Scooby scholars of the old-school set will find much in the Reluctant Werewolf to give them pause. For one thing, Scrappy and Googy, Shaggy's girlfriend, are subbed for missing members of the Mystery Machine gang, and for another, instead of making like bananas and splitting from the monster at the center of a mystery, this crew slides, peel-style, into a strange circus of benign spooks, no meddling involved. The reluctant werewolf is Shaggy; he's forced to finish first in a monster road race if he wants to rid himself of his fangs and facial fur (a dirty trick played on him by Dracula). A truckload of shenanigans, mostly screwball car tricks, ensue. Wacky wordplay works up a handful of howls here, but not enough to make this full-length feature worth tuning into twice or, ultimately, rescuing from the Scooby-Don't pile. --Tammy La Gorce

Rating: - Kids love it, parents will cringe
Ahh the pain of being a parent... you will truly feel it when you child finds this movie. Now I have sat through untold hours of Scooby Doo and can enjoy most of them even on the 800th viewing... now let me tell you the bad news: This movie is Terrible, but your kids are going to love it and want to watch it over and over again.

First, there is no mystery, no gang, and no unmasking. The music is repetitive so even if you are in the next room you will feel the pain. The basic story ... Read More

Rating: - monster race and Shaggy has a girl
I was very happy to watch this again recently. There is such a difference in content between modern cartoons like Shrek and even All Dogs Go to Heaven. The difference between this and the "live" Scooby movies is incredible. This is so much more true to the original series. It would be great social commentary to measure the hows and whys.
Anyway, this is an entertaining, clever story about Shaggy getting chosen to be the werewolf driving in Dracula's monster race. No, there is no mystery ... Read More

Rating: - TERRIBLE - a repackaged movie from the worst in American animation
My family is a big fan of the new Scooby Doo movies - we also love the original series. This movie falls somewhere in-between as a really crummy homage to the Wacky Races. This is a really crummy movie and your kids will be bored to tears. Try the Loch Ness Monster movie or the one about the Mummy - both are awesome.

Rating: - A 7-year-old's review
This is one of my favorite movies. A race car driver, Shaggy, gets turned into a werewolf by The Hunch Bunch, whom Dracula sends because he needs a werewolf to drive in the road race in Transylvania. I like when Count Dracula does everything he can to stop Shaggy from winning. Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Googy, and Scrappy are stuck in a creepy, haunted castle. How can they win against so many obstacles? Googy and Scrappy help the others in a really cool red car. This movie was the best Scooby-Doo movie I ... Read More

Rating: - Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf
A great classic Scooby doo movie than fans of old Hanna-Barbara storyline will enjoy. The only reason I give it 4 stars out of 5 is the one problem I always had with story concept. Dracula needs a werewolf but a midget werewolf is seen among Dracula's crew of monsters throughout the entire film. From kid to adult that always bugged me a bit. It a wonderful story where Shaggy wears his alternate red shirt and Googie his girlfriend is a great new character to the Scooby Universe. In them movie shaggy ... Read More
