[@Supasmartguy]

The entire point of the original Scooby-Doo on zombie Island is the fact that, eventually, you get sick of watching them pull masks off of people and want to see them catch a real monster. The original film not only gave us this concept, but a perfect execution of it: it has the characters expecting it to be another person in a mask and has them be very surprised and genuinely terrified when it turns out to be real. The sequel completely missed this point.

[@superchicken5095]

I agree with all your points. The only thing I'd like to say though, is that "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island", wasn't the FIRST time real monsters were in Scooby-Doo Technically, the first time real monsters were in the franchise, was in the second of "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo". Although probably the most well-known examples OTHER than "Zombie Island", are "The 13 Ghost's of Scooby-Doo", and the three Hanna-Barbera Superstars movies; "Boo Brothers" 👻 "Ghoul School" 👾 and "Reluctant Werewolf 🐺

[@Supasmartguy]

@@superchicken5095 the real monsters were silly, goofy, and not inherently hostile in those. Plus, I'm pretty sure those were in a separate continuity.

[@kidprime6863]

The sequel tries to de-canonize the events of the original. Saying it was all hallucinations caused by gas. That explanation is completely weak.

[@kyleellis1825]

@@superchicken5095 They have that levitating candle in the first episode. Supernatural has always been present. Though, with all the movies having the ghosts be real, having a movie go back to people in masks is a change up in the same way it originally was. Just no need to poo all over the original when doing the new movie.

[@justaguywhowatchesyoutube5588]

The velma show seriously makes the movies on the worst list look like a masterpiece.

[@georgerobertson7010]

I’d take those movies over Velma any day

[@davidc.]

Na I'd rather watch the trainwreck that is velma over those bottom 3.

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

Brickleberry might’ve been awful, Allen Gregory was offensive, Fairview made me want to get a chainsaw root canal… But Velma is SO AWFUL it’s legally considered a carcinogen. Johan Liebert from Monster wasn’t this deplorable and that somabitch LITERALLY had a Neo-Nazi group try to make him their god!

[@yuichiusagirabbitpawssnow4820]

Really like Scooby Doo movie 🍿 instead of watching dumpster velama tv shows looking really awful love 💕 Scooby doo film 🎞️

[@connorrivers995]

I'd gladly rewatch "Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf" before I watch Velma.

[@Nick-ty9us]

I’m surprised Hanna and Barbera approved of Scooby Doo on zombie Island because there’s material in that movie that Hanna-Barbera definitely would not do

[@josepharmstrong1788]

I have been brainstorming an idea for a Scooby Doo miniseries where Mystery Inc. is a full on detective business with Fred as the lead detective, Dauphine, Shaggy, and Scooby as field operatives, Velma as a forensics expert, and other Hanna Barbara Scooby clone characters as staff. As far as stories go, the first one is a classic Scooby Doo episode with a twist at the end hinting at a much larger mystery, an episode that challenges Mystery Inc.’s perception of monsters when they find out some staff members ARE monsters themselves, a battle of the bands where the Hex Girls are revealed to be actual vampires, an island of giant skeleton warriors, an updated Boo School, and Scrappy Doo’s big shot at redemption. That’s what I have so far, but let me know what you think and if there’s anything else that could be worth exploring. I do have 2 major rules. 1. There ARE supernatural elements in this series. 2. No making characters cruel for the sake of being subversive.

[@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS]

I regret to inform you that your idea is much too good for the standards of today's Warner Bros. They are looking for garbage, mediocrity, or anything in between. But your idea is actually _good._ They won't go for it. They'd rather produce literal garbage like _Velma_ or sh¡tty sequels like _Return to Zombie Island_ that ruin their best movies. You're better off turning it into your own mystery series with original characters. There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from something you love and turning it into your own thing. Like the Venture Bros was inspired by Scooby Doo and Johnny Quest. Good luck to you, good sir or ma'am. If you do write your own mystery thing, I would very much like to read it.

[@fusionwing4208]

this genuinely sounds like a different take on what Mystery Incorporated was, I loved that series.

[@WillFiveNights]

Fun Fact: Velma's voice actor is the voice actor of Webby Vanderquack from the Ducktales reboots series.

[@darthestar8791]

In some of the later renditions of Scooby Doo :D

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

I mostly recognized her as Sadie from Steven Universe, but I knew that I’d heard her voice somewhere before.

[@labyrinthgirl17]

Zombie Island gave me my phobia of zombies, because I had a horrific nightmare after watching that movie. I'm still surprised I turned out to be a horror fan, when it should've scared me away from anything scary lol.

