      Okay

      Personally, I think "Doug's 1st Movie" was boring and a waste of time. I think when the Doug TV Series was on Nick was good, then Disney came in. Probably kids from the ages of 4-9 will be able to sit through this movie, and maybe their parents, but nobody else. It was okay though I guess, I'm sure the younger kids probably liked it and it still has problems that everyone can relate to. But come on, what was up with that monster? And why did they have to show those people giving it a shot?(well, I felt sick!). I would give it 4 stars out of 10. And by the way, why was Disney's "Doug" TV series canceled that same year? And why the heck was the movie PG? Oh well!

      Disney ruined Doug for good.

      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.

      Very basic but somehow engaging

      This is a very "basic" kind of animated movie. It feels like an extended TV show episode with low stakes, lacklustre animation and nothing particularly exciting. In this way, it reminds me of the first Hey Arnold! movie. The characters are stupid, the events are meandering and the cutaway gags are long and distracting. The moral of the story is drowned out in contrived drama and bizarre and cliché antics. Yet somehow I was quite engaged with the emotional arc of the characters so I can't fault it too much.

      One of the most forgettable movies ever

      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.

      Groan

      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

      Edit
      • Trivia
        Originally 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.
      • Goofs
        When 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 credits
        At 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 versions
        The 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.
