This film features Bill Nye the Science Guy and Elvira and Mistress of the Dark, as they join everyone’s favorite teen sleuths in a thrilling, action-packed Halloween adventure the whole family can enjoy together.

Ever since receiving a screener of Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo! earlier in the week, I was looking forward to the weekend, as I knew we would have a fun new family-friendly Halloween movie to watch together as a family.  I don't know about you, but we have been watching all the classic and fun animated Halloween movies that have been airing on television these past couple weeks, as we count down to Halloween.  Even though Halloween is cancelled where we are, that doesn't mean my girls are not excited about Halloween. They are planning a virtual Halloween party with their friends, to show off their costumes, play fun games, and enjoy Halloween themed snacks together. And, now after watching this new Scooby-Doo Halloween movie, my girls are now having their friends get a digital copy of this movie so that they can watch it during their virtual Halloween party. The movie was so good, that they have been talking all about with friends today and now have their friends wanting to see it too!

What we loved about this Scooby-Doo movie is that it was packed with laugh out louds scenes, plot twists that had us glued to the screen not wanting to miss a second, and come on...who doesn't love Scooby-Doo and Shaggy together?!  My girls have a nice little Scooby-Doo movie collection, thanks to adding my childhood movies and adding to it over the years, and now they can add this recent Halloween movie to their collection.  

Like I said, we watched this movie Saturday night for our family movie night. Before the movie, we carved up pumpkins and make a few Halloween themed snacks to enjoy when sitting down to watch the movie. But, the real fun was had when the lights were turned out and we put this movie on.  From the moment the movie started to play, we were all smiling and laughing.  I liked how Bill Nye the Science Guy and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark helped the gang solve the mystery and save Crystal Cove.  This new release also contains 3 bonus cartoons as its bonus content/special features.  We watched these bonus cartoons this morning, and the girls ended up watching them over again, as they really liked them.  I couldn't blame them, as I sat for them, and found myself laughing and enjoying them, too!

If you and your family love Scooby-Doo, then you will definitely want to check out Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo!, available now on DVD and Digital. This is one of those holiday movies you will look forward to watching year after year, as you count down to Halloween.  We can't wait to watch it again this week, and a few more times before Halloween. And, once you see this movie for the first time, you will love it, and want to watch it again, too!

Two-Disc DVD Set Features Thirteen 22-Minute Episodes

for Over Four Hours of Scooby-Doo! Content

I grew up watching Scooby-Doo with my brothers, and continued to watch the newer Scooby-Doo versions over the years.  Some worked, while others made me wish they never tried to revamp such a classic show.  And, as  a result, I found myself not watching new shows or movies, even if they looked worthwhile, as I didn't want to be disappointed.  If you are a true Scooby-Doo fan then you know what I am talking about.  I have seen many online forums where people talk about shows of the 70's and 80's and Scooby most always comes up, especially when a new DVD or series is released. 

Tomorrow's DVD has been talked about online for a few months now thanks to the DVD release announcement last fall.  Being a blogger, I was lucky enough to be set a review copy to see this all-new series from Warner Bros. Animation.  I am so glad I gave this new animated comedy series a chance as it really is amazing.  Yes, there are changes that you will notice from the classic Scooy-Doo series, like a new voice for Velma.  Some of the characters are also revamped to go with the times like Daphne's character - you will have to pick up this new release to see what I mean. :-)

I loved that this new release was made up of two DVDs as it made for a fun binge watching of  Be Cool Scooby-Doo! the other night with my husband.  I wanted to screen this new series before sharing it with the girls.  My husband, who also grew up watching Scooby and Shaggy agreed that this was a nice revamp to the classic and was not a flop.  We both found ourselves sharing past childhood memories of our favorite Scooby-Doo moments and talking about the 13 full-length episodes that make up this new 2-DVD set.  

My girls haven't had a chance to watch all the episodes yet.  But, the ones they have seen, they have loved.  Bella has also been busy trying her hand at a Shaggy impression, while Savannah thinks she has nailed Scooby-Doo. :-)  Gotta love kids! 

More about this upcoming DVD release:

My youngest daughter, Bella, is a huge Scooby-Doo fan.  She became a fan right before the holidays when she wasn't feeling well and resting on the couch watching television.  I was preparing soup for her and she couldn't find the remote to turn the channel. So, she let the channel play and Scooby-Doo! came on.  She asked me who the dog was and what the show was about.  But, before I could start telling her about Scooby, Shaggy and the rest of the crime-busting crew, she shushed me up so she could watch. :-)

After the episode was over, she asked if we had DVDs of this show, as she wanted to watch more.  We didn't, and thus began our searching for and picking up DVDs to create a Scooby-Doo! movie collection.  And, now, Bella has another new Scooby-Doo! DVD to add to her growing collection, hanks to this upcoming release from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

Included on this 2-DVD release is 13 full-length episodes.  One is brand new and never aired, while others are new to DVD or from seasons 1 -3 of this popular television series. airing daily.

