''Aloha, Scooby-Doo!'' is the eighth installment in the WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooDirectToVideoFilmSeries produced by Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation.

This movie shows Mystery Incorporated in UsefulNotes/{{Hawaii}} on an all-expenses-paid trip thanks to Daphne, who won a contest to design some new swimwear for a surf company called "Goha Aloha" (who's also sponsoring the gang's trip to Hawaii). Daphne's supposed to meet up with a company representative named Jared Moon in a town called Hanahuna Bay, which hosts an annual surfing contest called "The Big Kahuna of Hanahuna." However, there's a lot of conflict surrounding this year's contest--traditionally, the contest is only for locals, but the mayor has now made it open for everyone, including mainlanders. Also, there's been a lot of scary stuff happening in and around Hanahuna Bay, relating to an evil spirit known as the Wiki-Tiki, who also has an army of little tiki-demons. Not long before the surfing contest, the Wiki-Tiki and it's mini-demons attacked the beach where the contest is supposed to be held and kidnapped Snookie, a local girl--Manu, Snookie's boyfriend whose also the best surfer in the area (and is also the current "Big Kahuna of Hanahuna"), agrees to help the gang solve the mystery of the Wiki-Tiki and rescue his girlfriend.

Oh, and [[MsFanservice Daphne]]'s in the surfing contest.

!!This movie provides examples of the following tropes:

