![]() The monsters in the intro, even though they *were* just guys in masks, looked truly menacing. Not the Scooby-Doo I remembered, that's for sure! The animation and art quality were big-budget and richly rendered- not true feature quality, but easily the equal of Disney TVA or any second-run theatrical film. ![]() The first five minutes of the film had me sitting and staring riveted at the TV, unsure what it was I was seeing. I knew that the occasional feature-length S-D movie had been made, with iffy quality, and I figured "S-D on Zombie Island" would be more of the same. I always sort of roll my eyes when I see another lineup of endless Scooby-Doo reruns on Cartoon Network, going through the litany of the original series, the guest-star laden "New S-D Movies", the reprehensible Scrappy-Doo ones, and the bewildering "Pup named S-D" episodes. I have a certain sense of nostalgia myself about it. It defined the "cartoon" for an entire generation, for better or for worse (animated films are still fighting off the presumption that all "cartoons" are essentially Scooby- Doo). I understand the value of the 70's campy, Hanna Barbera-y, cheap- n-cheesy Scooby-Doo of old.
