Aloha, Scooby-Doo Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES PLOT SUMMARY
Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and the Mystery Inc. gang hit the bodacious beaches of Hawaii for the Big Kahuna of Hanahuna Surfing Contest—only to discover there's a terribly real monster about to show all the true meaning of wipeout! The locals are convinced that island spirits are furious over a new resort being built on sacred ground and when an army of tiny demons attacks the surfers, the ancient properties appear to be true. Could this be the first mystery that Daphne finally can't figure out before trouble—in the form of a huge volcano—erupts?

funny flick
posted on 04 Sep 2008This was humorous, entertaining, and refreshingly new in its Scooby tradition. The names are interesting, the mystery keeps you going, and the only complaint I had was that it was relatively easy to figure out.There were a lot of elements to the story and it is well drawn. It is a good pick if you like the newer stories, and the voices are well done as well as the graphics and sound. The kids and I laughed over the names, "Tikki Hikki Wikki" and had a great time with this one! Like many other scooby stories, it was sort of educational for the kids on old mythology as well.We recommend this one!
I liked this a lot!
posted on 20 Apr 2006Since Warners revamped the Scooby-Doo franchise in 1998, feature length mysteries have been inconsistent. The first few had real monsters, with no rubber masks, but far too many disgustingly PC mommies in America complained and the Brothers Warner folded and went back to the "guy in a suit to scare away the locals" stories. A shame.What a surprise then that Scooby's latest adventure is actually quite good, despite its PC shortcomings. This time around the Mystery Inc. gang are in Hawaii, catching some rays and relaxation. Typically, this is the exact moment the local volcano starts brewing over and a big monster called the Wiki-Tiki rears its ugly head, scaring away all of the surfers from the Hunahana resort and kidnapping a local babe. If you are incredibly sad, like me, you will realise this is too much like the 1970 episode, A Tiki Scare Is No Fair.The usual long list of suspects includes a sleazy real estate agent, an ambitious mayor and an eccentric holiday rep (Adam West). And just as soon as their mystery-solving begins, the real culprit is immediately noticeable. It's a poorly written whodunit, but what saves it are crazy set pieces and a varied atmosphere, which keep the mystery interesting, if obvious. Or, at least, obvious to a 24-year-old. It may well come as a surprise to an eight-year-old.Locations, such as the beach, the deep jungle, the catacombs and Auntie Mahina's cabin, are beautifully animated. The best thing about the modern Scooby is that production values are a zillion times what the original 1969 series was. Aloha, Scooby-Doo looks incredibly slick and the eye-popping colour schemes would keep you interested no matter how poor the mystery was.One could accuse the film of being slightly xenophobic and somewhat stereotypical in regards to its Hawaiian setting. But it's no worse than the unrealistic Scotland seen in last year's Scooby-Doo And The Loch Ness Monster.I was also surprised at how little of it actually relies on Scooby (voiced by Frank Welker, who also does Fred). He barely gets a chance to do his thang. Most of the laughs come from the rest of the gang. But, as it is, Aloha, Scooby-Doo is still loads of fun and proves that while the story quality of modern Scoobys remains inconsistent, the animation just gets better and better.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
posted on 21 Dec 2005I wasn't expecting much since I disliked the Mexico story and the lame vampire, Loch Ness was better but no Zombie Island. This is a change. Taking the viewer and the gang to a completely different venue. By no means, a great addition to the Scooby-Doo legend but certainly a few steps above that new TV show, What's New Scooby-Doo.The set-up of the volcano and the pigmyes was a tad over the top but "Hey" it's a cartoon. It kept me guessing. I was pleased to hear Teri Garr's voice. I know she has MS and this can't possibly bring her much money but just knowing that she's fighting the fight (and with my favorite cartoon character) makes me very happy. She's wonderful.Adam West, as the sham artist -- that was funny. That was so perfect. Nice to have Frank and Casey back. And who doesn't love Mindy Cohen.Rent it
Not at all bad.
posted on 26 Sep 2005If I had to use a phrase to sum up this movie, I would have to use better than expected. Aloha Scooby Doo was not at all bad, flawed yes, but entertaining. The animation I thought was beautiful, with wonderful exotic backgrounds and some sinister looking ones too. I thought it was very funny, especially Shaggy, voiced by the one and only Casey Kasem, who just brings a sense of vitality to the character, and it is always a delight to see. The other voice talents are also great, Adam West even makes an appearance. The music is lovely here, quite atmospheric. The characters are very likable, and I must say the WikiKiki is quite something, in a scary sort of way. I also liked the fact that Daphne's hair actually came useful for once, to point the gang north. However, the story is fairly predictable, and sometimes unevenly paced. And I did find the character of Molly a bit annoying. Overall, not a bad movie, as a matter of fact I really did like it, and I give it an 8/10. Bethany Cox
you see one episode, you've seen them all
posted on 02 Oct 2008well, overall, this movie is the same thing we have seen so far in scooby doo's episodes so far. story: well they are chasing some wiki tiki thing and searching for some girl and basically doing everything you'd expect from a normal movie or episode. dialogue: same old thing as we are used to in this scooby doo crap. the same 8 or so characters repeating the same basic concept over and over and over and over and over and over and over. there are a few lame jokes, and a couple of witty lines at the ending of the movie and that is it. so basically, this movie is the exact same thing that we could expect from an average episode, just enlarged by about an hour. so if you actually enjoy the episodes of this show, and have a lot of time on your hands, you just might like this movie. because there is really no difference
