This for me was not one of the better straight to DVD Scooby-Doo outings, it fell a bit flat and seemed far longer than it actually was. Which seeing as it was only 71 mins to start with was a concern.

If I had to use a phrase to sum up this movie, I would have to use better than expected. Aloha Scooby Doo was not at all bad, flawed yes, but entertaining. The animation I thought was beautiful, with wonderful exotic backgrounds and some sinister looking ones too. I thought it was very funny, especially Shaggy, voiced by the one and only Casey Kasem, who just brings a sense of vitality to the character, and it is always a delight to see. The other voice talents are also great, Adam West even makes an appearance. The music is lovely here, quite atmospheric. The characters are very likable, and I must say the WikiKiki is quite something, in a scary sort of way. I also liked the fact that Daphne's hair actually came useful for once, to point the gang north. However, the story is fairly predictable, and sometimes unevenly paced. And I did find the character of Molly a bit annoying. Overall, not a bad movie, as a matter of fact I really did like it, and I give it an 8/10. Bethany Cox

Aloha, Scooby Doo plays in Hawaii and is about a surf competition. This sets the setting for a beautiful environment for the story to take place. All in all the story is a bit too simple and does hardly build up any suspense. This movie gives away a lot by telling you the bad guy right from the start. The usual run and hide game, which is typical for the series, again takes in a prominent role in this movie. On the technical side, the face expressions could have been drawn a bit more carefully to show more emotions. Beside these weaknesses, Scooby makes the audience laugh once in a while, especially when he and Shaggy are trapped in bad situations. Not the best movie ever, but a light "Scooby Snack" to pass some time.
