Parents need to know that this feature is simply a longer version of the typical Scooby-Doo television cartoon. Sexuality, language, commercialism, and substance use are non-issues. The only potential red flag is the violence, which is rendered in very comic fashion -- no deaths, no injuries, but plenty of wacky chases. The monster that creates the violence is an evil-looking serpent-like creature and is potentially scary, especially to very young viewers. The film leaves open the possibility that the monster does truly exist, unlike most Scooby-Doo episodes, which typically expose monsters to be hoaxes perpetrated by unhappy humans.
most sea monster movies are known to be scary, but this one wasn't. there are no monsters popping out of the water. no one dies either. this is a very safe movie and it is appropriate for little kids who don't usually get scared. some kids may get scared of the ocean, but that is a rare possibility and will most likely not happen.
When I was a little kid I loved to watch scooby-doo!!! There is nothing wrong with it for kids that are 8 and older. It might scare little kids, but that all. Scooby-Doo is the best!!!
Good movie, follows the typical SD tradition :). The monster could be scary for some kids, and usually the gang is running away from the monster, but I personally don't think it's too scary.
