The first must-see film of the year.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I will not pretend that Scooby Doo, Where are You! is high art, or the greatest animated series ever; however, there is a reason this is a classic and so fondly remembered. This hits so many strong points, from the eerie music, the oppressive yet whimsical tone, and the creepy and sometimes scary villains. Perhaps the most daring has to be the choice of such a dark color scheme(especially for 1969.) All this contributes to the wonderful mood that permeates Scooby Doo. It is a shame that many future Scooby Doo series could not equal the magic that was there in 1969, because they got so much right. The first season is by far the best, but do not knock the second, both are great.The Gang(Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, Fred, and of course Scooby Doo) travel around in their van(The Mystery Machine) and investigate seemingly supernatural events. This allows each episode to have it's own spooky locale with a wacky spin on the horror genre. Primarily Shaggy and Scooby Doo are the main focus of the show, acting as comic relief to the goings on. Lastly by encouraging critical thinking, having rational explanations, and showing them confronting their fears teaches good lessons to children, who are the target audience. Not that adults can't absolutely love this show, as the superb mix of comedy, mystery, horror, and atmosphere all make this a great cartoon for all ages!If you liked this show and wanted more Scooby shows, I recommend, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, What's New, Scooby-Doo?, and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. They are all a little different, but are about as good if not better.

I still watch it from time to time. If you're only going to buy one DVD, the one pictured for this (Original Mysteries) is the one to get. This is a cartoon that has stood the test of time. Values such as perseverance, friendship, honesty, and problem-solving are introduced to young viewers. Also, for a cartoon the voice actors do a very good job with their lines. This probably could have been an audio-only radio show. The animation is very simplistic, but adds to the overall effect and allowed Hanna Barbera to release so many episodes on time. The soundtrack is done moderately well and adds to the mood, though never gets in the way of the characters or plot. You'll find that you'll hear the same clips of music repeated throughout the series and even some of the music creeps all the way into season three. Overall, great show and worth a watch for sure.

Scooby-Dooby Doo. Everyone loves you! Your show is cool and awesome. Hello and welcome to "Matthew Praises". Ever since I was little, I loved this show! Honestly, I do. The first episode I saw was "Jeepers! Here comes the Creeper." At first, I was scared when I saw it, but Scooby and Shaggy's wild antics kept me in good spirits. Especially the song that played when they chase the villain because it sounded like something straight out of the 1910 Fruitgum Company. I like it how there is a problem, and that they solve it with clues and set a trap for the villain (and sometimes it comically backfires). The ending is funny. My favorite lines are: "Split up and search for clues." "Jinkies!" "Zoiks!" and "Ruh-Roh!" When I first heard Scooby's voice, I was strongly convinced that dogs sound like that, as Donald Duck was to ducks or Donkey Kong (from Saturday SUPERCADE), was to gorillas. This show spawned a lot of imitations (e.g. CLUE CLUB or FANGFACE). Don't get me started on Scrappy-Doo or the dreaded MUPPET BABIES cash-in-attempt, A PUP NAMED SCOOBY-DOO. Anyway, I enjoy it. So I highly recommend it. It is rated TV-G, so it is fun for the entire family, but the danger sign in this cartoon are the scary images of the ghosts and monstrous villains that might scare the little kiddies. Bottom line: Fun and exciting in 1969, fun and exciting today.
