In Scooby Doo 'curse of the lake monster' the original cast of Scooby Doo 'the mystery begins' return for the second film in the series.
My 7 year old daughter & I are massive Scooby Doo fans & we own many of the animated cartoons that are available on DVD. We really enjoyed 'The mystery begins' and had quite high hopes for this sequel, but I have to say that I felt really let down by this film. It feels very different in tone to 'the mystery begins', it lacked all the warmth and charm of that movie, the special effects felt a bit tired and the dialogue was just far less sharp & was not really very funny. The plot is arguably a bit more adult in that a large aspect of the film revolves around Daphne falling for Freddie & Shaggy falling for Velma, this kinda felt a bit silly & meant that Scooby was a bit sidelined. I'd love to say this was a good film that is worth the money, but I can't. The best thing about this DVD is the cool sleeve that the DVD is boxed in which has a moving water effect & there are a couple of 'What's New Scooby Doo' cartoons as part of the extra's.
I suppose if you want the complete set, then go buy this film. But if you are new to buying Scooby Doo movies then I would honestly say that there are many Scooby films that are far more entertaining for you to invest your money in.

The other Scooby Doo live movies were much better than this one. My son (7) and my daughter (12) love Scooby Doo, as do I, but we had to ask ourselves throughout this whole film... Scooby Doo, Where are you? Scooby seems to have been in short supply while the film concentrated on love connections between the Mystery Inc crew. Disappointing, but watchable and no doubt we will watch it again and again and again - it's Scooby Doo after all.

Please forgive me for not commenting on the movie, but this appears to be the only way I can submit feedback about this item.
This movie is sold as a Triple Play, containing a Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital Copy of the film, but upon attempting to access the digital copy a message has come up to say that it has now 'expired'. I do not understand how this is even a possibility.
I am all too familiar with limited offers when it comes to buying Blu-Rays or DVDs, but these are usually advertised via a sticker which is easily removable once the promotion is over, and NOT as part of the packaging.
If the cover of this movie had said that it was a Double Play (Blu-Ray and DVD), and then a sticker or paper insert proclaimed that a bonus digital copy was available for a limited period, then that would be understandable, but that is not how they have done it.
I have bought a specifically-labelled "Triple Play", so I should be entitled to this, in the same way that I am entitled to the DVD and Blu-Ray copies of the film. Obviously it is Warner Brothers that are to blame here, and I wonder how they think this is fair?
I would love to hear from other people in a similar position. This is extremely shady practice from Warners.

The worst film of the series so far!
As an avid scooby doo fan I was very dissapointed, the actors were badly chosen. The actor who played Shaggy sounded like he had a sore throat all the way though the film, Velma... Read more
