This time, Count Dracula forces Scooby-Doo and Shaggy to come to his castle to participate in a race with a bunch of other monsters, since the werewolf has retired and Shaggy is due to become the next one.
The best part is the race itself, as the monsters pull all sorts of tricks to undermine their opponents' performances. Throughout the movie, I kept wondering why Dracula ever hired Crunch and Bunch to begin with*, given how they pretty much do what Wile E. Coyote always does. Well, Bunch is tolerable, but Crunch would have driven me nuts.
So, there's probably nothing special about "Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf", but it's OK for a few laughs. I seem to recall a different one where Shaggy and Scooby go to a castle and the owner gives Shaggy a medallion that turns him into a werewolf.
*Similarly, why did the Skipper ever hire Gilligan in the first place, given what a disaster area the latter is?
