Review Scooby Doo And The Ghoul School [VHS] / Warner Home Video:Inspired by Hanna-Barbera's popular cartoon series, Scooby-Doo stars in Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, his second full-length film (made in 1988). Shaggy has accepted a job as a gym teacher at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls, a gothic girls' school that instructs the daughters of frightfully famous monsters such as Dracula, Werewolf, Mummy and Frankenstein. Once Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy get over their spooky welcome, they settle into academic and athletic routines (like scarobic exercises) and enjoy an otherworldly relationship with the delightful Miss Grimwood and her gals. Shaggy prepares his students for a big volleyball tournament against the boys' military academy next door, a setup for all sorts of ghoulish gimmicks. And, of course, there's Back to School Night, where the girls' parents attend an enjoyable Who's Who event of monstrous proportions. Meanwhile, amid all the happy hauntings, Revolta, the Witch of the Web, is scheming to be "the most feared name in the monster world" and to make the girls' school "part of her evil team forever". In a final showdown, the boys and girls must join together to combat the evil Revolta and her spider-bat flunkies. This predictable modern-day cartoon is a disappointing departure from Scooby's classic 1970s episodes, those campy detective romps that were full of lunacy and quirky humour and sprinkled with slapstick suspense. Scooby-Doo fans will also miss his wacky cohorts Freddy, Daphne and Velma, as well as their invincible Mystery Machine. At least the original voices remain the same, namely Don Messick as Scooby and Casey Kasem as Shaggy. [+]

Review Scooby Doo - Hassle In The Castle [VHS] / First Independent Video:A lot has changed since the original 70s-era gang of Scooby-Doo fans gave way to today's followers of the hipster mystery cartoon series. Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders contains all the familiar elements; even the groovy green Mystery Machine makes a comeback, but it isn't as reliable as it used to be. At the outset of Alien Invaders, it breaks down, leaving the crime-solving crew stranded in a creepy desert town overrun by aliens. From there, the plot unwinds faster than Scooby can down a box of his namesake snacks. A band of swollen-headed purple and green space guys-Zoinks-send the terrified teens scrambling for cover, but it's not long before the quick-witted gang figures out that there's a team of bad guys behind the bug-eyed masks. That's not to say, though, that real-life aliens aren't also roaming the streets, as Shag and Scoob (who hook up in an unprecedented Scooby-Doo romance with a peace sign-wearing babe and her equally hip dog) discover in the course of clearing out of the phoney aliens' hair-raising path. To longtime viewers, the love angle seems unsettling; it steals from the tightness of the mystery team. Still, with so much creepy fun to get caught up in, it's a minor complaint. Scott Innes, the modern-day voice of both Shaggy and Scooby, nails both parts, and Jennifer Love Hewitt fans also will want to tune in-she sings the Scooby theme song. -Tammy La Gorce, Amazon. [+]

Review Ice Age [VHS] [2002] / 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment:The funny and often enthralling Ice Age is a digital re-imagining of the Western Three Godfathers just as A Bug's Life was a computer-animated comedy inspired by Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai. The heroes of this unofficial remake (set 20,000 years ago, during the titular Paleolithic era) are a taciturn mastodon named Manfred (voiced by Ray Romano), an annoying sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo) and a duplicitous, sabre tooth tiger, Diego (Denis Leary). The unlikely team encounters a dying human mother who relinquishes her chirpy toddler to the care of these critters. Hoping, against all odds, to return the little guy to his migrating tribe, Manfred and his associates require trust between themselves, not an easy thing in a harsh world of predators, prey and pushy glaciers. If audiences have become accustomed to the rounded, polished, storybook look of Pixar's house brand of computer animation (Monsters, Inc. ), the blunt edges and chilly brilliance of Ice Age-evoking the harsh, dangerous environment of a frozen world-are a wholly different, and equally pleasing, trip. -Tom Keogh.
