Scooby Doo Meets The Brothers is certainly not Scooby's best, neither is it his worst. It is very entertaining, and I do think it is an improvement over Ghoul School, and this is coming from a biased Scooby Doo fan. In Boo Brothers the animation is quite good, though there is nothing particularly special visually. The characters are in general well animated, and there are some nice dark colours. I liked most of the jokes, anything Shaggy says does crack me up, and the voice cast are fine with what they have- I love Don Messick as Scooby I do miss him, but Casey Kasem never fails to bring a smile to my face. While I usually find Scrappy a little irritating, I didn't mind him as much here, sometimes his Puppy Power catchphrase wears thin, but somehow he seemed more serious here than usual. I will say I loved the Boo Brothers, I especially loved the part when Shrieko plays Chopin's Revolutionary on the piano and gets whammed into the ceiling. If anything, the Boo Brothers could have had more screen time, as there was a long time when nothing particular of interest happened before they appeared. In fact, the only characters I didn't like were Billy Bob and his sister, I just didn't feel they served any real purpose to the plot, and the villain was a little obvious at times. Speaking of the plot, it was very interesting about a deceased relative, a family fortune and someone wanting to steal it. The music was good too. While kids will enjoy it at best, adults may find the beginning a little slow, and not as entertaining as the TV show, which is a childhood favourite of mine. Overall, entertaining, but not the best our favourite canine has to offer. 6.5/10 Bethany Cox.

Above average old school Scooby Adventure
CuriosityKilledShawn18 May 2004
This entry suffers from the presence of Scrappy. It was made in the mid-eighties when Scrappy was at the height (!) of his fame (?). He doesn't do much in this so it's not that bad. The story is about Shaggy (minus the rest of Mystery Inc.) being left a spooky mansion house in his uncles will. Conveniently said mansion is in the middle of a creepy swampland in the Deep South. The kind of place where there are always eyes watching from the trees.
As soon as he arrives, Shaggy has to deal with an annoying southern stereotype sheriff, a weirdo butler who wants to get his hands on the old uncle's hidden treasure, hickabilly neighbors and the ghost of his uncle telling to leave (then why did he give him the house?). There is also an escaped ape on the loose but even though only Scooby sees him (Shaggy doesn't believe it) he's just a big, cuddly monkey who wants to play.
The Boo Brothers are basically ghost versions of the Three Stooges. They're listed in the phone book as being experts in the busting of ghosts. This isn't a job they do well though, so Shaggy's payment at the end is a bit too generous.
There are some laughs to be had and the plot is mildly interesting but too many running jokes are just plain bad. The hillbilly neighbor joke becomes very boring and could have been done without. The animation is a bit dated, though it has enough modern touches (lens flares in car lights) to distract you from it. And I like the dark, decaying atmosphere of the swampland. The color pallet is mostly made up of dark blues and purples (the story takes place all in one night) and the backgrounds are not as generic as the earlier, cheaper TV shows.
For the average fan this is a worthy effort though I would just catch it on the Cartoon Network instead of forking over the cash, unless you're a Scooby completist.
The DVD is in 1.33:1 full frame, as drawn, with a Dolby Mono soundtrack that is unsophisticated but workable. The Region 2 release comes in a sturdy Keep Case but the Region 1 is still in a cruddy snapper. Extras are minimal childish fluff.

An Honest Review
generationofswine1 April 2017
For some reason I have really fond memories of this and...totally blocked Scrappy out of them.
Again, like Ghoul School and the Reluctant Werewolf, this is when they scaled back on the Puppy Power and made Scrappy somewhat less annoying.
It's not all bad.
As a child the main source of humor came from how obvious the exterminators were...and as an adult the main source of humor comes from, well, it comes from how obvious the exterminators are.
Imagine yourself in a collegian recreational state of mind watching a kids cartoon and screaming at the TV because the characters are missing what is blatantly obvious.
It's kinda sorta just like that...but in a fun way...because with the odd exception, Scooby Doo is still fun.

