 Modernism ruins it August 14, 2010

...I bought this DVD so my kid and I could enjoy something, together. The premise seemed cool; Scooby and the gang go to New England to solve a mystery. But, the fact that the producers and writers tried to make being Wiccan, cool, infuriated me. I wonder if they would produce such a movie, shedding the same positive light on Catholics. I have 2 ex-Hollywood friends who agree that secularism has totally taken over film and media. This is just another example of it. Any potential buyers, stick to the original series.
 Ya it mentions Wicca. HOWEVER,... August 10, 2010
Lupita (St. Petersburg, FL)
When I was about 8 years old (Im about to turn 21) they started coming out with new Scooby Doo movies and Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost was my absolute favorite.
I've noticed that a LOT of people have given this movie 1 star because they feel that the wiccan aspects of this film are too much for their children.
I would just like to say this: If you have a child that is very curious and willing to do leg work to gain further information pertaining to wicca and that would bother you as their parent, then I dont suggest letting your kid watch this. I was that type of child but my mother didnt prescreen anything I watched plus the first time I saw this film it was on Cartoon Network.
On the other hand if you have a child that you think will take the movie for what it is and not think a thing of it after its over then I wouldnt worry too much about the wiccan influences.
The thing is, while there are mentions of Wicca, its not totally accurate and kind of sugar coats it. When Velma defines what a Wiccan is she says something to the effect of "Wiccans were healers who used the power of nature". Yes, Wiccans are all about nature and can be into herbal healing but to say that Wiccans are HEALERS and not participants in the RELIGION of Wicca is really sugar coating it for their viewing audience. Also the movie insinuates that to be Wiccan is like being Italian or British or Polish ect. Seriously, Thorn, the lead singer of the Hex Girls, claims to be 1/16 Wiccan. What??
I cant even begin to guess why they decided to throw Wicca into this story. But is it offensive? No. Is it damaging to traditional Christian, Jewish, ect beliefs? No. Is it even accurate and educating its viewers on the religion of Wicca? No! To be honest I truly feel that all the people who gave it 1 star because of the wiccan influences (who I can only assume are serious Christians or Jews or ect) should be glad... this movie actually makes a total mockery of the religion and down plays it to look like something that should be lumped in with mummies, zombies and vampires.
Its a cute movie and fun to watch but if you are concerned that your overly ambitious child is going to research and learn about Wicca, then avoid this movie at all costs!
we LOVE Scooby, but not the PRO-WICCAN message in this one March 22, 2010

My children were particularly scared by the characters in this Scooby-Doo, with the very dark rock music. But we were most disturbed by the pro-wiccan message at the end. Don't buy this movie unless you want your children to think wiccan is a great lifestyle. We watched this once and threw it out - in fact, my 6 year-old threw it out happily for me. We didn't even want to pass it on to someone else. I have always loved Scooby-Doo and the distinction between good guys and bad guys, but the lines are blurred in this one. There are lots of other great Scooby's out there - we really like Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase or Where's My Mummy.
too much propoganda... January 28, 2010

The themes presented in this Scooby Doo movie are not at all age appropriate for the targeted audience. What I used to love about Scooby Doo is that the monsters were never real and in the end the mystery was solved. I wish I had pre-screened this one before letting my 5 y.o. watch it. Bad decision on my part. I'd love to see them put as much Christian propaganda into a Scooby Doo movie as the pro-wiccan propaganda featured in this film.

My two year old is obsessed with scooby doo and a friend gave this video to us and he watches it 5 or 6 times a day and I haven't pulled my hair out it is the best and not irritating like most children programming
