Since the original release of Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, Sept 22 1998. After years of unmasking fake ghosts, the Mystery Gang have separated and acquired new careers, including Daphne being a reporter. For her birthday, Fred invites the whole gang to join their trip to Louisiana for Daphne’s television show. They have many adventures but every ghost is just a villain in a costume. They soon meet Lena Dupree, who takes them to Moonscar Island in the hopes to encounter a real ghost. Things soon become creepy and the gang find themselves caught between vicious werecats and zombies lead by the ghost of Moonscar the Pirate.
Now comes the sequel, Scooby Doo! Return To Zombie Island. Scooby-Doo and his pals win an all-expense paid vacation and embark on a trip of a lifetime to a tropical paradise. Their destination however, turns out to be Zombie Island. As soon as they arrive, they realize the place looks strangely familiar and is reminiscent of a trip they took years ago, in which they became wrapped up in a mystery involving zombies. The gang soon learns that their trip to paradise comes with a price when the zombies re-emerge and attack their hotel. Will Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang finally solve the mystery behind Zombie Island?
In Select Theaters July 21st. Available on Digital September 3 and DVD October 1.
I loved Scooby Doo show and while the live action movies weren’t bad, I think the animated ones are more true to the source and help them to be more creative. So, this might actually be a good movie!

Yes the older ones are still my favorite all time cartoons. SD! On Zombie Island terrified me as a little child, just because of it being “real” and not fake monsters. I thought it was like “The End” for them… Plus 20 years later a get the sequel, which can go either way. Make the original have justice or completely fail the film as a stand alone.

Yes, you are right. I think they have a difficult task of creating a film that appeals to the fans of the classics as well as newcomers who may have heard of Scooby Doo through some other place, like the Shaggy meme or live-action films. I hope it turns out to be a good movie for fans and non-fans!