I don't know why people don't like this! It's one of the three bareable Scooby-Specials!
The plot is; Shaggy inherits a mansion from his late Uncle Beauregard (No last name given!), but when he, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo arrive the place turns out to be haunted. Shaggy also learns he's inherited a treasure hidden somewhere on the estate, but with guns, ghosts and gooney girls on his tail, it might be hard for him to even survive, much less find the treasure!
Good points: Scrappy-Doo. I'm sorry, he just plain wasn't annoying! He was smart, deductful and spunky. Sure, he's usually the most hated person ever on Scooby-Doo, but I liked him in this! It's about Shaggy! This guy usually gets just second billing, and half the merchandise as his canine companion. It's good to see him in the spotlight for once. Clever and funny. The Boo Brother were hilarious!
Bad points: Villain was too predictable. I got it almost immediately. Plot holes. Many many plot holes. Some of the funny jokes were overplayed (i.e; The scene where Shaggy convinces himself nothing's out to get him, but the viewers see that Billy and his sister are following close behind him.). If that had just ended sooner, it wouldn't have turned annoying. Basic bloopers (i.e; The sherrif saying 'push the button' on the mech-horse, when it was a lever.). Also, the paint messed up at times.
Overall, I liked this movie!

Mightyzebra8 April 2008
This is very much a very spoofy, rather badly made, and rather "bloopery" film. However, I really like it! It is probably my favourite "Scooby Doo". Things I like about it are the brilliant and entertaining Scrappy, the riddles and, of course, the Boo Brothers - who along with Scrappy, practically make the film. Scooby and Shaggy are pretty usual and their jokes are surprisingly mediocre compared with some other Scooby Doo films. Usually Scooby and Shaggy are the Comic Reliefs, but Shaggy is pretty much the serious hero of the film. Scooby does supply jokes, but these do not add to the film very much.
Here is the basic plot: Shaggy, Scrappy and Scooby are going to Shaggy's deceased uncle's plantation, as Shaggy is inheriting it. It turns out that the huge house has a number of creepy ghosts and a rather scary butler. Shaggy hears of the "family jewels" and, due to Scrappy's enthusiasm, they go looking for them. The group soon find a jewel - and a riddle clue to the next jewels! They go on some sort of treasure hunt to find the family jewels. Alongside are the entertaining Boo Brothers and some other side characters who do not make the hunt easy...
I recommend this film to people who enjoy crazy cartoon films - and particularly for people who like Scrappy. If you do not like Scrappy then you should not watch this film, as he has quite a big role. Also, this film is mainly for people around the age of 7-15. Enjoy "Scooby- Doo Meets the Boo Brothers"! :-)
7 and a half out of ten.

Warning: Spoilers
A feature length spin-off from the classic cartoon series, in which Shaggy discovers that his uncle Colonel Beauregard has died and left him his country estate, which is apparently frequented by ghosts. Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy head for the estate in order to claim Shaggy's inheritance. However, on their arrival they are pursued by a headless horseman and by the alleged ghost of the Colonel who taunts them telling to leave or else. Meanwhile, they meet the creepy manservant Farquard who tells them that a vast fortune in jewels is hidden somewhere on the estate and that its rightfully his and that Shaggy has no business there. Intrigued, the gang decide to hunt down the jewels much to Farquard's chagrin and the local Sheriff who is on the trail of an escaped circus ape is skeptical about the jewels' existence. They follow the trail through a number of clues that the Colonel has hidden for them, but their progress is interrupted by a number of ghostly apparitions that include living skeletons, headless corpses and the ghostly Colonel. In order to exorcise the ghosts they call upon the "Boo Brothers", three bumbling ghost hunters who have a novelty - they're ghosts themselves! Is Beauregard Manor really haunted or are the ghosts created by someone who is out to get the treasure for themselves? There are plenty of suspects including Farquard and the late Colonel's neighbour Billy Bob whose family has been rivaling with the Beauregard family for generations.
SCOOBY DOO MEETS THE BOO BROTHERS is an excellent extension of the classic cartoon series. The animation is up to standard and Shaggy and Scooby are as lovable and as cowardly as ever. Shaggy is quick to say yikes whenever something supernatural happens and Scooby leaps for cover under Shaggy's t-shirt. As ever, Scrappy the smallest of the two dogs is always full of courage and can't wait to knock the ghosts for six. The film also pulls every hokey haunted house thriller cliché in the book including the moving eyes in the Colonel's self-portrait in the drawing room and bookcases crammed with dusty old hardback books open to reveal secret passages and creepy attics. The premise may be childish as one would expect of a kids TV programme, but this is more distinguished in that it manages to lay down a genuine creepy atmosphere, which manages to compete with the more adult ghost stories through its dark animation and mood music. Kids will get plenty of laughs as well as a few mild scares and adults will probably have a blast too!

