Scooby-Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost (DVD)

Overall, I really liked it. I own all the Scooby Doo dvd's and series. I'm a huge fan haha. Like other Scooby Doo movies that feature celebrities or other animated characters, the movie centers on the featured guests as opposed to just on the Scooby gang. I disagree with a previous reviewer saying it felt "half-assed." It had most of the elements of a Scooby Doo movie; the ghost hauntings, the splitting up for clues, the being chased from all directions scenes, etc. It didn't have the bit where Shaggy and Scooby pretend to be someone else to distract the ghost/monster, but I think that's pretty minor :p I think the scene transitions in this were a bit awkward and perhaps the budget for the animation was not too high, but I thought it had that old-fashioned feel to it in the artwork and enjoyed the characters, especially Bobby and Giada, they were quite true to character in real life. They sometimes bickers on tv and it portrayed that in Scooby Doo :) I appreciated the subtle touches to the movie, like Bobby and Giada's cats were pretty adorable and the scene with the valet taking off was pretty funny. It wasn't a necessary scene, but it was a really nice touch and there's a few of those throughout the film. Plus there's quite a bit of plot twists at the end, even I was surprised haha. And I've been watching Scooby Doo for yearssss. To sum it up, I think it was cute and funny and very much enjoyable. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst Scooby Doo movie either. Like the Golbin King one weirded me out haha. I definitely don't regret buying it. If there's one flaw to it, it's that it felt more like Bobby and Giada featuring Scooby Doo rather than the other way around. As a Scooby fan, though, it was still enjoyable.

Wonderful and funny Scooby-Doo movie.

It brings you back to core memories plus watching Scooby-Doo with your kids is great. This cartoon was a nice family made cartoon.

Great

Animation is crisp. The gang is all here. Story is only ok, but not worse than that. Ghost is good. The highlight is Dana Snyder as Skip Taylor. I have no idea who this chap is but apparently he is some comedian and in the movie he lays down more than a few great lines. Nothing groundbreaking here, but solid SCOOBY-DOO. My only beef as usual is that as great as this animation team is they make Daphne brown skinned which makes no sense based on her back story and the other coloring for her (lips, eye balls) just makes her look washed out and not particularly fetching which is rare for such a fox. ... but, Grey still does dynamite voice acting for her and she's still cute. It's just a missed opportunity. OVERALL: 8 of 10 and well worth the money.

My son absolutely loves this movie about his favorite cartoon character, Scooby Doo. He will sit down and watch this movie start to finish, without missing a second. I watched it the first time, and thought it was pretty good also. He is 11, his two older siblings watch the movie as well, just not as often. They also like it quite a bit.

My kids have loved this Scooby Doo movie! They have watched it over and over!

Very likeable Scooby-Doo entry in the long line of DVD releases. Likeable characters including Bobby Flay's cat. Fast paced most of the time. I have most everything Scooby-Doo that has been released on DVD. Solid Entry.
