Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico [DVD] [Standard] [2003]

Yes, this is one of many Scooby Doo movies out in the marketplace, and if you can't tell, I am not a huge fan of them either. The origianl series had its charms, but was always the same thing week after week. Same applies here, with still the same focus on Shaggy and Scooby, in Mexico, solving mysteries while doing the same-ol', same-ol'. I'd recommend just watching Cartoon Network for reruns of the original series or hunt for the DVDs of the originals. At least the animation is superior here than the original series and the origianl voice actors do return as well, so something at least better than the newest releases but nothing much more than the 70s cult classic. At the very least the 1.33 (Full frame of older TVs, so don't be frightened of black bars on the sides of your HDTV) looks nice and sounds decent with the 5.1 surround sound track. A nice surprise is some extras along with a bonus movie of Scooby-Doo. The best extra is of course a commentary with Casey Kasem & Frfank Welker, a nice featurette, a slideshow, outtakes and some DVD-ROM extras on disc one. Disc Two containing Scooby-Doo & the Circus Monsters (Haven't watched yet) but fairly extensive set for a DTV cartoon. Only watch if you have a youngster or a die-hard fan of the series, but buyer beware.

You can never go wrong with Scooby Doo and Monster of Mexico did not disappoint. My 7 and 5yr olds enjoyed it very much. I would recommend this purchase

My 5 year old son absolutely loves this movie. We travel to Cancun, Mexico every year for vacation and I bought this before we left for our trip. He sings the songs from the movie, very cute movie.

Haven’t seen this Scooby-Doo movie since I was a kid. Glad to re-add this to my collection.

We found the dvd in a bin and saw it was definitely priced to sell. Kids love the movie and wallah!
