Season 2 was a pretty solid season for 'What's New Scooby Doo', where even the weakest episode "Homeward Hound" ("A Large Dragon at Large" wasn't too far behind though) was decent. The season also had some truly great episodes such as "Mummy Scares Best", "The San Franpsycho" and "Simple Plan and the Invisible Madman". Not a bad episode in the season, and actually that is true of 'What's New Scooby Doo', a show that has grown on me, in general.
"It's All Greek to Scooby" is a very good episode, not one of the best Season 2 or 'What's New Scooby Doo' episodes but also not one of the worst on either count. Of all the few episodes of Scooby Doo set in Greece, others being 'Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo's' "Lock the Door it's a Minotaur" and 'The New Scooby Doo Mysteries' "The Stoney Glare Stare", "It's All Greek to Scooby" is among the better ones and certainly better than those two. The mystery isn't the best, but the setting, humour and the different villain makes up for it.
Absolutely loved the exotic Greek setting, which is portrayed in an equally exotic way without resorting to cultural stereotyping. Also loved the humour, which was goofy in an endearing way but never feels forced or cheesy. Always love it when there is a phrase book is involved and mispronunciations and wrong phrases abound, can so relate to that (can't count the number of times someone has been at the receiving end of my language mistakes and miscomprehensions while abroad).
Did like the villain and it was interesting to have a type of villain not seen before and a type of character usually associated with being good. Do find minotaurs a good deal creepier though if to be honest, or even Medusas. The animation is colourful and richly detailed, apart from some odd animation in the maze scene, and the music is infectious while never feeling out of place. A lot of energy can be seen here and the final trap is quite genius, nice Greek mythology touches here.
Did though find the mystery a bit on the ehh side, entertaining enough but fairly flimsy until picking up the pace in the more adventure-oriented final third and a little predictable at the end. As aforementioned the animation in the maze scene is pretty odd in my personal view and like that scene was made somewhere else at a lower production price and with a tighter deadline.
On the whole, very well done and the best of the Greece-set episodes of the franchise. Even if not a Scooby Doo classic. 8/10.
