appearance by Adam West-Batman.) You'll probably also recognize Terri Garr. I can't say too much without spoiling the movie, but I will say in the spirit of Scooby Doo, the surprises behind the 'secret plots' are well placed, and we realize that they make sense upon discovery. And ofcourse, we'll be laughing along the way as well. My only real complaint is that in this chapter Fred's leadership and control of the situation and Velmah's looking at things from the research lab is starting to give way to Daphne handling most of the situation herself. That said, this 8th chapter lacks the power and intensity of "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island" and "The Witch's Ghost." And I can't quite put it up there with "Legend of the Vampire." But all in all, it is a good 8th chapter that has some good laughs and is worth owning.
