Inspired by Hanna-Barbera's popular cartoon series, which premiered in 1969, Scooby-Doo stars in his second full-length film (made in 1988). Shaggy has accepted a job as a gym teacher at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls, a gothic girls' school that instructs the daughters of frightfully famous monsters such as Dracula, Werewolf, Mummy, and Frankenstein. Once Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy get over their spooky welcome, they settle into academic and athletic routines (like scarobic exercises) and enjoy an other-worldly relationship with the delightful Miss Grimwood and her gals. Shaggy prepares his students for a big volleyball tournament against the boys' military academy next door, a setup for all sorts of ghoulish gimmicks. And, of course, there's Back to School Night, where the girls' parents attend an enjoyable Who's Who event of monstrous proportions. Meanwhile, amid all the happy hauntings, Revolta, the Witch of the Web, is scheming to be "the most feared name in the monster world" and to make the girls' school "part of her evil team forever." In a final showdown, it takes a joint effort of the boys and girls to defeat the evil Revolta and her spider-bat flunkies. This predictable modern-day cartoon is a disappointing departure from Scooby's classic 1970s episodes, those campy detective romps full of lunacy and quirky humor and sprinkled with slapstick suspense. Scooby-Doo fans will also miss his wacky cohorts Freddy, Daphne, and Velma, as well as their invincible Mystery Machine. At least the original voices remain the same, namely Don Messick as Scooby and Casey Kasem as Shaggy. (Ages 5 to 10) --Lynn Gibson

Don't waste your money.......2007-04-16

My kids are huge Scooby Doo fans. We own about 20 Scooby DVD's and this one is BY FAR the worst! Even my daughter thought it was awful and she never criticizes anything Scooby Doo.

This movie is not your typical "Mystery Inc solves another mystery" movie. Only Scooby and Shaggy are in this one, and they are really more like the supporting cast. The main characters are the annoying teachers and students of the Ghoul School.

Don't waste your time or money on this one. It's not worth it.

Truly Awful .......2006-11-23

The worst Scooby movie we own, and we have almost all of them! Talk about overly loooong and boring. No Velma, Fred and Daphne. Scrappy Doo (UGH!!) Stupid story line and filled with boring scenes that do nothing to tell the story, they're just fillers. Go buy Alien Invaders, Legend of the Vampire Rock, Zombie Island, Aloha Scooby, Where's My Mummy, or Monster of Mexico. We can watch them 100 times and they're still entertaining. Anything but this!!!

I love this one!.......2006-11-08

I prefer this over the old 1970s Scooby Doo Mysteries! In this one the monsters are real and it's actually as silly as the Adams Family but silly in a good way! It's old school cartoons at their finest! The newer scooby doo series seems rather dull even with it's better animation!

Very cute movie, great for kids-that's who it's for-right?!?.......2006-07-29

I have to agree with many of the other reviews in that, I missed the rest of the gang and I am not a big fan of Scrappy Doo. That said however, this movie is extremely cute and entertaining. My 3 year old daughter loves it. It does get a bit repetitive with 'suttle' jokes, but other than that, it is a very good movie. Not like their typical Scooby flicks, and that is why it is neat to see something different. Better than Zombie Island-that is awful for children. They crossed a fine line in that one!

another miss fire at the scooby series,andPLEASE get rid of that brat scrappy doo.......2006-05-27

first and formost let me say this,SCRAPPY-DOO IS THE WORST CREATION THAT HAS EVER BEEN PUT IN A CARTOON. I BLAME HIM FOR THE DEATH OF THE SATURDAY MORINING CARTOONS!!!!
not part of the real scobby this is yet another cheap rip-off that only has shaggy,scooby,and that brat scrappy teaching at a school for monsters????(the scooby we all know would never even get close to this one. THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!
