DVD Scooby-Doo Meets The Harlem Globetrotters
Timeless, captivating fun for children and fine nostalgic nonsense for adults, the Harlem Globetrotters episodes from the Scooby-Doo canon border on goofy anarchy. During the four-year run of The New Scooby-Doo Movies on 1970s television, the Mystery, Inc. gang of Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and the preternaturally skillful canine hero Scooby-Doo hooked up with cartoon versions of many real-life celebrities (who provided their own voices).
The Harlem Globetrotters, a traveling comedy act showcasing basketball tricks and unsportsmanlike high jinks, had a core team of well-known performers, led by Meadowlark Lemon, who were naturally funny partners in Scooby's ghostbusting investigations. This disc contains two of the three HG programs, "The Mystery of Haunted Island" and "The Loch Ness Mess," the former a somewhat creaky, run-of-the-mill Scooby haunting, while the latter features a more interesting conspiracy for Shaggy and the others to crack. --Tom Keogh
Review(s): DVD Scooby-Doo Meets The Harlem Globetrotters
Well, it's not the greatest Scooby Doo ever.
Scooby Doo was still in it's early phases back when these 2 hour long episodes were made. So expect it to be very 70's and yet without the charm of the 1969 series. The New Scooby Doo Show at the time had 40 minutes of animation and 20 minutes commercials. This gave the writers a chance to have a bigger story and more mysteries and clues. The Harlem Globetrotters (who?) showed up some of these episodes and this DVD features 2 of them.
Unfortunately too much time is devoted to them being rather unfunny than any plot development. And why oh why are they not a natural brown color? Instead the Globetrotters are an un-nervingly vague Michael Jackson greyish color. Either the animation is very old and sun-bleached or that was just bad coloring.
The DVD is in 1.33:1 full frame, as originally broadcast with Dolby Mono sound. Some slight extras are included.
Scooby Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters DVD
My daughter loves Scooby Doo, just like her mom did. I was surprised to see two movies with the Globetrotters because I remember only one. If you love Scooby Doo, this is a good one to buy. I have watched Scooby for years and cannot remember ever seeing the lock ness globetrotter movie, a real bonus for me and maybe for you.
Long Live Scooby Doo!
This is the Scooby Doo I remember when I was a kid, and I'm so glad my children can enjoy this movie too, and they do love it. It doesn't have flashy animation or technical plots; this is Scooby Doo as he was meant to be, original Scooby Doo! This movie has renewed my love of Scooby Doo; after watching this I remember why I loved the show when I was a kid.
You can't go wrong with this movie!

Holy jinkies, Batman, just when it seemed superheroes couldn't get any groovier, you collide with the Mystery Machine gang. Such a pairing might normally yield one wacky crime-fighting power struggle, but in these two capers egos take a back seat to classic you-check-this-out, we'll-check-that Scooby-Doo splintering. First, bat-plagued pranksters Penguin and the Joker kidnap a hopelessly tongue-tied professor in a scheme to swindle a high-tech flying suit. Then the conniving criminals return as bit players in a counterfeiting ring run out of a way-wacky funhouse. Soar along in the Batmobile or make like a banana and split with Shaggy and Scoob at these crime scenes--either way, it's a secret-passageway and scary-mask-packed combo even more compelling than the cookies-and-batmilk...

When Shaggy inherits an old Southern estate from an uncle, he and his sleuthing hounds take a road trip. But they don't even make it to the mansion before the haunting starts. Amid headless horsemen, walking skeletons, and a menacing butler, Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy get majorly spooked. The three Stooge-like ghosts they hire to help them know more about slapstick than ghostbusting and, to make matters worse, neighbor Sadie Mae has the hots for Shaggy while her gun-toting brother Billy Bob is hot to eliminate him. The local sheriff is no help--although an escaped gorilla is--and the jewels that Scrappy uncovers keep disappearing. This new 91-minute movie fuses together episodes from 1983 of the long-running cartoon, which features Casey "Mr. Countdown" Kasem doing the...

Inspired by Hanna-Barbera's popular cartoon series, which premiered in 1969, Scooby-Doo stars in his second full-length film (made in 1988). Shaggy has accepted a job as a gym teacher at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls, a gothic girls' school that instructs the daughters of frightfully famous monsters such as Dracula, Werewolf, Mummy, and Frankenstein. Once Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy get over their spooky welcome, they settle into academic and athletic routines (like scarobic exercises) and enjoy an other-worldly relationship with the delightful Miss Grimwood and her gals. Shaggy prepares his students for a big volleyball tournament against the boys' military academy next door, a setup for all sorts of ghoulish gimmicks. And, of course, there's Back to School Night, where the... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Charles A. Nichols DVD Release Date: Released the 04 June 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours

Sooner or later, the Mystery, Inc. gang had to take on Mexico's legendary Bigfoot equivalent, El Chupacabra, and that's precisely what they do in this entertaining, feature-length, Scooby-style investigation into the paranormal. Taking the Mystery Van south of the border, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo celebrate Day of the Dead festivities, which become less festive when a towering, glowering Chupacabra monster turns up to terrify both tourists and locals. The young snoops smell a conspiracy, and as they chase down clues their search for the truth leads them into sundry Mexican antiquities--ancient tombs and temples--where danger increases exponentially. There are the usual rituals: Our time-warped heroes run like the wind during encounters with alleged ghouls--particularly...
