The best, original Scooby-Doo animated movie seen for some years, Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King is genuinely imaginative, fun, and full of surprises--particularly in its vocal casting. Besides the usual group--Casey Kasem still going strong as the voice of Shaggy (since 1969), Frank Welker as both Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc.'s leader, Fred, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey DeLisle as Daphne--Goblin King features Wallace Shawn, Lauren Bacall, Tim Curry and Wayne Knight in substantial roles. The lively story finds the Mystery Inc. gang enjoying a Halloween night at a carnival, where a hack magician (Knight) steals the power of a fairy on unauthorized leave from the spirit world. Faced with a threat to Fred, Velma, and Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby enter that parallel dimension overrun by elves, headless horsemen, witches, a talking pumpkin, etc. Their mission is to get to the Goblin King (Curry), who can stop the magician?s feverish quest for more and more power. The story is endlessly colorful and sharp, more of a fable than the average Scooby-Doo cartoon as Shaggy and Scooby, unlikely heroes, wander through a wonderland of ghouls for an answer. --Tom Keogh

 Okay, but definitely definitely definitely not the best... December 26, 2008

Though I adore the original and classic Scooby Doo cartoons from way back then, I have to admit that I love What's New Scooby Doo. These recent movies (Scooby Doo and the Monster of Mexico, Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire, Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness Monster, Scooby Doo in Where's My Mummy, Scooby in Pirate's AHoy, Chill Out Scooby Doo, etc) are also something that I've really enjoyed watching. However, I gotta say that I was extremelly disappointed with this one. For one, it's another one of those "the monster's real this time"-kinda movie. Don't get me wrong, Zombie Island, Ghoul School, Boo Brothers, Reluctant Werewolf, Witche's Ghost, and all those others were fantastic, but in order to make these "the monster isn't a guy in a mask"-kinda Scooby Doo movies, you just gotta be good, because it doesn't always work out. It didn't here.
Like almost all of the other reviews have said, this is a Scooby-Doo/Shaggy movie, barely any scenes with Fred and Daphne, and almost none with Velma. (The way the writers got rid of Velma here was by saying that she passed out because she couldn't believe the monsters were real this time - LAME!). Also, the surprise ending at the end - which I'm not gonna ruin - kinda makes the entire movie a comedy and makes not understand previous scenes that you thought you understood. The songs were...strange. Also, the animation could have been way better and some of the characters were annoying. However, there were some good points, such as the good Scooby humor and...wait, that's all I can think of. The plot was okay but it could have been better if they didn't make the monsters real. And, I know it's a children's movie, but some parts were way too kiddy and weren't the Y7 material we've got used to seeing in What's New Scooby Doo. Ironically, some parts were too scary, like when the way some of the characters turn into monsters. You see the green laser-like light entering their bodies and causing them pain.
If you really wanna see this, rent it. DO NOT BUT IT!
***IF YOU WANNA SEE IT SPANISH, YOU'RE OUTTA LUCK. NO SPANISH DUBBING OR SUBTITLING!

Good October 27, 2008
In my opinion, Scooby Doo mysteries are just not as good as they used to be. ( Still better than the horrible Scrappy Doo period though!) As an adult, it is fun trying to recognize who is doing the voice overs though. Jay Leno seemed to have a really good time playing the Jack o latern, and I always enjoy Tim Curry's voice. BUT, my kids really have enjoyed this DVD. It has gotten them all prepped and excited about Halloween. I feel like their attention to this movie will ebb over time though. They enjoy watching the old school mysteries better than most of the movies. With the exception of Zombie Island, which they have worn out!
Supremely Funny! October 26, 2008
This movie was hilarious. Watching Velma have a brain meltdown was so funny. Plus, I liked the fact that the movie gives Shaggy and Scooby a chance, in spite of their cowardice, to be the heroes. Along their journey through the shadowlands, they get help and make friends with some very cool and unique characters including a talking jack-o-lantern, witches, fairies, and other spooks. This movie is by far one of the best feature length Scooby films in a long time. My favorite part is when Scooby and Shaggy are running from the headless horseman and they use a deck of magic cards for help. The so-called help they get is a laugh-riot.
