Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!

Where do I start. I have always loved this film, but rewatching it recently... I like this era of scooby doo, fred and daphne's outfits, the animation style etc... Buttttt the villains intentions are rubbish! I love the hypnotyising idea but his real reason for doing so isnt the best. I enjoyed the cruise setting. Plus the taking of Freddies parents is actually pretty spooky. The ghost pirates are also quite scary too! The fog... I did enjoy this film just dont think i remember it very well. Now, if your into pirates and scooby doo this film is for you! Its deffo worth the watch but it isnt the best. Saying that though, i rated this film a 5/10. I like the story line just not the villains plans.

This movie was fantastic! I have honestly been waiting for another great Scooby movie to come around since the past ones (other than the mummy one) have been awful. Pirates Ahoy brought the fun and excitement I missed with these movies. Every character and scene was important and flowed with the story well. The story was an awesome idea with the Scooby gang going on a mystery cruise and being surprised when an actual mystery came around. The animation was great and never disappointed along with the voice actors/actresses. Overall I really liked it and had a blast.

One of my favourite Scooby Doo films!! The musical score combined with the exciting chase scenes really keep the fun during the film. The voice cast (as always) bring life to the story. The actual story line is amazing, filled with classic scooby doo twists and turns. Combined with a touch of the mysterious, this one is definitely worth the watch! It's still enjoyable after nearly 20 years for both parents and kids - and all inbetween! Scooby Doo is a classic in itself and this film is no exception, plus who doesn't love a good pirate story? It keeps all watchers entertained and I will continue to revisit this film for years to come.

To begin Freddy's parents are really annoying esp his mother but so is Tim Conway. Always have loved Ron Perlman. The spooky Lorre hypnotist gets old. Why does no one do a Dwight Frye impersonation? Always its Lorre. Mystery Cruise the gang go on. Brought up a few old monsters like Captain Cutler & the Wolfman who smuggled sheep. Skunkbeard is a cross between Morgan Moon Scar & Red Beard. Its cute while they are in a Cave Shaggy is looking for the light switch. I do that often enough. Good pirate music. The sighting of the USS Cyclops was pretty cool. The showdown is cute. And Scooby & Shaggy save the day. Shaggy has balance as good as me, when he tried to use the mop. Love it.

I really enjoyed Scooby Doo: Pirates Ahoy! and I honestly think it is one of the better movies in the Scooby Doo franchise. Like any film with pirates, it was fun, colourful and hugely enjoyable, and my only complaints are that it is too short, and I wasn't hugely keen on Frank Welker's Scooby voice, I much prefer Don Messick. Still, the animation is very colourful, and the music is great. I loved the plot, about the gang cruising in the Bermuda Triangle, and falling foul of ghost pirates. The voice acting was fantastic, Casey Kasem is just a hoot as Shaggy, and Dan Castallenetta was excellent as Magician Mysterio. Ron Perlman was not only charming as Biff Wellington, but deliciously sinister as the villainous pirate captain, and his laugh was quite scary- and I thought Tim Curry's Pennywise's laugh was scary. All in all, despite a couple of minor flaws, an unexpected delight for Scooby Doo fans, a similar thing I said about last year's Goblin King, and I do recommend it. 8/10 Bethany Cox
