Jinkies! Scooby Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur Review

Scooby doo has always been a family favorite of ours; I loved it growing up as a kid and even now love it. All of my kids love Scooby Doo just as much as I did when I was younger. With Halloween coming up it’s one of our favorite movies to watch around Halloween. The best part is that it doesn’t scare my children like some ghost cartoons do. The kids love it and laugh so hard at Scooby and Shaggy that they don’t have time to be scared. They love participating in the movie as well. Big K and J love trying to solve the mystery before Scooby and the gang do that they try and make a game out of it. Big J loves dinosaurs and this movie was perfect for him. He loved that he got to learn about a dig site with Scooby and the gang along. Scooby-Doo Legend of the Phantosaur is a fun movie for everyone.



What’s creepier than a dinosaur? A ghostly dinosaur! Just ask Scooby-Doo and his pals after they encounter a Phantosaur, one of the creepiest creatures ever, in Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur, the all-new, must-have, original movie from Warner Home Video (WHV). Viewers will want to join in the high-jinks and fun with the lovable Great Dane and the Scooby-Doo gang as they investigate a strange haunting that’s plaguing a group of paleontologists searching for ancient fossils. Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur will be available in stores September 6, 2011 and will retail for $19.98 SRP and Blu-ray™ Combo for $24.98 SRP.

What begins as a relaxing spa getaway for Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne, somehow takes a very strange turn when the gang uncovers a frightening Phantosaur, a ghostly dinosaur that’s come to life to protect hidden treasures buried in secret desert caves. The Phantosaur appears to be on a mission to keep a group of paleontologists from digging for fossils. The gang sets out to investigate the prehistoric haunting and in the process, uncover all sorts of colorful suspects including a free-wheeling motorcycle gang, greedy corporate investors and over-zealous scientists. Will it be prehistoric panic or will our teenage sleuths put all the pieces together and solve this strange mystery?



“Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur offers a perfect blend of mystery and fun designed to entertain both kids and adults,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, WHV Executive Marketing Director of Family & Animation Franchise.
