This show is awesome. After over 15 years it is about time Scooby got a new show. All the episodes on this DVD are great. The first episode is a really good. It has a groovy plot idea, making Fred and Velma get out of the way so Daphne can do some detective work. It wouldn't be good for alot of episodes, because Fred and Velma rock, but it worked. Space Ape at the Cape is a really good episode with Velma winning a Nasa contest. It is great for Velma fans. The alien is creepy looking and the title is an important clue. 3-D Struction is good too. A dinosaur spirit comes to haunt the museum that stole his bones. Scooby and the gang are on the case. Velma also explains why she doesn't wear make up and keeps her "natural look". And the last episode is by far the best. Lots of classic Scooby stuff. Creepy ghosts, creepy suspects, creepy Supermarket of the Supernatural. It also has stuff like Scooby acting out what he is trying to say(1st word bat wings!?) and Daphne gets kidnapped. This TV show rocks! Don't forget, the second season starts this fall on Kids WB!

I have the Scooby Doo Golden Collection and I think it's great to have loads of Scooby Doo episodes together in one collection. These new episodes are great but giving us 4 at a time is not a good idea and I really think Warner would have been better off investing their time (as we would invest our money) in a First Season Box Set.

What we are given for now are four episodes running 22 minutes each. A couple of them have below average stories but the other two are up to scratch. The animation and color pallet are very bright and modern as is the soundtrack which incorporates more original music than the old school shows (which tended to re-use temp scores and source music over and over) but manages to work in familiar themes.

For Scooby Doo purists there is no sacrilege here. Shaggy and Scooby/Fred are performed by Casey Kasem and Frank Welker so there's not too much of a divide between this and old school to distance older fans from the new show.

For what it is, the DVD presents the show absolutely flawlessly in 1.33:1 full frame with pretty active Dolby 2.0 surround and some minimal fluff extras. Buy it cheap and hope for a Season Box Set.

I bought this and it was awesome!Number one,check out Backstage with Simple Plan,the group who played the theme song.Listen and watch Velma's Music Video and the Mystery Inc.'s Music Video.Next,be amazed how the artist draw Scooby-Doo and the gang,it's so hard you can't really draw it (it's fast motion)Play The Extreme Boardin' With Scooby-Doo Game and guide Scooby-Doo how to snowboard with Sooby Doo!And finally,check out the Family Favorites Section and watch the Ozzy & Drix,Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico and Scooby-Doo Meets Basketball Stars trailer.You'll have fun with this DVD!

My kids are absolutely happy. We've been collecting all of the scooby doos. Every time the mail comes I see a smiling face. To be honest I tend to watch some of the episodes with them and I think the kids like scooby and the gang because their funny and innocent and down to earth. I prefer these types of cartoons compared to the new ones-which on TV are completely inappropriate for smaller kids. I think it makes my kids use their imagination more; each one allows them to play a part; They try to solve the mysteries as they watch. The Space Ape at the cape was a good one they liked the multiple shows. You know its kid like...The kids like them; Who am I, an Adult to say, Oh!! this cartoon is this and that. They love them all. Thats all that matters. A++ in my book.

our whole family loves scoody doo and we are trying to get all the dvds made of him...this is such a neat dvd and the cats love him too. thanks

This movie is perfect for young children. I was surprised to see how much my daughter is into Scooby Doo but she loves this cartoon more than any other. This is a great buy because it has four separate episodes and extras that she loves.

My son watches this over and over and over. He's 10, has lots of other Scooby-Doo's but Space Ape is one fo his favorites.

Get more for your money, you can get these four episodes PLUS 10 more for just a few dollars more in the "WHAT'S NEW SCOOBY DOO SEASON 1" set!

If you have enjoyed the series of new Scooby Doo movies releases in the past few years (Witch's Ghost, Zombie Island, Legend of the Vampire) you will enjoy these episodes from the new Scooby Doo series currently airing on Cartoon Network. The stories in this series are fairly simple but likeable anyway, focusing on the antics of Shaggy and Scooby. Having seen every incarnation of Scooby and pals from Scooby Doo, Where are You? to the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, this series definitely holds it's own and even surpasses some of the classic Scooby series (most notably "the Scooby & Scrappy Show").
Buy it, rent it, watch it...if you are a Scooby fan, you will like it!

I was more than happy when i saw that they had a new updated version of Scooby Doo out there. I know its not the original, but it really cant be. Its something i watched when i was kid and love still do til this day. But i actually do enjoy this new updated version of Scooby Doo. If you have any love for Scooby Doo, you would do well check this one out. I know that there are many changes and such to it. But you still have the whole Mystery Inc gang there and they are still doing their thing. Solving crimes, busting up bad guys and still getting called those "meddling kids" by folks busted in the act. Plus there are 4 episodes of the show the disc as well as the other volumes of What's New Scooby Doo. Not a bad price at all, you might be able to find it cheaper. But no big deal, in ending the new Scooby Doo is more than enough to satisfy my praise for the first.

Plus the Mystery Machine is still taking the gang wherever they wanna go.
