While on vacation in Australia, Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc gang attend a music festival held at Vampire Rock. But the music goes flat when the gang learns that a legendary Australian creature called the Yowie Yahoo is kidnapping the musical acts and turning them into vampires...

Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire is a new animated feature which fits neatly into the good old Scooby-Doo mould. No Scrappy-Doo, just the five gang members on the trail of a spooky ghost.

Casey Kasem reprises his role as Shaggy but Scooby's voice is not the same, sadly. Jane Wiedlin (remember her old hit Rush Hour?) lends her vocal talents to a couple of the songs as well as playing one of the characters.

While adults may get bored easily with the movie, I'm sure that kids will want to watch it again and again.

The disc has a nice collection of extras including a rather silly commentary track with Shaggy, Scooby and Fred and some fun games for the little ones to play - including the Monster Factory where you can make your own monster.

The whole production seems to drag a little and I think that the original show format of 20 minutes would have been long enough for this adventure. Not one of the best Scooby-Doo stories by any stretch of the imagination, but kids will love it all the same.
