I thought these could use their own topic. They've been going for 15 years with no signs of stopping.

I've been catching up on them recently. Thoughts on ones I've seen so far.

The Best:

The Very Good:

  • Scooby Doo And The Witchs Ghost - not as strong as Zombie, and the Hex Girls songs were a bit lame even for Scooby standards (but they make up for it by being the sexiest things in any Scooby-Doo ever). Also, you've got Tim Curry, why waste him doing an American accent
  • Scooby Doo And The Goblin King: ahh, much better

The So-so:

The Bad:

  • Scooby Doo And The Monster Of Mexico - sunk a littl e too much into 70's camp style, plus even for Scooby-Doo that chase scene in the middle pretty out there that the old "it's special effects" excuse was hard to buy
  • Aloha Scooby Doo - maybe bad's a little harsh, more like forgettable or predictable

Up next for me Scooby Doo In Wheres My Mummy

Also, thoughts on the upcoming Scooby-Doo & WWE project? I never much cared for Scooby-doo gang + celebrity guest star era. On the other hand, given given how frequently behind the times Vince Mc Mahon is, he should be right around the Pup Named Scooby-Doo phase, so it will be an interesting collision.

Of the recent ones, I prefer Phantosaur and Abracadabra to Camp Scare, and I really want to see Big Top want of these days. And if you like references to classic Hanna Barbera, oh man - watch Mask Of The Blue Falcon right now.

Of the Whats New Scooby Doo-era movies, Where's My Mummy is probably the best. I have a soft spot for the pirate one too, but I dunno how other people feel about it. Quite a few of them feel like episodes stretched out rather than something made to run as long as they do, though, like the Loch Ness one.

I've only seen a few of them. As a kid my fave was Cyber chase, but i haven't seen it in years.

I really like the animation, and just the overall atmosphere, from Abracadabra Doo, Camp Scare, Phantasaur, Big Top Scooby Doo, and Mask of the Blue Falcon (haven't seen Music of the Vampire). It's classic HB designs done really, really well.

I remember really liking the very first one as a kid, thought the second one was decent, and then hated all of the rest. The Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo and beyond movies have all been pretty good.
