Plot Synopsis: When Scooby (DON MESSICK), Scrappy (MESSICK) and Shaggy (CASEY KASEM) are hired as coaches at Miss Grimwold’s Finishing School, they soon discover to their horror that they’re not teaching at a girls’ school… they’re teaching at a ghouls’ school – home of the daughters of rich and famous monsters, like Winnie the Werewolf, Elsa Frankenstein, Sibella Dracula and the Mummy’s daughter. Quick Hit Review: Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School was a made-for-television movie from 1988 but it’s one that’s missing Fred, Daphne and Velma, and frankly also missing any sort of mystery and instead is a hodge-podge of a plot that mainly focus on Scooby and Shaggy’s interactions with the children of classic monsters. This is a watchable enough of a film I suppose but unlike “Scooby-Doo: Where Are You?”, where both adults and kids can appreciate the humor, the comedy here seems aimed at a younger audience as I found myself pretty much bored. |

Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School makes its debut onto Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection and is presented in the original 1.37 full frame aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. For the most part this is a fine looking picture with decent detail for an older animated feature while colors are well balanced as are black levels that are stark without appearing crushed. The movie has a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track that is serviceable and decent for something that aired back in the late 80s. Dialogue comes across with good clarity and there’s a fine level of depth for an animated feature. |
