Scooby-Doo: The Movie/Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed



This set contains only Full Screen Films
Just a warning to consumers:

This set is full screen, not the 1.85:1 widescreen that is listed. This is exactly the same as the previously released double feature, just with a different cover.

And I don't get it--the majority of folks who watch DVDs have wide screen TVs these days--"standard" tvs are getting hard to even find in stores! It's almost 2010 for crying out loud--why, do manufacturers even produce "standard" versions of films that were originally wide? Now THAT's a mystery!

ps--I should point out that EVERY online store, including the online Warner DVD store itself, lists the incorrect aspect ratio info on this item. I tried to get this corrected on Amazon, but since I couldn't find a url to attach, they wouldn't change their listing. (Even though I have a copy of the actual dvd in my hand right now and it says very clearly "Full Screen Version"). That's progress for you).

Awesome Set of Scooby Movies
This is a review of the Scooby Doo 1&2 Collection on Blu-ray. They are both widescreen movies and look great. I was in middle school when Scooby Doo was first released in theaters, so I'm heavily biased when I say that the 1st movie is awesome. If you like these two movies even a little and own a blu-ray player, you definitely MUST buy this collection. The picture quality is great and this movie is shot very well with colors that pop. It looks really great on my flat screen. Sound is also great. I think this is a well done blu-ray of these two classic movies. And CGI Scooby looks very nice in HD. Yes, its all in high definition.

The only con I can think of is that the bonus features of the 1st movie was obviously shot in full screen but stretched to widescreen for the blu-ray, and I have yet to figure out how to squeeze it back to the normal aspect ratio.

Overall, I highly recommend this product. These movies are very well made (well at least the 1st one was) and...