[@ryanandersonreade5437]

As a big Scooby Doo fan thank you for making this video thanks for putting camp scare stage fright and Scooby Doo on zombie island in your best list cause camp scare and Scooby Doo on zombie island are one of my favourites

[@the_one_who_is_many]

as a child i always loved legend of the phantosaur (i loved and still love dinosaurs) and i now realise i only watched very few scooby doo movies, out of the like 6 ive ever watched though its still probably my favourite one

[@kidprime6863]

Not to mention it spawn the "Ultra Instinct Shaggy" meme

[@Fictionboy16]

Back then, I wasn't a big fan of the Scooby-Doo franchise, but I grew more fond of it as time went by. I found it interesting how you put SD: Return to Zombie Island and SD on Zombie Island as the #1 worst and best respectively, as the former is a great example of how to do disservice to the fanbase by making a sequel that serves as a nostalgia trap while Scoob! also did disservice by favoring cinematic universe-making over franchise-building. One movie I've been meaning to watch is the fairly recent Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo, and I hope Hannah Barbera learns from the many hits and misses from all the movies they made for the series.

[@shadowleon659]

Best: Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.

[@miriamnunez5101]

The Arabian nights one may not be good but gosh it brings me so much childhood nostalgia, I used to have the VHS

[@Freeando]

imo monster of mexico and samurai sword are probably my 2 favorite scooby doo movies. i don't know what it is about them but god they were my entire (early) childhood

[@johnjelar900]

Personally love the list but I really just love either alien invaders or cyber chase more than stage fright. Don’t get me wrong stage fright was great but the other two just had the amazing animation style, amazing stories, and great characters. Stage fright has those but doesn’t have the nostalgia factor of the other to and the darkness. I loved the dark earlier 2000s scooby doo’s. Great list tho

[@WrdSel]

Yeah the top 4 zombie island , witch’s ghost , Allen invaders and cyber chase will always be top 4

[@c0mpu73rguy]

As bad as all these flop 5 films are, at least they’re not « Velma » bad.

[@willlyon7129]

Even though Scooby Doo meet Courage the Cowardly Dog didn't made it this list.

[@thomasspongeconductor2222]

Check out Jambareeqi’s 2021 film ranking for his thoughts on that movie.

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

I didn’t hate Scoob!, but the biggest issue I have with the movie isn’t the artstyle, isn’t the lack of mystery, isn’t the Tinder joke-it’s that this clearly intended to be a kickoff to some cinematic universe (because, yes, it’s a strong business strategy but nobody understands how to ACTUALLY build one), yet instead of trying to pitch the movie as a Part 1 of ???, the movie feels more like it was written to be a Part 4, Part 5 or even 6. Most of the designs feel well translated into this new style but they introduce Dick Dastardly, Blue Falcon, and even Captain Caveman like they already had their own movies that went into detail about their backstories, character, and we should already know them. You can see the remnants of what was *supposedly* a stand-alone Scooby-Doo movie (maybe a franchise rebrand, maybe just a quick one-and-done modernization, who knows what the original plan was), but then they slammed three or four different movies on top of it out of either lack of confidence or just thinking the Scooby-Doo name could let these other ideas springboard off (kinda like what the DuckTales reboot did with integrating Rescue Rangers or Darkwing Duck), but it’s more like Robyn Starling in the Tom & Jerry movie where they basically just hijack the rest of the story. I didn’t intend this to turn into a whole rant, but there we go. I didn’t hate Scoob, I actually would’ve liked a Hanna-Barbera version of the MCU, but it’s just so sloppy and held together with duct tape and chewing gum.

[@joshwilliams4976]

I Knew That Zombie Island is The Number 1 Best Place😊🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️. And The Woodsman is a Awesome Villain and To me he looks like a Mix Between Mr. Hyde and The Creeper and A Little Bit of The Undertaker💚. And Stage Fright is Awesome too💚. And Witch’s Ghost is Also Awesome💜.

[@Alejandroigarabide]

For me, 3 things make bad Scooby Doo movies: 1) Lots of filler, making it boring. 2) Annoying characterization of one of more members of the main gang. 3) A mistery that makes no sense when rewatching the movie. Your choice for the worst movie fits all 3.

[@KairaSuperSayan93]

Scooby Doo on Zombie Island will always be my favorite Scooby Doo movie and to me the best Scooby Doo movie. I actually met Scott Ines and Grey DeLisle Griffin and got an autographed Zombie Island poster.

[@Traff1cC0n3Guy]

I am so glad that you enjoy stage fright as much as I do a lot of times stage fright doesn’t get the love that it deserves

[@TheMovieAndCartoonFan]

I'll say this much. Even the Worst of the Movies are still better than ANYTHING in that awful HBO Max disgrace of Not "Velma"

[@Eurxnymous]

There is only 1 Scooby-Doo movie that i truly love and that's gotta Scooby-Doo And The KISS Rock & Roll Mystery, it introduced me to KISS and it's been my favorite band for years now.

[@ayanamiayachanJ]

Scooby-Doo was my childhood until grade 6

[@ThomasFisher-jr6bn]

Also, The Mummy isn't a Warner Bros movie. It was made by Universal.

