Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

generationofswine It hurts!!!! It hurts!!!! Turn it off it hurts!!!!! OK, so it's not THAT bad, but there are parts of it that do make you feel like you're Linda Blair, strapped to a bed, and getting doused with holy water.So much of it is a big old FAIL that it's hard to believe they released it as a movie and not as, well, a throw away episode of one of the shows.Just run away from this one.

kyle-mcdonald No matter what I will always love Scooby-Doo even if the cartoon leaves me feeling dry, this one wasn't all bad. Right from the beginning I was sceptical about this one, it just seemed off. The movie follows a concept I've always been fascinated with; the Bermuta triangle, but it just lacks the interest I was hoping for, it only has a few good jokes, it feels a bit to dragged out, and it's just way to predictable I knew the whole mystery about 20 mins in, it's a very straight forward cartoon that lacks twists and turns. Regardless of the flaws I found it an OK movie, with an interesting plot and great voice over actors.Scooby and the gang are off to set sail on a tropical mystery themed cruise where they find a mysterious cast away who speaks of a terrifying experience he has had in the Bermuda triangle, where his crew has been abducted by ghost pirates. The gang at first think it is just a part of the mystery themed cruise but they soon realize the cast away speaks the truth and the passengers, the crew all get taken away by the ghost pirates, but this time it's personal as Fred's parents have been taken. The gang is on the case.Let me first off by saying once again I was very pleased by the great talent of the voice over cast. This is one of the biggest reason why this cartoon was merely OK, but also it turned out to be its biggest flaw, you'll see about 20 mins in. Once again we have Frank Welker as Fred and Scooby-Doo, Grey Delisle as Daphne, Mindy Cohn as Velma, and of course Casey Kasem as Shaggy, who all once do a fabulous job. Joining the great voice over cast we have Ron Perlman as Captain Skunkbeard/Biff Wellington, Dan Castellaneta as Mr. Mysterio/Woodenleg Wally, Edie McClurg as Peggy Jones, and Tim Conway as Skip Jones. They all do a wonderful job but in the end it gives the entire mystery away as soon as it starts which left me feeling stale about the whole thing.The storyline the movie follows I found was interesting but I feel it could have been a much better cartoon if they had to go with aliens instead of pirates for the Bermuda triangle but regardless I found it mildly interesting just because it was the Bermuda triangle. The storyline really lacks twists and turns there is only one which is the ending which can be seen a million miles away, there is only a few jokes, and it just seems to dragged out which I hate seeing in a Scooby-Doo cartoon. I feel they could have easily expanded on the mysteries surrounding the Bermuda triangle.All in all an OK cartoon. If you are a Scooby-Doo fan you should at least give it a go once and maybe you will love it, everyone has their own opinions, but in the end for me the only good things were the voice over actors who also made me feel sour about the whole cartoon, and the interesting concept of the Bermuda triangle which could have been explored more. So make sure you really consider renting or buying Scooby-Doo Pirates Ahoy and give it a whirl at least once.Overall score: ***** out of ********** **1/2 out of *****

Shawn Watson I wasn't so keen on watching this Scooby adventure as it has the shortest running time of all of them so far and I figured that it couldn't possibly have a substantial mystery worth taking an interest in.And while that's true for the most part, they do make a huge effort to keep the viewer guessing by throwing in lots of distractions, more so than any other Scooby adventure. And despite it's brief running time it does manage pack in a fair amount of characters and guest voices, so in a sense they give more AND less.The Mystery Inc. gang head off on a tropical cruise for Fred's birthday but things turn sinister when they pick-up a drifter floating in the water. No one believes his tale of ghost pirates (they're on a "mystery cruise" and are becoming quite jaded to the novelty), but only when said pirates show up do they gradually accept that it's real.There's a few more in-jokes than normal in this one too. And while I usually hate in-jokes it's forgivable, and perhaps welcome, in a Scooby-Doo mystery. I am aware that the infamous Bermuda Triangle was the focus of a lower-wattage mystery in the third season of Scooby-Doo back in the early 70s, but this one is considerably better.It looses points for being short, but it's still a worthy mystery.

wile_E2005 I can honestly admit that I don't like "What's New Scooby-Doo" at all, as well as the direct-to-video Scooby movies from 2004 to the present. The last two direct-to-video Scooby movies were not that good. They mostly focused more on Fred, Daphne and Velma, rather than Scooby-Doo himself(who is actually my favorite character!). However, this movie is a slight improvement over the last two. It's still basically an extended-length episode of "What's New Scooby-Doo," but not much like "Aloha Scooby-Doo!" or "Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy." In this installment, Scooby-Doo is given more attention and screen time than the last two in the series! He also has plenty of dialogue, too. When I noticed this as I was watching, I couldn't believe it! The only flaw is, as usual, Frank Welker's Scooby-Doo voice (you know, like Brain from "Inspector Gadget!") I sure hope this isn't Casey Kasem's last time he does Shaggy's voice, what with Scott Menville (aka Robin from "Teen Titans," Larry and Steve from "Rugrats," etc.) starting to do a horrible Shaggy impersonation. However, it's not like Daphne, who sounds a bit like Vicky from "The Fairly Oddparents," and Mindy Cohn providing Velma's newer, slightly dark-sounding voice. However, I thought Fred's parents were pretty goofy (I loved the running gag with their camera flash temporarily blinding people!), and there was that crazy tour guide who reminded me of Ms. Frizzle from "The Magic School Bus." However, they STILL didn't use the old "Castle Thunder" sound effects, like the last three movies! I mean, they used it on a couple of episodes of "What's New Scooby-Doo" and on "Loonatics Unleashed," and since pirate movies tend to have thunderstorms in them, this would've been perfect for it! But I also enjoyed seeing references to classic Scooby villains (not Redbeard, thankfully, but Captain Cutler, the Ghost Clown and a werewolf from an older episode). Also, I am very grateful that they didn't use the gawd-awful new designs from "Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue." That would've sucked! But I am still find it weird they keep using the old 70s Hanna-Barbera logo at the end of the movies. I will say it again: HANNA-BARBERA DID NOT PRODUCE THIS MOVIE! It was all TERMITE TERRACE! Nonetheless, if you liked "Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase" or are just a fan of the new series, you will like this then.
