With its irresistible blend of camp, comedy and creepiness, Scooby-Doo has entertained generations on television, home video and recently the on the big screen. Fans can now look forward to Warner Home Video’s release of Aloha Scooby-Doo!, an all-new, full-length animated feature coming to DVD and VHS on Feb. 8.
Aloha Scooby-Doo! finds the Mystery, Inc. in Hawaii, where a big surfing contest is disrupted by the grumblings of a nearby volcano and the disappearance of a star surfer. Scooby and those meddling kids must battle the mysterious “Wiki-Tiki” and attempt to solve the mystery before the volcano erupts. The pic features the voices of Casey Kasem, Tia Carrere, Mario Lopez and Teri Garr.
Special DVD features include a National Geographic featurette on Hawaii, surfing and ancient customs; an interactive challenge with multiple levels; a Q&A session with the Scooby gang; and an original soundtrack featuring songs from Don Ho and Dick Dale.
The last direct-to-video Scooby-Doo adventure, Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster, was recently nominated for an Annie Award. It will compete for Best Home Entertainment Production with the Disney releases Lion King 1-1/2 and Mickey, Donald & Goofy: The Three Musketeers when the awards ceremony is held on Jan. 30 in Glendale, Calif. Aloha Scooby-Doo! will be available for $24.98 on DVD and $14.94 on VHS.
