Amazon.com Review

"Hop into the Mystery Machine--the adventure is about to begin!" Surely it's hard to match the excitement of a multimillion-dollar, Gen X-targeted movie in a mere kids book tie-in, but this earnest little scrapbook does its best. Billed as a backstage pass to the making of Scooby-Doo, the Movie Scrapbook features dozens of stills, on-the-set Q&As with each actor (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini), special sections devoted to Scooby's eerie CGI reanimation and other special effects, and a "Scooby-Doo I.Q. test" (a dozen Scooby trivia questions along with the guesses each actor made, a cute idea executed reasonably well). The production is rough (predictably so for a marketing-inspired tie-in), and the interviews don't stray from what you'd find in a movie press kit, but even grownups might like checking out shots from the movie and behind-the-scenes photos. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes

This review is from: Scooby-Doo Movie Scrapbook (Paperback)

For those who have seen the new hit movie "Scooby Doo" will definitely enjoy this book! "Scooby Doo: The Complete Movie Scrapbook" is a must-have, with most everything you would want to know about the movie. First, here's the plot of the story:

When Mystery Inc. again solves another mystery, the gang splits up for reasons of their own. Velma (Linda Cardellini) is tired of not getting any credit for her brain-work, Fred (a blonde Freddie Prinze Jr.) arrogantly thinks himself better working alone, and Daphne (Sara Michelle Gellar) has had it with her 'damsel-in-distress' part. Only Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Scooby Doo (voice by Neil Fanning) is left heart-broken. But a few years later, the whole gang is invited to Spooky Island to investigate the mysterious going-ons and the strange behavior of the students who visit there. Of course the Scooby Gang wants to solve the mystery without the help of the others but in the end, they discover that the only way they would ever solve the mystery is to work together. But it will not be easy as clue by clue, the gang discovers a sinister plot to rule the world!

Included in this scrapbook is:
*INTRODUCTION* - An introduction to how the making of the movie came about and about the idea of the plot.
*MEET THE CAST* - Chapters based on how the director came to choose the stars, how the stars reacted, info on the characters they portrayed, and basic statistics on the stars.
*MEET THE MAKERS OF SCOOBY-DOO* - About the making of the computer animated character, Scooby Doo.
*SPECIAL FEATURES* - About all of the special effects, stunts, and action.
*BEHIND THE SCENES* - Chapter on... well... the behind the scenes info!
*SCOOBY IQ TEST* - A test on your Scooby smarts against the stars.

But one of the most reasons I like this book is because of the spectacular color photos. Every page has at least a few pictures, either behind the scenes pictures, movie stills, or production photos. There's a really cool picture of Sarah Michelle Gellar in a type of Chinise martial arts costume.

Another book I recommend is the junior novelization of the movie "Scooby Doo". Very good for younger kids with great color photos included in the book.
