I haven't seen all of the Scooby-Doo movies, but of the ones I have seen, this is probably the worst. Dont get me wrong. I wouldn't call this a bad movie. Just underwhelming. On the one hand this is a great initial introduction to Scooby-Doo for young kids because if they like this one, they will almost certainly like the other movies. But at the same time this is one of the weakest Scooby-Doo movies so it might better to introduce someone to Scooby-Doo using a better version. I did find the mystery engaging especially as they were explaining it at the end, but the mystery recap went on for quite a while and was a bit convoluted; Not sure if a child would follow it easily. Cool, unique vampire design. Never seen another vamp the Yowie-yahoo. The opening to the film drags on because, until the Scooby gang arrive in Australia, everything on screen has no relevance to the rest of the plot and simply poorly executed slapstick and homages to other famous moments of Scooby-Doo history. Not bad, but there are much better Scooby adventures to enjoy.