One of the more tolerable Scrappy-Doo outings and a solidly entertaining Scooby-Doo adventure.
IonicBreezeMachine14 October 2020
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers follows Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy Doo as they visit a dilapidated mansion in the deep south that Shaggy has just inherited. The gang finds themselves stranded at the mansion and become involved in a hunt for hidden treasure, a clan of vengeful hillbillies, a creepy hunchbacked butler, and a trio of ghost hunting ghosts throughout the course of the night.
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers is the 2nd of the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10, a series of 10 animated TV movies made by Hanna-Barbera between 1987 and 1988 that were made for syndication and based on established Hanna-Barbera properties. Despite being one of the incarnations of the Scooby-Doo property where Fred, Daphne, and Velma are gone and the adventure is built around Shaggy, Scrappy and Scooby, the movie is actually a fun treasure hunt story with some fun atmosphere and chuckle worthy humor. Scrappy is surprisingly dialed back and made less overly manic and hyperactive in this movie which was for the best in my opinion and makes him less grating and actually somewhat endearing in certain scenes. The treasure hunt the gang finds themselves involved with is fairly entertaining consisting of a series of pun based riddles that the gang needs to decipher to find the next clue.
Scooby-Doo is also notable for it's addition of "real" supernatural elements as opposed to the usual hoaxes the gang investigates (though the formula is still touched upon here), in this case the gang hires a trio of ghost hunters who are themselves ghosts. The ghost hunters are the titular Boo Brothers, Freako, Shreako, and Meako and their antics are more than a little reminiscent of the antics of The Three Stooges. The Boo Brothers despite being somewhat of an extraneous element to the plot manage to be entertaining thanks to some creative animation as well as some well timed and executed slapstick sequences.
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers isn't the best Scooby-Doo property, but it is a fun treasure hunt movie in its own right. Despite straying from the established formula by building itself around only Shaggy, Scrappy, and Scooby, the movie dials back Scrappy's personality to make him less grating and makes for a decent viewing experience. The movie also has some impressive animation on display, particularly with the titular Boo Brothers who despite not being strictly necessary in the movie do yield some respectable moments of humor.

