DVD Reviews of Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights
DVD Review: Cute Cartoons, But They Have Nothing to Do with Scooby Doo!
Summary: 3 Stars
I am kind of surprised that this movie was entitled "Scooby-Doo" as Scooby (Don Messick) and Shaggy (Casey Kasem) are only in the movie for a few brief moments. Scooby & Shaggy are hired to be the new food tasters for a snotty young Caliph, but they eat all of his food so they have to hide in the harem and pretend to be women. Of course, the Caliph picks Shaggy to be his new bride (his glasses are broken), so Shaggy tells him some stories to stall him and persuade him not to marry him. Scooby tells the Caliph the story of Aladdin/Ala-Din featuring Yogi Bear as the genie and the Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor featuring Magilla Gorilla. Both of them are cute stories that have lots of funny moments and grand adventures - even a little romance! - but neither one of them are Scooby stories.
I did not like this movie nearly as much as the newer Scooby-Doo movies, but I still gave it 3 stars because the children I watched it with really enjoyed it. It was fast-paced, full of action and changing characters so their attention did not flag. I found the quality was not as high as what I expected from a DVD as the movie looked quite pixilated. The kids did not notice this at all and thought everything was great.
The story of Aladdin is turned into Ala-Din as a woman finds the genie's lamp and rescues the prince from the evil vizier. Yogi (Greg Burson) & Boo-Boo (Don Messick) were very cute genies and I enjoyed watching them try and persuade everyone who got the lamp to wish for food. The Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor was pretty funny. Magilla Gorilla (Allan Melvin) thinks he is going on a luxury cruise ship, but he really ends up sailing with Sinbad (Allan Melvin) by mistake. Sinbad cons Magilla into going on a scavenger hunt for all of the treasures he wants to find. It was pretty funny to see what the characters got up to, but the story is fairly simplistic - and well known - for adults. If you have young children who like watching animated feature-length films, then they will enjoy this. If you are Scooby-Doo fan, you do not need to watch this as he is only in the movie for about 10 - 15 minutes tops.
