Movies that feel likeScooby-Doo (2002)

When the Mystery Inc. gang is invited to Spooky Island, a popular amusement park, they soon discover that the attractions aren't the only things that are spooky. Strange things are happening, and it's up to Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma to uncover the truth behind the mysterious happenings.

If you loved Scooby-Doo, the closest films we have are Hail, Caesar! (2016), Zero Effect (1998) and The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972). All three share Scooby-Doo's twisty and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Estômago: A Gastronomic Story (2008).