Bella loved the "Scooby-Doo! and the Beach Beastie," which was the brand-new 22 minute cartoon that has never aired.  I found myself sitting down to watch it with her, and remembering back to watching this show with my brothers on Saturdays and after school.  Oh, how I wish I had saves my Scooby-Doo! VHS tapes to share with Bella.  But, I am happy that Warner Bros. continues to release new Scooby-Doo! DVDs so that fans like my daughter (and myself) can pick up and enjoy time and again.

Five Hours of Scooby-Doo! Cartoons

As a child, I always looked forward to the weekend, not just because there was no school, but because of Saturday morning cartoons.  My brothers and I would grab our bowls of cereal and head to the living room to watch a few hours of cartoons each and every Saturday morning.  This was the one time that we wouldn't fight over what to watch, as we all liked the same cartoons, including Scooby-Doo!.  Oh, how I miss through care free days.  

While I am not a kid anymore, I still get to enjoy Saturday AM cartoons, thanks to my girls, who are also fans of retro cartoons from my generation, including Scooby-Doo!.  So, when they saw that I received the upcoming Scooby-Doo! and Scrappy-Doo!:  The Complete Season 1 on DVD to review, they were all ready to help me watch and review.

Unlike the other Scooby-Doo series which now airs on television each day, this DVD contains 16 full-length episodes from the classic cartoon series. My girls instantly fell in love with little Scrappy-Doo when they saw him.  And, over the course of a few days we were able to watch this entire DVD, which is over 4 hours of Scooby-Doo! cartoons.  And, when I asked the girls what they thought, they both gave me two thumbs up, and asked when we would watch again.

If you have little ones who are fans of Scooby-Doo (the classic or new television series), you;ll want to pick up this upcoming DVD release to share with them and add to their growing Scooby-Doo! DVD collection.  Or, if you are like me and enjoy watching cartoons from your childhood, then you will be in for a treat when you pick up this DVD and have over 4 hours of Scooby-Doo! classic cartoons to enjoy.  I, for one, loved this new release and can't wait for more from Warner Bros. Animation, to grow our collection.

My Thoughts:

Not only did my nephew and a couple of his friends take in the Scooby-Doo Live! show at the Hanover Theatre this past weekend, but our Friday night movie selection was none other than tomorrow release, Scooby-Doo: Wrestlemania Mystery, which stars Scooby-Doo and some of the best WWE superstars.

When i was growing up, I used to love watching wrestling with my dad and two brothers.  And, whenever there was a Wrestlemania on PPV, we had the neighborhood kids and usually their dads over to watch it.  But, as I got older and realized that the wrestling was fake (oh no did I upset wrestling fans, sorry if I did), I stopped watching it.  But, when my nephew came to live with us, my husband found a new wrestling buddy to watch WWE wrestling with.  And, I hate to admit it, but I wouldn't leave the room when they turned the channel to watch weekly wrestling shows.  Instead, i would find myself glancing up and getting caught up in the action.

So, when I showed my nephew this upcoming Scooby-Doo movie, he was over the moon excited, and asked to watch it.  I didn't think he would be able to hold out until this past Friday to watch it, but he did -- mainly in part because we said he could have a few friends over for sleepover and watch it.

I wish you could have saw my living room, filled with four 8 year olds and my husband who during that time was transformed back into a child (sorry hunny), as they pretended to be their favorite WWE Superstars and get overly excited about the wrestling.  Not a fan of Scooby-Doo?  You will still love this movie for the WWE Superstars.  But, if you are a Scooby-Doo fan this inclusion of wrestling and these favorite wrestlers makes this full-length animated movie that much more enjoyable to watch.

Here is the jist of what the movie is about:

"When Shaggy and Scooby win tickets to WrestleMania, they convince the entire Mystery Inc. gang to travel to WWE City in the Mystery Machine to enjoy the show. But the trip quickly turns into another mystery as WWE City is full of secrets! A mysterious ghostly bear appears and threatens to ruin the show and steal the championship title belt. With the help of WWE Superstars John Cana, Triple H, Sin Cara, Broadus Clay, AJ Lee, The Mize, Sandino Marcella and Kane, Scooby-Doo and The Mystery Inc. gang team up to solve the case before it is too late!"

Leave it to Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred to work with WWE Superstars to get to the bottom of the ghostly bear appearing at Wrestlemania and wanting to ruin the show.  Scooby-Doo and his friends will not let this happen, and they jump into action to save the day in true Scooby-Doo fashion.

Being a Scooby-Doo fan since childhood, I was just as excited as my nephew and his friends to see this movie.  I never would have pictured Scooby-Doo partnering with WWE Superstars, but you know what...it worked, and provided a fun movie experience that the whole family will enjoy.

This is definitely one movie we will be watching over and over again.  My nephew has become a movie lending library and is taking names of those who want to see it, after he and his friends returned to school today and were talking nonstop about this great must see movie.  I am guessing many of their friends will be asking their parents to either rent or buy Scooby-Doo: Wrestlemania Mystery, when it arrives on store shelves tomorrow on Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack.

And, with Easter fast approaching, this DVD would make for a great basket gift for Scooby-Doo or WWE wrestling fans, like my husband and nephew.
