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

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 have ever seen. The Hunch Bunch tries to stop Shaggy from winning, too, by order of Count Dracula. Even though Daphne, Fred, and Velma are not in it, it's still an excellent movie. If Shaggy wins the race, he gets to turn back into a human. They do everything they can to stop from losing. If you love Scooby-Doo the way I do, then you will really love this movie. The movie is 93 minutes long, but very fast moving, and very fun. If Shaggy and the others win, they get to go back home, too. I've watched this movie enough times to know that it is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's really interesting, and kids and grown-ups will like it a lot. Buy it!

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 is turned into a werewolf and in Wacky Racers style have to win a crazy race to get changed back.

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 caper, and the whole gang is not there. It was nice to see Scooby and Shag have some limelight alone, though, and Scrappy and Googie (girlfriend of Shaggy) filled in the support roles.
For a late night laugh with no shady humor or bathroom jokes, it was great. And I would feel safe letting any age kids watch this, as it is clearly make-believe monsters that spoof other TV personalities. Kids may miss that but adults will love it. Try "Vanna Pira" assisting Drac as an announcer. If only the newer shows were so clean and classy!
