Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island

Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island is a 2019 direct-to-video supernatural mystery comedy film. It is the thirty-third entry in the Scooby-Doo direct-to-video series and a direct sequel to mh:greatestmovies:Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

Plot
Mystery Incorporated is pulled out of retirement to re-investigate an old mystery on Moonscar Island.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It is completely (or rather) pointless, because the previous film had an ending to the point of not needing a direct follow-up.
 * 2) * In addition, the film came out twenty-one years after Zombie Island, so the idea for a sequel was pretty stale.
 * 3) Subpar animation that is a huge downgrade from the original, especially for the zombies and werecats.
 * 4) The main characters (except for Daphne) are not like themselves, as most of them are badly flanderized in almost the same vein as their counterparts from Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!:
 * 5) * Fred has a disturbing obsession with the Mystery Machine.
 * 6) * Velma becomes a loud-mouthed, annoying goody-two-shoes who constantly goes on about how there was an unsolved mystery on Moonscar Island.
 * 7) * Scooby and Shaggy have became ignorant, stubborn and smug jerks, although this can be somewhat justified since they were given the chance for a vacation and the gang agreed to no mysteries.
 * 8) Alan Smithee, based on the pseudonym used by film directors disowning their films, is a really unlikable, greedy, egotistical and irritating character who is nothing more than a wannabe director.
 * 9) * On a side note, the same joke was almost the entire premise of An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn. That is not the kind of movie that you want to rip off.
 * 10) Numerous plot holes and continuity errors, such as Mystery Inc. being teenagers (despite being adults in the original).
 * 11) As a result of the numerous plot holes and the continuity errors, it doesn't really feel like a real sequel to the original movie.
 * 12) The first act of the film is extremely slow-paced and formulaic.
 * 13) Pointless cameo from Elvira.
 * 14) It retcons a major part of the first film: the monsters being real instead of being the usual person in a mask. It feels like Warner Bros. specifically went out of their way to destroy everything that the fans loved about the original Zombie Island.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The voice cast do a good job in their respective roles.
 * 2) * Despite being a pointless cameo as mentioned above, Cassandra Peterson is still great as Elvira.
 * 3) The opening credits are well-done.
 * 4) The idea of Mystery Inc. returning to Moonscar Island to solve an unresolved mystery is pretty interesting, despite the terrible execution.
 * 5) Daphne was the only likable character, who still has her personality. This can be the same thing for Shaggy and Scooby.
