Amazon.com: 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 girls' parents attend an enjoyable Who's Who event of monstrous proportions. Meanwhile, amid all the happy hauntings, Revolta, the Witch of the Web, is scheming to be "the most feared name in the monster world" and to make the girls' school "part of her evil team forever." In a final showdown, it takes a joint effort of the boys and girls to defeat the evil Revolta and her spider-bat flunkies. This predictable modern-day cartoon is a disappointing departure from Scooby's classic 1970s episodes, those campy detective romps full of lunacy and quirky humor and sprinkled with slapstick suspense. Scooby-Doo fans will also miss his wacky cohorts Freddy, Daphne, and Velma, as well as their invincible Mystery Machine. At least the original voices remain the same, namely Don Messick as Scooby and Casey Kasem as Shaggy. (Ages 5 to 10) --Lynn Gibson
Typical Scooby Funny as always. My daughter loves Scooby-there's no bad Scooby as far as she's concerned
Class Is In Session.:) Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School is a classic Hanna-Barbera animated movie that is perfect for kids and grown-ups. It features Scooby, Scrappy-Doo and Shaggy getting a job at a finishing school where the students are daughters of the world's famous monsters. The DVD also has special features like two Scooby-Dooo music videos and a trailer for the Scooby-Doo live-action movie.
4 year olds love it, parents will cry in pain Wow... I have sat through this Scooby probably a hundred times... and I am now to the point that I want to set the DVD on fire.
The good: - apparently it is very entertaining to 4 year olds
The bad: - Only Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy - I hate Scrappy - The monsters, though friendly, are real - The plot makes NO sense at all... something about Shaggy being a gym teacher for an all girls monster school and they are playing volleyball against some jerks from a military school. And then there is some witch trying to capture the kids - The voices of the Ghoul Girls are irritating beyond belief... specifically the little girl ghost that has the screeching laugh. - The mystery machine isn't even here
In summary, your little ones will probably really like this movie, and you will probably want to be on the other side of the house while it is playing...
Kids Rating - 4-5 out of 5 stars Adults Rating - 1-2 out of 5 stars
Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School A favorite for me and my 5 year old son! We can watch this one over and over because there is a lot going on story-wise and the characters are interesting and funny. Only Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy are in this one.
Don't waste your money My kids are huge Scooby Doo fans. We own about 20 Scooby DVD's and this one is BY FAR the worst! Even my daughter thought it was awful and she never criticizes anything Scooby Doo.
This movie is not your typical "Mystery Inc solves another mystery" movie. Only Scooby and Shaggy are in this one, and they are really more like the supporting cast. The main characters are the annoying teachers and students of the Ghoul School.
Don't waste your time or money on this one. It's not worth it.
