The best, original Scooby-Doo animated movie seen for some years, Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King is genuinely imaginative, fun, and full of surprises--particularly in its vocal casting. Besides the usual group--Casey Kasem still going strong as the voice of Shaggy (since 1969), Frank Welker as both Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc.'s leader, Fred, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey DeLisle as Daphne--Goblin King features Wallace Shawn, Lauren Bacall, Tim Curry and Wayne Knight in substantial roles. The lively story finds the Mystery Inc. gang enjoying a Halloween night at a carnival, where a hack magician (Knight) steals the power of a fairy on unauthorized leave from the spirit world. Faced with a threat to Fred, Velma, and Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby enter that parallel dimension overrun by elves, headless horsemen, witches, a talking pumpkin, etc. Their mission is to get to the Goblin King (Curry), who can stop the magician's feverish quest for more and more power. The story is endlessly colorful and sharp, more of a fable than the average Scooby-Doo cartoon as Shaggy and Scooby, unlikely heroes, wander through a wonderland of ghouls for an answer. --Tom Keogh

 Scooby-doo and The Goblin King November 8, 2009
C. Sallie (southern WV)
I was so tickeled to find this movie, since it is one of the few I didn't know about...I have been collecting Scooby-doo movies for quite some time. The cost was low and the product arrived in perfect condition, as all I have ordered thus far. Thanks Amazon !
EPIC SCOOB!!!! October 25, 2009
wally gator (USA)
Out of the bunch of Scooby Doo movies that have come out on DVD in the last decade, this is easily my favorite (although, I can't lie, they all have their merits...) This has one of the most complex Scooby Doo plots of all time... and features real ghosts and spooks, as opposed to the usual "Old Mr. Jenkins in a mask" type scenarios.
Casey Casem is on board as shaggy, always a nice treat, as he does a percentage of Scooby Doo's these days, but not all. Theres other great voice work here as well, like Wayne Knight and Jay Leno in strong supporting roles.
Now lets run it down. This one is jam packed with a slew of Halloween treats. The ghost train comes in early to transport Scoob and Shaggy to the land of Halloween. The Ghost train scene is very well done... shortly after we arrive at the Ghost Saloon, and meet The Headless Horseman. Eventually the plot comes to a hilt, when the fairies, goblins, and other monsters all meet up in the real world (as is predicted by a crystal ball early on...) The whole gang are changed to monsters. Daphne a witch, Freddie a Vampire, and Thelma (hee hee) a Werewolf. A strong climatic ending makes sure that you will enjoy this edition of the series over and over, and as for a Halloween pick, this is a definate. Whether you have kids, are a kid, or just eat too many Scooby Snacks... you will dig.
Great Scooby Doo movie to watch on Halloween October 12, 2009
L. Capuano (United States)
Even though I am 21 years old,I still enjoy watching Scooby Doo. It's not something that you ever grow out of.
Now this movie is really good. However it's best to watch it around Halloween. It does kind of put you in the Halloween spirit and it's something to watch when you are giving out Halloween Candy to trick or treaters. Last year I watched this movie on Halloween night while giving out candy and I really enjoyed it.
The main plot of the movie is good and the voice talents like always, are awesome. It mostly features Shaggy and Scooby but the rest of the gang is in the movie.
If you are looking for a great movie to watch for Halloween that's not too scary or messy, than this is the one for you. It's great for all ages. I mean I have a 9 year old cousin who loves the movie, I'm 21 and I think this is a great movie and I have an Aunt in her 60's who doesn't have kids, but bought this movie anyway for herself because she likes it. So yeah, this is a movie for all ages and one that most will really enjoy.
 Disappointing September 7, 2009
Robert L. Miller (Irvine, California, USA)
I had mixed feelings on this one, for sure. It really is a bummer to take what was unique about Scooby Doo, in that past Scooby Doo episodes and movies were actually "investigating" mysteries, (including unmasking plots to scare people with fake supernatural items for nefarious purposes), and have this deviate from the formula so much.
This seems derivative of much other pop culture items, but not in a fun way. The goblin ball music is totally a take off of "zoot suit riot"; the headless horseman is uncredited but seems plugged in for no good reason here; and the Hayden Pannetiere "tinkerbell" fairy creature, including magic pixie dust, was just a rip off of the Peter Pan/Tinkerbell craze right now. And of course, "The Amazing Krudski" seems a take-off of "The Amazing Kreskin" of the 1970s, which I doubt anyone except magic buffs would get.
Having Wayne Knight, Lauren Bacall (!), Jay Leno, Wallace Shawn, Casey Casem again, Hayden Pannetieri, Tim Curry, and Jim Belushi was great plus-- what great talent there is here! The story was mostly Shaggy and Scooby which is a bummer. I mean, Scooby and Shaggy in Drag as Velma and Daphne? Why bother when Velma and Daphne are hardly in this movie at all?
The story didn't really care to follow the plot and became a series of unconnected scenes without really any attention to logic at all, and the end seemed rushed 7) The lack of Velma was deafening.
At the end of the day, it was fun to watch but forgettable after a few days. I should note that my four year old son found that this quickly replaced "Where's my Mummy" as his favorite Scooby Doo movie ever. If he had his way, he would have given this five stars. ;-)
Another Scooby Hit! May 13, 2009
MommaMia (NY)
Scooby has been a faithful companion since my early years in the 70's...every Saturday morning I would adjust my chore schedule so I could be in the tv room right when Scooby started, and I still adore him, as do my own children. The Goblin King is great fun, and if you love Scooby, you won't be disappointed. I think Casey Kasem still does his thing in this particular movie, I'm not sure. Now that's a blast from my past! Enjoy this family fun movie!
