Aloha, Scooby-Doo!

It didn't fall as flat as Cyber Chase, or Aliens, but after Loch Ness, well, it didn't even reach the bar.

Still, it had enough little jokes and hidden gags for adults to get a chuckle, especially the Gilligan thing.

But ultimately it seemed to try too hard to rob Lilo and Stitch of the Hawaiian culture without really paying it the same respect that Walt did.

Its worth a watch, but not something you should buy. Rent it.

"The gang" was well recognized from their backgrounds but also had a few extra tricks up their sleeves. Animation flowed smoothly, some CGI added nice effects, story would pull in perhaps new/young fans, but voice talent was top-notch. I was surprised how star studded the cast was for this production. Humour was a nice mix of classic and one-liners. Culture was mixed into the theme of the movie without being hyperbolic. Happy to hear words like "jeepers" and "jinkies" in these films. This is top shelf Scooby Doo, looking forward to watching again.

The last star to make this a 10 out of 10 could've been earned with a plot twist or a soundtrack that had a lot of songs to re-listen to. Some writing choices I would've made differently, but still appreciate it overall. The closing credits song was a great wrap-up.

This was humorous, entertaining, and refreshingly new in its Scooby tradition. The names are interesting, the mystery keeps you going, and the 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 a good pick if you like the newer stories, and the voices are well done as well as the graphics and sound.

The kids and I laughed over the names, "Tikki Hikki Wikki" and had a great time with this one! Like many other scooby stories, it was sort of educational for the kids on old mythology as well.

We recommend this one!

This for me was not one of the better straight to DVD Scooby-Doo outings, it fell a bit flat and seemed far longer than it actually was. Which seeing as it was only 71 mins to start with was a concern.

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