    • Trivia
      In Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998), Mystery Inc. were presented as adults with jobs. Daphne and Fred were television journalists on a show where she was also the hostess, Velma owned a bookstore, and Shaggy and Scooby were US Customs agents. However, the floating timeline of the direct-to-video series has retconned them from adults back to teenagers. This movie is established as taking place less than a year after Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost (2019), where they were stated to be on the verge of turning 18. This resulted in some impromptu, and often unconvincing, retcons to explain some of the scenes shown in flashback. For example, Daphne's journalism is changed to her being on a school project, which for some reason gained interest from Chris the talk show host. The bookstore and Customs bits are simply never mentioned.
    • Goofs
      Even though never shown in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998), there could have been a guest book for Mystery Inc. to have signed off-screen. Although it was a private residence, it more operated like a bed and breakfast to help Simone lure people to the island, in which case a guest book would make sense.
    • Crazy credits
      The ending credits feature "outtakes" from the movie-within-the-movie, accompanied by Elvira commentary.

    Disappointed
    So disappointed. I wasn't expecting much though to be honest. 'Scooby Doo on Zombie Island' and the few films that followed it - 'Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost', 'Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders' - were actually GOOD. But 'Zombie Island' was far and away the best. They updated the whole Scooby Gang, filled them out a bit, gave them something a little more three dimensional to work with, modern clothes, careers etc. But best of all, was the writing - it was solid, and entertaining and even as a grown up person, I still enjoy watching those movies. So then they go and do THIS. I'm being very generous giving this a 5. It is a typical, cheap, slap up sequel that distorts the original story, has no continuity - it is just plain old lazy. The animation is cheap and tired, the gang are back in their frankly ancient garb again. This is a vastly inferior offering.

    Look, Scooby Doo is part of my life, it's like comfort food. I am a fully grown up person now, bordering on middle age. I have small children, and I would follow Scooby and Shaggy off a cliff. Their enormous sandwiches make me laugh every.darn.time even though the gag is so over used. But honestly, don't tarnish a timeless classic by churning out these cheap, poorly written, tired old straight to DVD jaunts that bank on people watching them simply because we love Scooby Doo. Take a good, hard look at the original zombie island film and take notes - THAT is how you keep a franchise like this going. Please, please, no more cheap, badly written, badly animated sequels.
