Featured reviews
I really enjoyed this movie. There were lots of laughs when Scooby and Shaggy got scared. Shaggy's hair would stand up and their faces would show distorted fear.
The animation was great. There was lightning and flash animation when characters would change in to monsters or back to themselves. The flashing of colors and the characters transformation is stunning.
The music was good too with the monsters singing and performing in a band. A skeleton on keyboard and more.
This is one of the better Scooby Doos. Not a lot of violence. Just a lot of running, flying on a broom and dodging goblins.
Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Frank Welker as Scooby and Freddie, Grey DeLisle, Mindy Cohn, Jay Leno, Lauren Bacall, James Belushi and more.
Well worth watching.

A part of me wants to love this. It really seems like they were trying to return to the old school Scooby Doo feel. The look was very New Scooby Doo Movies. Even the cover felt like the Scooby Doo everyone grew up with.
So, it really felt like they were throwing us old Scooby fans one massive cherry.
But then, it was really only Shaggy and Scooby and they can't carry it alone any longer, the movies are about Mystery Inc and the whole Scooby Gang and you feel robbed when they are paid that much lip service...
And then the plot never came together.
It felt too much like they were trying too hard to appeal to us old Scooby Fans and not hard enough to appeal to the people that came to love Scooby from these movies.

Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King (2008) is a movie my daughter and I recently watched together on HBOMAX. The storyline follows Shaggy and Scooby as they head into an underworld to save their friends, and believe it or not fairies, from being turned into monsters by the goblin king. They are followed by a man who wants to steal the goblin kings powers for himself to start his own rule of terror on Earth. This movie is directed by Joe Sichta (Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster) and contains the voices of Frank Welker (Transformers), Casey Kasem (Ghostbusters), Grey Griffin (Invincible), Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park), Tim Curry (It), Jay Leno (Contact), Lauren Bacall (The Big Sleep) and Jim Belushi (Red Heat). The storyline for this is a little unique for the Scooby-Doo universe but still fun to watch unfold. The animation is excellent and the writing for the characters is fun. The scenarios are very unique and unpredictable. The opening scene is awesome and the voices are well selected. Overall this isn't an animated classic but it is worth watching if you're a fan of Scooby. I'd score this a 6/10.
Striking visuals, great voice acting and a wild adventure. Very hack or hammy on the humour (more than usual) with a load of plotless nonsense, this one seems to miss the mystery I identify with Scooby Doo & the gang. The writers even had to knock out Velma for much of the movie so that she didn't try to apply any sort of reason to the goings on. Reminiscent of Tim Burton/Danny Elfman 'dead party' films at times, though lacking in a favourable soundtrack.
Zoinks! Like, ruh roh, Raggy, don't rook now, but just when you were about to ask "where are you" there's a reaky new Scooby Doo movie available on rideo. Yeah, reaky. Gulp. And in this one, the whacked out warlock isn't just a guy wearing a mask. Heh heh heh. Like, no way man, but this wunnerful creepy old time animation is completely on the mark and ten times as fun as th-th-th-the rive action Scooby Doo movies. Like,trust me, old friend, old buddy, old pal, there are even a bunch of scary moments that will make you rump off your chair. Boing! There is also a runch of musical numbers. I especially liked the one that went romething like "Woararoarawoararoarawoar." Yikes! The kids will love the Goblin King, and the adults will laugh at the inside rokes: "Oh no! Velma's fried!" or "Now that is something you just do not do to a guy's van." Why do I get the feeling this one should have been on the big screen? Way to go old Scooby Dooby movie makers. You should totally rent Scooby Dooooby Dooooo and the Goblin King: jeepers, maybe there's food inside the box.

Did you know
- TriviaTim Curry (Goblin King and Werewolf Bouncer) voiced Ben Ravencroft in Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999). He was offered the role of Emile Mondavarious in the first live action Scooby-Doo (2002), but turned it down because the movie featured Scrappy Doo, his least favorite character.
- GoofsMr. Gibbles' Genuine Magic Shoppe is missing an apostrophe on its sign. However, this may be an in-universe attempt to make the sign seem like it is written in "Olde English," as possessive apostrophes are a fairly recent invention. They first became popular in the 18th century, and the rules have changed many times.
