Featured reviews
Not one of Disney's worst movies like Mulan (2020), Artemis Fowl, The Wild (2006), Underdog (2007), Mars Needs Moms, Strange Magic or the bad Disney direct to video sequels which are The Return Of Jafar to The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning, it was based on the Disney cartoon named Doug and his pal Skeeter who need to find a monster that lurks in the lake of the ducks or something, the title is misleading, but at least the music is all right, not one of Disney's poor attempts to be funny, but i think it is one of the worst movies from 1999 along with South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. I know that South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut is not from Disney, it's from Comedy Central but clearly is just a poorly written mess.
This is one of those kids' films that adults can't sit down and watch as well. Okay, it's got nice morals, but pleeeeease, no DOUG'S 2ND MOVIE !!!!! Boring attempt to stretch a tiny DOUG episode into a feature-length production...didn't work. 4/10
I saw this movie when I was a kid. I grew up watching the Nickeleon Doug but didn't see much of the Disney Doug.
At first I seemed to enjoyed it from the first time seeing it.
But years later I didn't felt like watching it again.
Getting the VHS was a waist of money if I didn't bother in watching it again.
This has to do with Doug and Skeeter trying to solve there monster in the Lucky Duck Lake mystery. They encounter the monster who's more friendly than it seems. They were going to show it to the public but didn't bother since the creature would get captured and imprisoned. Mr. Bluff over hears about it and has sent out agents to locate the creature, blah blah blah.
I thought it be great bu it stank. Disney ruined Doug for the last time.
Those who only like the Nickeleon Doug keep away from this movie if you dislike the Disney Doug. It just isn't the same as it was from the early 90s.

A few decent moments, but 'Doug's 1st Movie' is largely flat.
If you like the television series from Nickelodeon/Disney then you'll probably enjoy this, though for those who haven't - including me - it's a meh watch. The animation is average, while the voice cast are mostly fine but some are a little irritating. Plot-wise it's basic and rather predictable.
Tom McHugh (Doug) and Constance Shulman (Patti) are alright in their respective roles, though Fred Newman is kinda annoying as Skeeter. The film doesn't do anything to make you actually care for the characters, so I can cut the cast some slack in that regard.
There's not really much more to note. Some will like this, some won't... I can understand both sides to be fair. For me, though, it is all too slow.

This Doug movie was very much in keeping with the TV show BUT, Billy West who does the voice for Doug on the TV show didn't do the movie. I'm not sure why, but it was the first thing I noticed and it annoyed me through the whole movie that the "real" Doug had been replaced.
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally planned as a direct-to-video release under the working title, "The First Doug Movie...EVER!". However, based on the box office success of The Rugrats Movie (1998), Disney decided it was best to give the film a theatrical release.
- GoofsWhen Doug finds the newspaper article stating that the monster was destroyed, he mentions that it is 'next week's paper' but starts to feel sad because he thinks Herman's dead, despite the fact that he clearly stated it was to be 'next week's paper'.
- Quotes
Guy Graham: [about the news article that Doug had] Who gave you that?
Patti Mayonnaise: [scoffs] How could you!
Guy Graham: Oh, please. All this fuss over a big stinky lizard? I may throw up. We're outta here. You're coming or what?
[he grabs Patti's arm]
Patti Mayonnaise: Guy.
Guy Graham: What?
Patti Mayonnaise: You're outta here!
[she pushes Guy the dock into shallow water, and he leaves in defeat]
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits, we see the Jumbo Pictures studio logo and in the background we hear the whistle of the Doug theme song.
- Alternate versionsThe Disney Movie Club-exclusive DVD features the 1:15:31 TV edit, which is sped up (aka time compressed) and contains fade-ins and fade-outs to accommodate the inclusion of commercials.
