Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost Film Review

 


Scooby-Doo fans it's been at the very least two months since I last reviewed anything that's to do with Scooby-Doo and since my last Scooby-Doo review was based off of Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island it only makes sense to me at the very least that this review be based off of the very next direct to video Scooby-Doo film. So then join me as a review the film that introduced the world to a now famous rock band with the freaking film in question being called simply just "Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Scooby and the rest of the Mystery Inc gang go to the small town of Oakheaven as the guest of famed horror book writer Ben Ravencroft and while there they discover anther mystery that needs to be solved. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that freaking bad bur that's also the issue because of the fact that the previous films plot was so good it's shocking and disheartening to see that the second films plot just isn't as god in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Scott Innes as Scooby-Doo and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and Frank Welker as Fred Jones. Also starring in this film is Mary Kay Bergman as Daphne Blake , B.J. Ward as Velma Dinkley , The great and perfectly cast Tim Curry as Ben Ravencroft , Jennifer Hale as Sally "Thorn" McKnight , Neil Ross as Mayor Corey and Exhibit Voice , Jane Wiedlin as Dusk , Bob Joles as Jack and The Constable , Kimberly Brooks as Luna , Tress MacNeille as Sarah Ravencroft and Peter Renaday as Mr. McKnight.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking good. With Tim Curry of course turning in a truly wonderful performance in this film and heck even B>J> Ward's more youthful voice for Velma oddly works well for this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this film is of course Mook DLE whom also did the animation for previous Scooby Doo film and did the animation for the next two animated direct to video Scooby Doo films. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking good which considering that the previous film had some truly fantastic animation it only makes sense that this film would also have to good animation as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I really do think that this film inspired the ending to Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed simply because the two endings are very similar to one another. With the endings to both films revolving around the gang throwing something to each other other in order to defeat that films main villain and so it really wouldn't surprise me at all if James Gunn became inspired by this film because it's so freaking blatant in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This film instead of having one sole mystery technically has to none of which im going to spoil but I will say that having two mysteries in the same film is pretty bold and daring move. It's just a shame then that only the second mystery gets alot of actual effort thrown into it with the first mystery getting nothing that would help us the audience solve that actual mystery ourselves in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


If there's ne thing that this film is famous for it's for introducing the world to The Hex Girls and yeah I really did like them in this film. That being said however the girl group do act needlessly scary in key parts of the film which is just something that rubbed me the wrong way simply because we get to find out the truth about these girls and if they didn't act needlessly scary then they wouldn't have been key suspects in the first mystery of this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and six minuets and thirty five seconds. Which is such a short amount of running time in order to probably tell this story and to give both of this films mysteries any kind of justice as such I really do think that this film should have at the very least have been one hour and thirty minuets long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then since this film is a comedy film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty just OK at best. Since alot of this films jokes didn't really all that hard for me personally but on the flip side of that tho is when the film does indeed tell a very funny joke it is a genuinely funny joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film is a pretty decent follow up film to Zombie Island but at the exact same time tho Zombie Island is very clearly the better of the two freaking films in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because the official Scooby Doo fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition.
