Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The trailers on Cartoon Network and in the Warner videos sparked interest. The dark, foreboding opener of a castle in a thunderstorm - meh, seen it before. Then a monster rips open doors to reveal... Fred, Velma and Daphne - together for the first time in more than 15 years. Thirty seconds later, that oh so beautiful theme song plays - and there was no doubt the Dork Age was over and Scooby Doo was BACK.
 * Complete Monster:
 * A surprisingly small deal is made out of this in the film itself, the details dropped almost offhandedly by  during a Ms. Exposition moment. It's only when you sit and think about him for a while that precisely how much of a bastard this guy would have to be hits you. And does the character LOOK that evil to you? Or act it? Not at all, so you wouldn't suspect a thing...until he transforms into a monster and strikes, embracing his true nature. He's a metaphor for a Serial Killer.
 * Awesome Music: Third Eye Blind's Alternative-Rock version of the Scooby Doo theme at the beginning.
 * Skycycle's It's Terror Time Again. Also an Ear Worm.
 * Skycycle's The Ghost Is Here.
 * First Installment Wins: Oodles of direct-to-video Scooby-Doo films followed the success of this one, but few if any of them earned as much acclaim.
 * Heartwarming Moments


 * Earlier, the gang reuniting and sharing excitement for solving another mystery together.
 * Moe: Well, ain't Lena just the cutest little Southern chick you ever did see?
 * Nightmare Fuel: Quite possibly the first legitimately scary Scooby-Doo story ever. it even has its own page, for pete's sake!