Atmosphere is very well done in this Cartoon!
jeviggiano29 July 2022
The atmosphere in this film is amazing and pure original Scooby Doo that just doesn't exist anymore. Something about the colors and backgrounds just feels like Halloween. Based on the themeing and atmosphere alone the film is a lot of fun and an extremely immersive setting!
Okay
breehillxo22 May 2022
I've watched this movie dozens of times but my most recent watch felt like the first time I'd really sat and paid attention. Anything Scooby Doo is nostalgic and comfort for me and I think that caused me to just breeze through this movie without giving it much thought.
I will say I tried rewatching Ghoul School recently with my 6 year old who is a huge Scooby Doo fan and we were both so bored-which you don't experience with Boo Brothers so there's that.
On this recent watch I realized while the plot for this one was fun-it's a pretty frustrating film to watch. In regular Scooby Doo where we have the whole gang-Shaggy and Scooby being terrified of everything is compensated by Velma's brains and Fred being innovative (sorry Daphne! We love you but I can't think right now of one for you!) In Boo Brothers Scrappy Doo's character is used as a fill in for missing Fred and Velma and while sweet and a smart move...it just really made Shaggy and Scooby appear silly in the worst possible way. It's sad to say but those two really need adult supervision😂 Sadly, I can see now why the rest of the gang needs to be part for the film to be strong. The movie just didn't land well without them.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and I still love it now. It is hilarious, fun and the best cartoon movie of all time. Our three heroes, the Three-Stooges-esqe Boo Brothers and the rest of the cartoon cast adds to the fun. A must see for everyone!
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers review
corbinogea1 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's not a great movie... I love Shaggys red shirt.
It's pretty long and boring, it basically revoles around Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, the Boo Brothers, and the creepy butler. There's this weird girl and her brother who hates Shaggy because he's a boregarde, and the girl loves Shaggy for some reason. The Boo Brothers are SO ANNOYING, and they suck at being ghost hunters even though there ghost themselves but other than that it's pretty weird and not that great but it's great to watch for nostalgia. I don't know what to you can stream it on but I'm sure you can find on something, or just buy a vhs tape or a DVD to watch it on.

Not Bad
daniel-haley10 August 2004
Considering the old graphics and Scrappy the movie was great! It was enjoyable but had the feeling that Scrappy was determined to find the treasure more than Shaggy and is the one who always seems to think he knows everything! Also I have never heard Shaggy drop food out of the picture to look for jewels as when they are looking for a particular clue Shaggy said to Scoob that 'Come on Scooby there's no time for food we got to look for the next clue' I mean that is so un Shaggy like if you know what I mean! Also Billy Bob's accent and appearance can be really annoying at times! Other than that its a classic and the Boo Brothers really made there title although they were nothing but a pair of wimps who like to take jokes too seriously! Also there can be too many things going on and can get a bit repetitive! A crazy circus ape who seems to be obsessed with Scooby, A goony girl who seems to be obsessed with Shaggy! A butler that reminds of Minime when on drugs! A crazy, cowboy who just shots as soon as they are outside! A Skull Ghost of many appearances! And a REAL ghost of Shaggy's Uncle, I mean talk about the cavalry! Anyway although many annoying bits its a classic Scooby film and I must suggest watching it
This and Zombie Island
hampusjo26 December 2021
I grew up Watching this and Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Both of them are nostalgia trips for me and i love em both. Recommended for anyone, both kids and adults. Even though it does have Scrappy-Doo in it he's actually not that bad, even enjoyable.
It's a Classic!
lllnc213 August 2022
This was the first Scooby Doo film and, even without the rest of the Where Are You? Gang, one of Scooby's (and Shaggy's!) most memorable outings. The animation work is darkly beautiful in a cartoon twilight sense, the humor is snappy and timeless, all of the voice actors are clearly having fun and displaying their vast range of talent, and there is one small scene with a breakdancing ghost that almost feels too hilarious and surreal for 1987. It's a classic and could singlehandedly change any Scrappy-hater's mind.
the worst of the Scooby Doo movies i have seen so far
disdressed1227 July 2007
for me,this is probably the worst Scooby Doo animated movie i have seen.i found it boring and not that funny compared to other Scooby adventures.the i didn't think the story was very good either.there seemed to be a lot more repetition than in other Scooby movies.there are also a few elements missing from this particular movie(that i most Scooby Do movies) and one element that was nothing other than annoying and i really could have done without.those elements are that only Shag and Scoob are in this movie.the rest of Mystery,INC are absent.the element i could have done without is the inclusion of Scrappy Doo,which to me is a pointless character.i had to struggle not turn this movie off before the end.this is the exception with Scooby Doo movies,so far in my experience.for me "Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers" is a 4/10
Extremely entertaining
Scott-2739 March 1999
Just a tad too silly and out there, even for Scooby-Doo...
paul_haakonsen3 May 2017
"Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers" is definitely scarred by it being an older animated movie in the Scooby-Doo franchise. As such, then it is hardly anywhere nearly as enjoyable as the movies that the Mystery Gang has been venturing through over the past many more recent years.
Sure, the animation style and art style is right for the Scooby-Doo franchise, and it does have sort of a retro feel to it. That does certainly have a lot of charm, but it can only carry the movie so far. It was the overly silly storyline that was the deal breaker for me, because it strayed quite far from the usual Scooby-Doo stories, that it was just downright ridiculous at times.
But "Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers" has everything you would expect from a Mystery Gang adventure; which includes the entire gang, colorful characters, spookies, and so forth.
I just wasn't overly impressed with this 1987 animated movie, and found myself struggling to keep my interest and focus on the screen. This is one of the weakest additions to the Scooby-Doo franchise in my opinion, and as such I am rating it a mere 3 out of 10 stars.