* AdamWesting: Creator/AdamWest ([[TropeNamer duh]]) as Jared Moon.
* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Scooby eats loads of macadamia nuts without ill effects. Macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: When Manu is telling the story of the Wiki-Tiki, he mentions that the first settlers to Hawaii were a group of Portuguese on board the El Guerrero looking for new lands in 1815. In reality Hawaii had already seen foreign contact in 1778 (some evidence suggests earlier contact between 1422-1664). Hawaii was soon established as a modernized empire by King Kamehameha with the help of the British in 1795, but in Manu's story, it looks like the island is still in the stone age. Other problems include the ship known as, El Guerrero, which in reality was a US ship, later given to the Spanish, but never the Portuguese. The explorers depicted are also oddly wearing plate armour and morion helmets, as if it was set in the 16th century, as opposed to the 19th century as Manu claims. [[spoiler:Then again, Manu may have been making the story up as part of the hoax.]]
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: As TheFashionista of the team, with her winning a design contest being the reason for them traveling to Hawaii, Daphne goes the entire film leaving her midriff-exposed in a bikini and a casual outfit. Meanwhile Velma goes for more covering but location-appropriate attire.
* BatScare: The gangs ends up disturbing a bat roost while traversing the caverns. Happens again when the gang is running away from the Wiki-Tiki in the temple.
* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: Subverted. Shaggy uses hot sauce to add to his and Scooby's bowls of poi, but the [[FireBreathingDiner usual results]] from this trope don't happen.
* CitywideEvacuation: The monster attacks make dozens of visiting continental American surfers pack up their cars and flee town. As the attacks progress, a second wave of people made up of native Hawaiians flee (including a young girl pulling a toy wagon full of her personal things).
* TheCon: [[spoiler:After Manu and Snookie are revealed to be the culprits, Velma reveals that they were doing it to scare away both the locals and the tourists to buy up all the property in the area dirt-cheap and then sell it back to the original owners at a huge profit.]]
* ConvectionShmonvection: As expected in cartoons, the fact that the air near lava is just as hot as the lava itself is ignored.
* CoolCar: The gang apparently couldn't bring the Mystery Machine with them to Hawaii, but they got a rental car that has the same coloring scheme as the Mystery Machine does.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Briefly examined at the end, [[spoiler:because Manu being the top surfer in Hanahuna means jack for actually managing to persist off of the infrequent winnings alone, and Snookie's robotics and rocket degrees clearly didn't get her very far in life either to be working with Manu's scheme. The entire cause for the plot was them trying to scare everyone off and buy up the land to sell for some quick cash due to major money troubles as a result.. only for Scooby to make the mini-Tikis dance at the end for the party, implying if Snookie was less quick to be a criminal she could've perhaps used her work for other, more positive intentions.]]
* DarkhorseVictory: To the villains, as Scooby unintentionally beats them in the surfing contest.
* TheDogBitesBack: Molly Quinn finds out that [[spoiler:Manu, the best surfer on the island, was scapegoating her as a "mainlander" and been attracting everyone's ire for TemptingFate with the Wiki-Tiki. When he claims he still won the contest, she gets her own back by delivering the trophy to Scooby]].
* DramaticThunder / TemptingFate: When Molly Quinn tries to assure Mystery Inc. how safe Hanahuna is, she says, "You're more likely to get struck by lightning than become some silly sacrifice." Cue lightning suddenly flashing with some ''very'' loud thunder, [[ThunderEqualsDownpour followed by]] [[CueTheRain a downpour]].
* EccentricMentor: Auntie Mahina; in spite of having the "dark shaman" reputation, she is very playful, quirky and extroverted. {{Lampshaded}} by Velma:
-->She's a Shaman -- she's ''supposed'' to be eccentric.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: After Fred claims, "[[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName Danger is my middle name!]]," Velma reveals that his middle name is actually "Herman," making Fred's full name Fredrick Herman Jones.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Little Jim is shocked and appalled that Manu and Snookie would betray their own people for a quick buck.]]
* FullBoarAction: Subverted. Shaggy and Scooby get frightened by an unseen creature which they think is the Wiki-Tiki, only to be relieved when it turns out to be a boar (a small one at that) that is only interested in the snow cones they dropped in their panic. The same boar later joins them in escaping from the Wiki-Tiki.
* GivenNameReveal: Snookie's real name is eventually revealed to be [[spoiler:Pamela Waeawa, which is the name that she and Manu bought all the local property under.]]
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Shaggy does this when he, Scooby, and Velma have to cross a rope bridge, to persuade Velma to go first. She lampshades that they don't seem to know how probability works, before going ahead to humor them.
* HeresJohnnyHomage: Happens when Fred locks two of the Tiny Tikis in a shed and they try to hack out with an axe. Due to being TheUnintelligible, they never say a variation of the quote.
* InnocentBigot: Despite his dislike of mainlanders, Little Jim is rather friendly towards Mystery Inc. Also, near the end of the movie when the surfing contest is going on, when a mainlander-contestant wipes out after getting attacked by the Wiki-Tiki, Little Jim goes over to help the guy up and make sure he's okay (which the guy seems appreciative).
* {{Jerkass}}: Pretty much all the non-local contestants are jerks except for Daphne (who ends up entering the competition as a way to draw out the Wiki-Tiki).
* JerkassHasAPoint: At the start of the movie a mainland surfer is right when he tells Manu how just because he lives in the town where the surf contest is being held, doesn't mean the ocean belongs to him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Molly Quinn is a bit harried and overconfident, wanting her mayor job because she doesn't want to go back to selling shoes. We find out she had nothing to do with the monster, and she's understandably put out to learn she was a scapegoat while the real culprits hurt innocent people. [[spoiler:She not only crowns Scooby as the best surfer for beating the Wiki-Tiki, but also throws a party for the gang to thank them for saving the town, and her job]].
* LavaAddsAwesome: There's conflict where the gang have to get past lava just because.
%%* LetsSplitUpGang
* {{Macgyvering}}: When Daphne nearly falls from a broken rope bridge, she digs dental floss from her purse using her teeth. She turns it into a makeshift grappling hook to pull herself up the cliff. As she puts it, "Don't leave home without it."
* MisplacedWildlife: Hummingbirds appear in the opening scene. There are no hummingbirds native to Hawaii.
* MrFanservice: Manu could qualify for this--being voiced by Mario Lopez definitely helps.
* MsFanservice: Daphne, even more so here than usual, since she's either in a bikini or a midriff-baring outfit for nearly the entire film. Manu's girlfriend, Snookie, could also qualify.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The real culprits probably would have gotten away with their crime, except they made several mistakes:
** [[spoiler:Manu faked his kidnapping while taking the gang to Auntie Mahina the long way, through tall grass. Mahina reveals she actually lives next to the main road]]. This alerted Velma that [[spoiler:Manu was lying to them because the main road would have been easier to navigate]].
** [[spoiler:Snookie screamed and ran away from them]] when they were investigating the volcano and revealing that they were a rescue team. [[spoiler:While at the time the gang concluded she was scared out of her mind due to a monster imprisoning her, Velma got wise when she did some homework later on the Internet using Snookie's real name]].
* ScoobyDooHoax: [[spoiler:The Wiki Tiki is really Manu in a disguise.]]
* ShownTheirWork: When Shaggy brings up the old "blind as a bat" phrase, Velma corrects him that bats actually have good vision and rely on their echolocation to navigate through the dark.
* SnakesAreSinister: The gang has to cross a snake pit in the caverns.
-->'''Shaggy''': S-s-snakes! I hate snakes!\\
'''Daphne''': By the looks of it, they're not exactly fond of you either.
* SurferDude: There are a few surfer dudes here, specifically Manu.
* VacationEpisode: The film has Scooby and the gang go to Hawaii.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Daphne spends a lot of screentime wearing a swimsuit.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: A huge amount of equipment and machinery went into pulling off the ScoobyDooHoax [[spoiler:though Manu and Snookie's motives for pulling the Hoax to cover their scam was because being surfing champion (and a robotics-expert/rocket-scientist) doesn't pay enough.]]
* YearsSupplyPrize: Shaggy and Scooby's grand prize for winning the surfing contest is a year's supply of macadamia nuts, which promptly arrives in a truck. Of course, Shaggy and Scooby being [[BigEater Shaggy and Scooby]], the "year's supply" lasts all of 15 seconds.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: [[spoiler:Once Manu and Snookie have been caught, Manu proceeds to smugly claim he's still the Big Kahuna of Hanahuna and that no one can take it from him. Molly proceeds to [[TheDogBitesBack prove him wrong]] and give the title to Scooby-Doo for his ''crazy'' surfing in stopping the Wiki-Tiki. Manu's SmugSnake attitude ''instantly'' disappears as he starts SuddenlyShouting in pure, befuddled anger about how he lost to a dog.]]
* YouMeddlingKids: Or, more specifically, "meddling ''mainlanders''."
