Aloha, Scooby-Doo!

"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.

Aloha, Scooby Doo plays in Hawaii and is about a surf competition. This sets the setting for a beautiful environment for the story to take place. All in all the story is a bit too simple and does hardly build up any suspense. This movie gives away a lot by telling you the bad guy right from the start. The usual run and hide game, which is typical for the series, again takes in a prominent role in this movie. On the technical side, the face expressions could have been drawn a bit more carefully to show more emotions. Beside these weaknesses, Scooby makes the audience laugh once in a while, especially when he and Shaggy are trapped in bad situations. Not the best movie ever, but a light "Scooby Snack" to pass some time.

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

This movie really had no let downs for me. The setting is stunning and down with great animation. I would recommend this movie based just on that. The plot is fairly good as well. It takes a while to figure out who did the crime. There are some good laughs along the way as well. I can't say anything bad about the characters, they all seemed to live up to expectation. I thought scooby could have been a little more involved though. As I mentioned briefly before, the animation was done very well. At points everything looked 3D rather than cartoon. The opening and closing songs were pretty good as well. All in all, scooby doo fans cannot miss this one, it;s definitely one of the best out of the movies that have been produced within the last decade.

This movie was not bad. It's entertaining and fun but don't expect a great plot. The plot wasn't really developed in this. Nothing happened throughout the whole thing. The bad guys were pretty obvious from the beginning. However, it was definitely better than the Lochness Monster. The voice acting was great once again from each character but the story just made it fall flat. Give it a try because it is really fun but watch it with no expectations.
