Sometimes it takes a Scooby scramble to satisfy an entire family, and in the peace-to-all holiday spirit, that's what's on offer here. Winter WonderDog spans the Scooby generations. We scroll through a splattering of Scrappy, where the hotheaded little hound hooks up with Scoob and Shag for a few fits of mystery-free bad-guy nabbing, but the classic Mystery Machine players also pull up for several episodes. In "That's Snow Ghost" they meddle at a spooky ski lodge where a mechanical abominable snowman look-alike's on the loose, and "The Nutcracker Scoob's" lineup links the entire groovy gang minus Velma for an investigation into the ghost of Christmas present, who's spooking an orphanage. It's the snowcapped, red-and-green Scooby-snack wrapped, all-era caper-scraper that'll see Scooby fans of all stripes circling the tube. The sort of spirits it ushers in may not be standard issue, but the jinkies-generating snooping and sleuthing are. --Tammy La Gorce

 Scooby-Doo Blu-Ray Version September 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the Blu-Ray version because it was a reasonable price and I already had a full-screen copy of the DVD that drove me nuts to watch on a widescreen TV. This pretty much says I already enjoyed the flick. It's mindless and fun, and that's what makes it entertaining.
There is definitely better picture quality with the Blu-Ray version when compared to the standard DVD. There is far more pixelating in the standard DVD that is non-existent in the Blu-Ray version. But, the Blu-Ray version is not as flawless as it should be. Any flaws existing in the original film at the time of transfer (or flaws created during the transfer itself) will make their way to the high-def disc.
I noticed a lot of very "active" backgrounds in many of the early scenes. So much so, it's almost distracting. At one point, Shaggy's green shirt even seems to be "moving". But, later in the movie, everything looks stable and sharp as Blu-Ray should be. This suggests to me that either the original movie has some flaws, or the there was some kind of issue with the transfer process itself. Maybe there's some kind of compression going on???
All in all though, for $14 from Amazon, I would still recommend the Blu-Ray version. Just go into it without an image of perfection. Sit back, don't be critical and enjoy the flick.
 Get over it! June 22, 2008
Come on people,you're tearing this movie to pices!It's really good!Lots of people say that Sara Michele Gellar shouldn't play Dafnie,but I think she should!I'm 9 now and I saw this movie when I was 3.I was petrafied,butit is still an awsome movie!I think it's better than the second.Acutally,I just ordered a scooby doo double feature with scooby doo on one side of the disk and scooby doo 2 on the other.

I really think they could have done much better computer graphics with Scooby. The rest of the main cast do a pretty good job. Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardinelli are so believable it is a bit scarry. Sarah Michelle Geller and Freddie Prince Jr. do a fair job but this is not some of their better work.
I know I know it is a recreation of a cartoon but I expected a lot better. I think there is a story here that would be a good movie but I think they either did not have the budget they needed to do it right or the director needs to go back to school. The movie does have a few laughs and would do a good job of scaring a 6 or younger but I am not sure parts are appropriate for children of that age. When it breaks down to a fart and burping contest between Shaggie and Scooby I think the movie hits a real low point. It also makes me wonder how desperate they were for footage to leave it in the final cut.
I gave it three stars because I did find some entrainment in it and my 9 year old has liked it for a couple of years. I would have only given it two stars if I were reviewing it for the older crowd above the age of 20 at least.
I am not sure if HD DVD helps or hinders it. I am still trying to figure out what we ever saw in VHS after seeing DVD's and now that I have seen HD even up converted movies don't stack up at times. So if your just trying to find movies to get a collection going or if you have a kid this is not a bad investment but if you want to save a few bucks I would suggest getting this and the Scooby Doo two movie together for the price you would be a bit ahead and save your money for action, science fiction, or music that would look and sound incredible on HD DVD.
 Why would they put this on Blu-Ray? November 24, 2007

I've been going through the list of 562 Blu-Ray titles offered on Amazon, and have to say I'm disappointed. So many heavy-hitters have not been released, and so much junk has. Sadly this film falls into the latter category.
Scooby-Doo had alot of potential--the CGI Scooby was done pretty well, the rest of the gang was fairly well-cast, and the actor who played Shaggy was all but perfect for the role. But the plot is terrible--I bought the DVD, watched it once, and have never wanted to watch it again. I can't understand why movies like this even see release on a format that is still very new--why waste money putting out junk like this when there are much better movies that haven't seen release? In my opinion (and that's all it is), a good 1/4 or 1/5 of the Blu-Ray titles available are like that. I just scratch my head trying to figure out who would *want* something like that in hi-def. Maybe if you have alot of money to waste, I guess.
Scooby-Doo is the kind of movie to buy from the discount DVD rack for $5, knowing not to expect much. It's B-movie fare, sort of fun--but not worth having in hi-def.
Hopefully the video format war won't drag on for too long--then movie studios can get down to releasing more of the big-name films they're currently holding back on.
