Scooby-Doo: Loch Ness Monster

More Scooby-Doo!

This trip around we go to the Blake Castle in Scotland. Apparently Daphne's family is just that rich. As the gang arrives Daphne's cousin, Shannon informs them that the Loch Ness monster has been terrorizing things lately ever since the Highland Games were to be held there.

We are quite quickly introduced to our cast of suspects before we get right down to the first chase. This occurs at night when the monster chases Shaggy and Scooby who go in search of a midnight snack. The following day, the group splits up as Shaggy and Scooby check out the town, while the others go out onto the Loch to investigate things. However, both groups are chased at the same time by the monster or as late is revealed, monsters.

We are given yet -another- chase not long after as the gang returns to the lake. This one takes place underwater as they use a submarine to check out some tunnels and try to see what they can find in the way of clues. A little later, a failed chase through a bog let's the gang discover that the one monster is a fake.

As always, Fred has a plan and they set it into motion. There are a few drawbacks though as Daphne and Shannon are taking captive (which seems to be common in the family history) and a fog bank blocks the view of Shaggy and Scooby who are playing the role of decoy on the loch. However, the gang manages to capture the monster and reveals the identity of the person. As the gang leaves after the Highland Games, the real monster briefly shows itself to Scooby.

Not too bad of a film, more enjoyable than the previous "Monster in Mexico" or "Cyber Chase" but it still is nowhere near as entertaining as the first films for the series.
