It does have Scrappy, for warning, but it seems to have him along with the understanding that people don't really like him as much as they used to.It's also Scooby Doo made in the 1980s that still feels like its set in the 1970s so there is another rather odd feeling with this, not unlike the feeling that Scooby Doo goes to Hollywood leaves one with.And it seems to debate if it's a movie or a cartoon and can't decide which, so a lot of it has a rushed half-an-hour feel despite its actual length.But, it's still funny. The humor is still there even if it's dated and it is still a lot of fun to watch.The only real problem is that it can't seem to decide it it's a cartoon or a cartoon movie and because of that a good chunk of the film feels like it's just thrown in there.

Scooby-Doo is one of those animated series that was never REALLY funny in the first place, but its charm made it worth watching (also the plot of the originals were better) but the problem is that Scooby-Doo and the reluctant werewolf tries to cater to really young audiences and has no plot to it whatsoever other than Shaggy is racing monsters in a race. One of the big issues in this is that is reuses the same footage over and over again for the racing sequences. This means instead of watching an animated race with diversity, it shows pretty much the same animations (clips) over and over again to keep within budget restraints. The humor in this Scooby-Doo gives me a headache... they use puns... really really lame puns for almost the ENTIRE film. And since this "episode" is 45 minutes longer than it needs to be, the puns start to really get to you. In summary: Scooby-Doo and the reluctant werewolf isn't funny, is too long, has no mystery, and has no reason to be watched. Oh yeah and Scooby and Shaggy are the only main characters in it. Scappy (sadly) is in it along with some random girlfriend named Googie. Ugh...

This time, Count Dracula forces Scooby-Doo and Shaggy to come to his castle to participate in a race with a bunch of other monsters, since the werewolf has retired and Shaggy is due to become the next one.The best part is the race itself, as the monsters pull all sorts of tricks to undermine their opponents' performances. Throughout the movie, I kept wondering why Dracula ever hired Crunch and Bunch to begin with*, given how they pretty much do what Wile E. Coyote always does. Well, Bunch is tolerable, but Crunch would have driven me nuts.So, there's probably nothing special about "Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf", but it's OK for a few laughs. I seem to recall a different one where Shaggy and Scooby go to a castle and the owner gives Shaggy a medallion that turns him into a werewolf.*Similarly, why did the Skipper ever hire Gilligan in the first place, given what a disaster area the latter is?

This tv movie is only slightly funny because of Scooby Doo and Shaggy. They actually have an interesting plot and very surprisingly, Scrappy Doo doesn't ruin it. The monsters are also amusing. Certainly not Scooby Doo's best, but much better than Ghoul School or Boo Brothers.
