    • Trivia
      The film was released on September 13, 2009, the 40th anniversary of the premiere of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! (1969).
    • Goofs
      When the teens are serving their detention in the library and the weather storm begins, at one point Velma says "unusual 'climactic' anomaly" referring to the impending weather storm. In fact Velma should have said "unusual 'climatic' anomaly. Her use of the adjective is in error as "climactic" refers to the word "climax" whereas "climatic" would be the adjective to use when referring to "climate."

    Not so good

    Casting not perfect but still good for the adaptation of the saga of mysteries that wants to tell the first adventure of the group by bringing the story of how the group came together for the first time to solve the mystery of their school. Too family-friendly and slightly too ridiculous film that seems to have crossed the line between faithful adaptation and too ridiculous to seriously consider. Even the story itself is not that great because it is too hasty, for heaven's sake, the idea is not bad but it is developed in a very fractious and poorly cared for way so much that it is unable to make the general idea that the adaptation would like to give well .
