Scooby Doo Anyone ???
Hereiam | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 06:16 am     Just wondering if any of you have seen Scooby Doo yet? My seven year old is very VERY eager to see it, but I would love to hear others' views on it before we go. Thanks! |
Kady | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 11:07 am     I want to see it but my 10 year old doesn't. He says he don't like Scooby Doo. But if anybody post here that it is good, I'm gonna make him go with me. |
Alaskagal | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 11:23 pm     It was pretty funny. Not a must see in the theatre though. It was slapstick, funny though, but almost stupid at times. I am 26 and would recommend renting it, but I don't know what a kid would think, maybe a little funnier to them. Not much help am I??? |
Bob2112 | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:28 am     If you grew up watching Scooby Doo, then you will probably really enjoy the movie. Otherwise, the humor and dialog may be difficult to follow and may not make much sense, Jinkies. An adult friend that went with us and who had never seen the cartoon, slept (and snored!) through most of the movie. If you love Scooby and Shaggy's antics, then you will probably love the movie. Zoinks, there is even a cameo apparence by a lesser known character that makes the most sense if you are familiar with the show. The mystereous island and mansion look just like I have imagined they would from watching the show. My 10 and 12 year old and their 2 friends (ages 8 and 12) loved the movie, but they are all very familiar with the cartoon. Now what we really need are live action movies for: Speed Racer "Go Speed Racer, Go!" and The Superfriends "Their mission: To fight Injustice. To right that which is wrong. And to serve all mankind!" |
Hereiam | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:41 am     Thanks guys. I think my 7 year old will love it. He watches old the scooby reruns on the WB so he is VERY fimiliar with the characters. Now what about an almost 4 year old? He watches the same reruns with his brother. Would it be too scary? |
Bob2112 | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:52 am     Here's a couple of links that may give more information than you want/need to know. The first one lists "Animal dresses as a woman" under Sexual Content! Grading The Movies Kids In Mind |
Hereiam | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 09:45 am     thanks Bob! I knew about those, but somehow didn't even think about checking them  |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 10:03 am     Like Zoinks! I grew up on this show and thought it was boring. The Hollywood types think that Gen Xers just love to wallow in their latchkey kid childhoods. Whatever. Leave this one to the kiddies. (Grouchy today) |
