Just a warning to consumers:

This set is full screen, not the 1.85:1 widescreen that is listed. This is exactly the same as the previously released double feature, just with a different cover.

And I don't get it--the majority of folks who watch DVDs have wide screen TVs these days--"standard" tvs are getting hard to even find in stores! It's almost 2010 for crying out loud--why, do manufacturers even produce "standard" versions of films that were originally wide? Now THAT's a mystery!

ps--I should point out that EVERY online store, including the online Warner DVD store itself, lists the incorrect aspect ratio info on this item. I tried to get this corrected on Amazon, but since I couldn't find a url to attach, they wouldn't change their listing. (Even though I have a copy of the actual dvd in my hand right now and it says very clearly "Full Screen Version"). That's progress for you).

This is a review of the Scooby Doo 1&2 Collection on Blu-ray. They are both widescreen movies and look great. I was in middle school when Scooby Doo was first released in theaters, so I'm heavily biased when I say that the 1st movie is awesome. If you like these two movies even a little and own a blu-ray player, you definitely MUST buy this collection. The picture quality is great and this movie is shot very well with colors that pop. It looks really great on my flat screen. Sound is also great. I think this is a well done blu-ray of these two classic movies. And CGI Scooby looks very nice in HD. Yes, its all in high definition.

The only con I can think of is that the bonus features of the 1st movie was obviously shot in full screen but stretched to widescreen for the blu-ray, and I have yet to figure out how to squeeze it back to the normal aspect ratio.

Overall, I highly recommend this product. These movies are very well made (well at least the 1st one was) and a joy to watch. The 1st movie also comes with cast and filmmaker commentaries, which are delightful to listen to as well.

I was looking for a replacement video and found this two for one video. No preview adds on the CD was a plus. This is a single DVD with a two sided disk. I would recommend purchasing it if you don't mind not having the original issue.

This DVD contains mutilated ("full" screen) versions of the films indicated, not widescreen. The information as to a 1.85:1 screen aspect is a lie. Don't support it.

Furthermore, the DVD is a 2-sider, so you have to flip it over to watch each film. There are inexpensive copies of the INDIVIDUAL, WIDESCREEN films available from Amazon resellers and I encourage you to avail yourselves of their excellent services.

Do not, in any event, buy this mutilated cheat.

I have sent a correction of the inaccurate information to Amazon and we can hope they will post it.

Very funny movies. Smoe crude humor but still appropriate for 5 & 7 yr olds

the movies are in great shape and we have enjoyed the two movies over and over! i would most surely buy from them again!

Couldn't believe we found the combo movies for such a great price! My guys LOVE Scooby Doo movies, and have been watching them tons since we received them. This made a great birthday gift for them that their older sister could afford to purchase on her limited funds.

Each movie comes in one disc, but both come in the same case, which is sad. Each Scooby movie deserves its own case to be displayed on the shelve. The case is very poor, with big holes behind the disc, which makes it fragile.
The picture quality of the 1st movie is great, but the 2nd isn't so good. I think it's an upgrade from the DVD, but it's far from what high definition could bring.

And my final request: Warner Bros, PLEASE, start including brazilian portuguese audio and subtitles in all your movies! I'm brazilian and it's sad that I can't watch the movie in my main language, since this title isn't avaiable in my country (and I bet it will take YEARS for it to become avaiable).

Loved the price for this double feature. My son is a HUGE Scooby fan and has already gotten my money's worth from watching this DVD constantly. Would have loved for it to have come in a plastic case versus cardboard but it's still a winner.

My 8-year-old son loves the old Scooby-Doo cartoons, so this movie (with the real actors, not the cartoon characters) was a bit of an adjustment for him. The real-looking special effects scared him a little, but the humorous elements from the original series are all the same, so in the end he liked it. I would rate a movie with the original cartoon characters higher than this one.