The basic plot: Scooby and the Gang get mixed up in a ghoulish, ghostly old house mystery .
The praise: Fun showcase for the Scooby shtick. It's watchable, entertaining, diverting, and ghoulish. Suspenseful. Slightly silly romp, it'll appeal to young children . Nothing great, but I liked it when I was little.

I LOVE THIS SCOOBY DOO MOVIE. Scooby Doo meets the Boo Brothers is one of the best Scooby Doo movies out there and is done in classic animation like it used to be before it when to CGI (2000's). I love this kind of animation it's something that should be shown on TV more often and is one of the most funniest Scooby Doo mystery's of all time (if you haven't watched it, you should). One of my favourite characters has to be the Boo Brothers (of course), they always make you laugh and they all have different personality's which makes it work. One of my favourite scenes has to be when Shaggy is walking along and he doesn't notice that behind their are two people fighting over each to get to him. If you like classic animation or if you just like Scooby Doo then this is the movie for you hands down :).
Noobs get lost and watch the new trash.... I mean its that simple
MrMovieReviewer30 March 2020
Okay I'm over the noobs whining about the 80s animation and it not being like today's... Who cares
These old school eps and movies are and always will be better then the new trash you idiots have been raised on.....That simple....
Now as for this it's classic Scooby the look the music the voice acting will have any old school fan shedding a tear It's funny it's great I love it I watch it and find it sad to think how crap the franchise has become since 2000 onwards
But enough about the new trash this is about the boo brothers this classic movie
It's an absolute must for all Scooby fans except noobs who will spend the entire time bi*ching about the animation
It's basically like this Shaggy is left a mansion by his uncle and it's reportedly haunted by everything from a skeleton a headless horseman a ghost gorilla throw in a creepy butler and a lost treasure and you have a fantastic movie for all ages

So, Shaggy finds out he has inherited his Uncle Beauregard's estate and when he, Scooby and the incredibly awful Scrappy show up, mayhem ensues. First, the Boo Brothers are a total rip offs of the Three Stooges, only it is an awful parody and completely useless with regard to the plot. Not there is a plot. Sadie Mae Scroggins and her brother that live next door are completely useless, as well. The only reason I think they are in the movie is so they can SHOOT GUNS at Shaggy. Yes, I said shoot guns! The Scooby Doo show was made because people didn't like the violence on TV. What a screaming shame! If I could give this zero stars, I would! Run, don't walk away from this movie.
Nobody here but us Hams!

What's not to like? Any ham can have fun with this Scooby Doo classic! Ghosts, a haunted mansion, hillbillies, a wacky southern sheriff, an ape and a goofy butler. I loved this as a kid and nothing has changed. Full of laughs with the Boo Brothers, and a nice basic plot that keeps everyone entertained.
Happy Halloween
