    Why the hate?
    I saw this film as a child, haven't seen it since, but I remember I liked it a lot and found it very enjoyable. I liked the unique and new origin and backstory given to Scooby Doo's gang. I would have given it higher if I hadn't seen some of the other movies I'd be rating it the same as, in fact think I originally had this as 7 and would have scored it that when I saw it. Was embaressed to rate a low scoring film too high lol. But no this was a childrens film played out for entertainment and laughs, per all Scooby Doo films and shows, and that's exactly what I got fromt it. Don't understand why it is held as such a bad scooby doo film, in my books it's one of the good ones. Glad to see the company of a sequel as I enjoyed this ofigin beginner. All round decent children's TV movie. Fun Scooby Doo film, recommend for children and families!
