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

Product Description

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy learn there are things even scarier than homework in this feature-length field trip into mystery and mayhem!

5.0 out of 5 stars the Best Scooby Doo movie October 25, 2008

By Anaďs V.

Format:DVD

I first saw this movie when I was 5 and luckily taped it so that I have been able to watch it since. I disagree with many of the other reviewers who think that this movie is the worst Scooby Doo movie ever. While I agree in that I hate Scrappy Doo, I don't think that his involvement in the film ruins it. Though this movie is a departure from previous Scooby Doo story lines in that there isn't a true mystery to solve, there is still a definite plot that involves more than just the upcoming volleyball game between the two schools. Also, the new characters in this film are rather endearing and the film has many funny moments. Now, almost 13 years after first seeing this movie, it is still one of my favorite animated movies of all time. If you don't mind a Scooby Doo movie that doesn't revolve around solving a mystery but instead deals with defeating a monster, then you would most likely enjoy this film.

By Hearse Queen

Format:VHS Tape

Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Scrappy-Doo find themselves mixed up in a mess of monsters when they accept jobs as gym teachers at a girls finishing school.

When Scoobyand the gang arrive at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School For Girls they meet the students, they're all daughters of famous monsters.

The evil Revolta watns to kidnap the girls and use them as an evil army to help her rule the world. She sends out her hordes of spider bats and her henchman, the Grim Creeper to brainwash the girls and bring them back to her castle.

Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy must rescue the girls and return them safely to Miss Grimwood!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Titles November 14, 2003

By "supper99"

Format:DVD

In this five dvd set you get: Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood, Scooby Doo's Creepiest Capers, Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf and Scooby Doo Original Mysteries.

Original Mysteries and Creepiest Capers are by far the best. They contain the actual cartoon shows. Ghoul School, Reluctant Werewolf, and Goes Hollywood are movie cartoons. Scooby Doo Goes Hollywood is the only one I don't really care for because they're not running from monsters or ghosts. Overall, it's a pretty good 5 pack of Scooby Doo Dvd's that would be great for any Scooby fan collecting the Dvd's.
