SCOOBY-DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND (FF) (DVD)

My fav movie as I am of Louisiana Creole decent

great movie

What can be said about the titular hound’s trip to Zombie Island? The film is THE Scooby Doo film, with some of the best portrayal of the “Gang” we see in the franchise’s long and historied run. The movie itself has a solid run time, it never overstays its welcome. Has a fantastic twist, wonderful voice acting, and a few solid jokes and japes to make any Scooby Doo fan happy as a clam.

This is pure fun.In the opening, this cranks up the ridiculous past anywhere it was in the original cartoon. Before the opening credits roll Shaggy locks a door with four or five locks, then opens a door across the way, sees a monster, turns and tries to pull the door he just locked open without unlocking it. Then he turns to the left and runs out an open archway into the hallway. That entire opening sequence, aside from being hilarious, sets up the “monsters are always fake” pathway.We move to Daphne in her modern world on a television interview talking about changing her career to a reporter for a show called “Coast to Coast with Daphne Blake” and get all the needed backstory on how the team split up, sans her and Fred (and, one presumes, Shaggy and Scooby), how she got bored with all the monsters and ghosts always being fake (ruh roh, foreshadowing) and what tone we might expect from the rest of the movie. From there it’s the traditional “get the gang back together and let’s go solve a mystery” motif. This sets up the “this time the monsters are real” pathway.The movie could follow either path. I’m not saying which it does.This appeals on multiple fronts. First, for fans of the original wanting more of what they fell in love with, the antics (some dive right into Loony Toons territory) the goofy traps, the dynamic of the team, this has it. At its core, that’s what this is (whacky chase scenes to music and all).Fans of the newer versions who like the more take a step back look at their world and their place in it, there is plenty of that here, particularly in the music (The Ghost is Here) and the jokes (stale Scooby Snax – that is how it’s spelled on the box). At one point Shaggy unpacks a suitcase filled with identical green shirts. The two elements balance and compliment each other quite well.For an old movie, this still holds up. The video is great for a cartoon, even if in a square, not wide-screen format because of its age, and the sound quality, while stereo not surround sound, is excellent. If you’re going to watch the 2019 Return to Zombie Island, it’s definitely worth watching this first as that is a direct sequel to this.

DVD works perfectly. Thank you so much!

Had to order it so my kids could experience this amazing movie!

One of the best new Scooby movies. Kids and I love it.

This movie is just great for family night. It’s just creepy enough to get a fun Halloween vibe. This is one of my favorite Scooby Doo movies. If your child gets scared easy it might be too much. But my daughter was fine with it. She wants to watch it all the time. I was very happy to be able to buy this and add it to my digital collection.

Produit corforme à la description et fonctionne très bien !

Schöner Scooby Doo Film. Ist auf einer Flip DVD (Seite A und B) aber nur wegen der verschiedenen Sprachen, man muss die DVD nicht während des Films drehen. Deutsche Tonspur ist vorhanden.

Junto a "El fantasma de la bruja", esta película está considerada lo mejor de la franquicia, una vuelta de tuerca que revitalizó sus claves. Para los seguidores de la saga este dvd precisamente (con la franja superior naranja) es una buena opción (si adquieren películas de Zona 1) ya que contiene el doblaje español latino que reconocemos de siempre en este tipo de películas.Aunque pongan Reino Unido, son importaciones del mercado USA.

I remember watching this movie years ago. Best Scooby-Doo cartoon movie ever released. Scooby-Doo plus zombies equal WIN!

Comedy family film fun for all was perfect
