The plot was very weak Shaggy and Scooby-Doo were only in 15 minutes out of the film's 70-minute running time. etc.), and the video cover artwork made the plot look interesting, but I turned out to be deceived. It had a pretty good-looking voice cast (with Casey Kasem and Don Messick voicing Shaggy and Scooby, and also featuring many other talented voice actors like Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche, Tony Jay, Jennifer Hale, Kath Soucie, Frank Welker. This movie is, unfortunately, one of their worst productions ever. Some of their 1990s stuff was good ("Tom & Jerry Kids," "The Halloween Tree"), and some of it was bad. During the early-to-mid 1990s, however, they began to struggle before they began producing original material for Cartoon Network, having fallen behind by its new competition (Disney and WB's TV animation studios, as well as the Nicktoons). Now, Hanna-Barbera was known for clever cartoons that made up for its limited animation by featuring funny characterizations and sight gags, witty stories, catchy background music, zany sound effects and excellent voice work. This is a re-write of my short, unhelpful review on this movie, as written in August 2010. Reviewed by wile_E2005 1 / 10 One of Hanna-Barbera's biggest failures ever My rating of "Scooby-Doo In Arabian Nights" lands on a three out of ten stars, as this was definitely not what I was expecting. The voice acting in "Scooby-Doo In Arabian Nights" was good. So there was at least that sense of familiarity and comfort to this. The art and animation in "Scooby-Doo In Arabian Nights" is good, and of that archetypical and recognizable Hanna-Barbera style that we all know and love from the "Scooby-Doo!" adventures. But hey, at least my son seemed to enjoy this. So it was a somewhat disappointing movie experience, especially if you expect it to be a full-blown "Scooby-Doo!" adventure. And Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are only parts of the narrative in between the two tales.
Nay, instead we are treated to an animated telling of "Aladdin" and "Sinbad" that stars Yogi Bear and Boo Boo in the "Aladdin" tale and Magilla Gorilla in the "Sinbad" tale. Writers Gordon Kent and Glenn Leopold didn't deliver the archetypical "Scooby-Doo!" adventure here with this 1994 animated movie. And I did so with my 12 year old son, as we both enjoy the "Scooby-Doo!" adventures. So as I stumbled upon it by random chance here in 2022, of course I opted to sit down and watch it. I had never seen nor heard of the 1994 animated movie "Scooby-Doo In Arabian Nights". Reviewed by paul_haakonsen 3 / 10 Different than your average Scooby-Doo! adventure.
