SCOOBY DOO AND THE RELUCTANT WEREWOLF - DVD Movie
Amazon.com
Scooby scholars of the old-school set will find much in the Reluctant Werewolf to give them pause. For one thing, Scrappy and Googy, Shaggy's girlfriend, are subbed for missing members of the Mystery Machine gang, and for another, instead of making like bananas and splitting from the monster at the center of a mystery, this crew slides, peel-style, into a strange circus of benign spooks, no meddling involved. The reluctant werewolf is Shaggy; he's forced to finish first in a monster road race if he wants to rid himself of his fangs and facial fur (a dirty trick played on him by Dracula). A truckload of shenanigans, mostly screwball car tricks, ensue. Wacky wordplay works up a handful of howls here, but not enough to make this full-length feature worth tuning into twice or, ultimately, rescuing from the Scooby-Don't pile. --Tammy La Gorce

Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf Reviews
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf (DVD) I saw this like a hundred times when I was a kid and I did not think I would laugh at it as much as I did then. Especially considering this is old school Scooby animation and not the sleeker, brighter animation of recent years. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It's even better than Scooby's most recent adventure (The Monster of Mexico). There is no Mystery Inc or Mystery Machine in this movie. It's just Shaggy (wearing a red shirt instead of a green one) and Scooby (and unfortunately, Scrappy, tho he doesn't feature prominently) and Shag's girlfriend Googy. Shaggy lives in an alarmingly large, mansion-esque house and is chosen by Count Dracula to become a werewolf so he can take part in a race for monsters. Despite looking cute and cuddly as a Werewolf, Shaggy obviously doesn't want to do it but Dracula promises to change him back to human if he wins. What follows is a Scooby Doo version of the Wacky Races as insane customized cars battle it out on an anything-goes...

Now I have sat through untold hours of Scooby Doo and can enjoy most of them even on the 800th viewing... now let me tell you the bad news: This movie is Terrible, but your kids are going to love it and want to watch it over and over again. First, there is no mystery, no gang, and no unmasking. The music is repetitive so even if you are in the next room you will feel the pain. The basic story is - Count Dracula turns Shaggy (wearing a red shirt) into a werewolf and tells him if he wins a car race he can be changed back. So Shaggy, Scooby (with only a minor role), Scrappy and Shaggy's girlfriend "Googy" go to the race. Shaggy and Scooby race while Scrappy and Googy get them out of problems. The Count keeps trying to make them loose, there's some annoying announcer, and all of the monsters are real. Your kids will love it... and that would be tolerable if they had...

Unlike some of the new Scooby-Doo movies, this one has more comedy in it that both kids and parents will like. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars. |
