Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Scooby-Doo
SCOOBY-DOO is a movie directed by Raja Gosnell in 2002. Based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters.

The Mystery Inc. gang receives an invitation to Spooky Island from its owner Rowan Atkinson. They will try to understand why people leave the resort brain-washed. They will eventually save the world by discovering the intentions of a very mean tyrant.

Bad, bad, bad.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