[@arielperez3613]

My favorite Scooby doo movies are the animated films from the 2000s that being Scooby doo and the lochness monster, Scooby doo legend of the vampire, Aloha Scooby doo etc. I just love the what’s new Scooby doo art style of those movies but I also enjoy the Scott Innes era of Scooby doo

[@billymoore7182]

My top favorite Scooby-Doo films I've seen so far: 1. Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island 2. Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire 3. Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase 4. Scooby-Doo and the Witches Ghost 5. Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo 6. Scooby-Doo and Kypto Too 7. Scooby-Doo: Camp Scare 8. Scooby-Doo: Stage Fright 9. Scooby-Doo: The Movie 10. Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed

[@shadowthechibihog]

Mt favorite would have to be Scooby-Doo and the cyber chase it was nice to see a unique idea of having the gang be sucked into a game about themselves

[@sarahziegler1582]

When I first saw Happy Halloween I felt very, VERY confused

[@charlesschofield4018]

My Top 5 Best Scooby-Doo Animated Movies are; 1. Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island 2. Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost 3. Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase 4. Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders 5. Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

7:36, Not gonna lie, I still had fun with SCOOB! alot in my opinion.

[@michaelnally2841]

My personal top 5 best and worst are Worst 5. Scooby doo and the monster of Mexico 4. Scooby doo and the reluctant werewolf 3. Scooby doo and the 13th ghost. 2. Scooby doo and the samurai sword (sad fact this was the last Scooby Doo film Shaggy’s original voice actor Casey Kassum did before he passed away) 1. Scooby doo return to zombie island 5. Scooby doo and the alien invaders 4. Scooby doo and the witches ghost 3. Scooby doo abra kadara doo 2. Scooby Doo camp scare 1. Scooby doo on zombie island

[@user-nn4wt4dg6y]

My favorite list exactly except cyber chase in the 3rd slot for the karats doo

[@michaelnally2841]

@@user-nn4wt4dg6y I kinda have a soft spot for Scooby doo and the cyber chase. Is it perfect? No. But I still have fun with it.

[@richallenxbox1976]

Best thing about the Reluctant Werewolf was that the Vampira character was hot!

[@totaldramarejectisland]

I haven't seen the halloween one but it seems Velam and Scarecrow's relationship is similar to Silence of the Lambs

[@danilociak6504]

I loved the Loch Ness Monster movie and the one of the 13th ghosts, since it gave an ending to the old show

[@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

Oh wow, I *totally* didn't expect Stage Fright to be in your Top 5 at all, but I'm happy you have it! I of course love it as a Phan for being a Scooby-Doo mystery centered around Phantom of the Opera, a crossover I'd low-key hoped for as a kid due to the story's origins as an intended mystery novel, but yes, it *is* quite funny, and I love what they did with Steve. Part of me wonders if the reveal of him being totally fine was a riff on the less-than-stellar execution of Gerard Butler's deformity-that's-really-a-sunburn in the 2004 Schumacher film of the ALW musical. 😆🌹 I was *about* to say that it makes up for you not liking Witch's Ghost, but then I saw it placed in your Top 2 spot! Based on your criticisms towards it in COTC, I figured you weren't a fan, but I'm glad to hear you give praise to it this time 'round! You must've really re-evaluated the film since your last review! You even *gasp* called it one of Tim Curry's more nuanced performances! *shakes head* Not trying to make fun of you for your old opinions, I swear, I'm just really glad to hear you've changed your attitude towards it, because it's always been my favorite, even more so than Zombie Island. Though that mainly comes from WG having the advantages of being set in New England (where I'm from), the Hex Girls, and Tim Curry's involvement. 😉🥰🧙‍♀

[@MonkeyMoo-m1h]

When I was younger scooby doo stage fright gave my nightmares because of how the phantom acts, how he looks and how he is presented.

[@stormshadowproductions1660]

Shame no Scooby Doo Legend of the phantosaur

[@billymoore7182]

Other Scooby-Doo films I'll see and own soon are Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders and Scooby-Doo and the Relentic Werewolf. Then I think I could definitely have a great top 5.

[@lblack2180]

Has anybody else realized that Camp Scare is a family friendly version of Friday the 13th woth the Woodsman based off Movie 3 Kason Voorhees?

[@rogueone5711]

A way I think of frankencreepy I like to think of it as a scooby Doo version of young Frankenstein by Mel brooks

[@davidroe5666]

What about Scooby and cyber chase

[@c0mpu73rguy]

9:17 Are you sure it’s not Fred that’s the most neurodivergent of the gang?

[@kyleellis1825]

All depends on which season you watch. In Mystery Inc, It seems like Fred is. But watch Be Cool and it's clearly Daphne. Watch another season and it's Velma being neruodivergent. Or you know, Shaggy is talking to his dog like it's a person and eating dog snacks, could be him.

[@Nick-ty9us]

Baby face Bharati sounds like an Italian gangster name which makes sense. Joseph Barbera came from a Italian family in New York.

[@Cruzer108]
