Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island Blu-ray Review:
Terror Time Edition Is Worth Supporting
-------------------------------------------
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is beloved within the Scooby-Doo fandom
and for good reason. Not only does it have a great premise - what
if the supernatural threat was actually real? - but it was the first
film in the franchise and launched a direct-to-video powerhouse.
Now, more than 25 years after its initial release, the Scooby-Doo on
Zombie Island - Terror Time Collector's Edition Blu-ray celebrates
the animated movie with the respect it deserves.

"Get ready for far-out fun in Scooby-Doo's feature-length animated
movie, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Velma,
Daphne, and Fred reunite to solve the most frightfully funny mystery
of their careers. The scream team's headed to a haunted bayou island
to investigate the ghost of Moonscar the Pirate. But it turns out
the swashbuckler's spirit isn't the only creepy character on the
island. The sleuths also meet up with cat creatures and zombies...
and it looks like, for the first time in their lives, these ghouls
might actually be real. Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island - dishing up
equal portions of music, laughs, thrills, and chills - became one of
the most popular of Scooby's full-length adventures," says the
official description.

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island was a lot of kids' first foray into
horror, and it's a perfect introduction. Featuring zombies,
obviously, and some other surprises, it manages to be a real joy to
watch throughout its 78-minute runtime. Featuring a fun setup of the
gang reuniting after years apart and some hilarious gags and quips,
it's just a fun and easy watch, no matter what age you are, and has
a great voice cast that includes everyone from Frank Welker and Mark
Hamill to Tara Strong and Jim Cummings.

The Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island Blu-ray is also the best the film
has ever looked. Considering there are a lot of scenes at nighttime,
you really get to appreciate the moody atmosphere and detailed
artwork thanks to the transfer. The DTS-HD 2.0 audio is also a
highlight, which allows fans to enjoy its catchy soundtrack in full,
and it's easy to make out all of the dialogue.

What sets the Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island - Terror Time Collector's
Edition Blu-ray apart is its nice packaging and bonus features.
There's a 12-page booklet included, which features some nicely
printed images, plus an essay on the importance of the film to the
Scooby-Doo franchise. The writer of the essay is Matt Dugan, who
also provides a really fun commentary track. It's filled with a ton
of worthwhile trivia and insights, so even fans who have seen the
film dozens of times will get something out of this rewatch.

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island Blu-ray Review: Final Verdict
If you don't already own the animated movie, then the Scooby-Doo on
Zombie Island - Terror Time Collector's Edition Blu-ray is an easy
recommendation. For diehard fans, the booklet and audio commentary
track make it a must-have. It's one of Scooby's best adventures and
one that is easy to come back to each Halloween season.
