Scooby Doo and The Witch's Ghost (Warner Bros Blu=-ray Review)

It has been almost 60 years since Scooby-Doo first appeared on our TV Screens. And after all these years, the mystery-solving pup and his friends still remain popular. That's why Scooby-Doo series and movies are being released on Blu-ray all the time.

Recently, we saw the series Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc. come to Blu-ray. But now it is time for a new release. Warner Bros. is releasing 1999's Scooby-Doo and The Witch's Ghost as a super deluxe Blu-ray. Scooby-Doo fans are going to love this!

Synopsis: When the gang meets up with famous fright-writer Ben Ravencroft, he invites them to New England for his hometown's big Autumn Harvest Festival. Things take a supernatural detour when they learn the place is haunted -- by Ben's ancestor Sarah! Will the mystery reveal that Sarah was a good-hearted healer...or a spell-casting witch? Grooving to the tunes of the movie's rocking band, "The Hex Girls," and Billy Ray Cyrus performing the Scooby-Doo theme song, it's Scooby-Doo at his spellbinding, spine-tingling, super-sleuthing best!

This Scooby-Doo adventure is a very fast-paced 77 Minute movie and a fun one for both adults and kids alike. Now, for fans of the classic TV series, this one may feel a bit different. The spirit of the characters is all there; it's more the animation that feels off to me. Not that it's bad; it's just not Hanna-Barbera animation. Audiences in this generation, however, will love this film.

Warner Bros. has transferred Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost to Blu-ray in 1080p, and it is presented in the original 1.33;1 aspect ratio. The audio track is English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo. Finally, there are English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Special Features:
* Hex Girls Song with Music Video -- performed by Scott Innes
* Interview with Scott Innes
* Commentary by Shawn Chatfield, Derrick Acosta & Rocco Botte ("Mega64")
* Making-of Featurette
* Trailer

In addition to the above-mentioned on-disc bonus features. Warner Bros. gives this release a slipcover and a 14"x 17" two-sided poster suitable for framing. This truly is one of the better Scooby-Doo releases we have seen in quite a while.

So if you love Scooby-Doo mysteries, you might want to add the Blu-ray of Scooby-Doo and The Witch's Ghost to your home video library. Head over to MovieZyng or Amazon today.
