Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy! (2006) 7/10

Starring : Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle
Director : Chuck Sheetz
Running Time : 75 mins

In the tenth of the direct to video Scooby-Doo series, Fred Jones (Welker) is given the present of a mystery cruise for his birthday, on which they are given the opportunity to solve fictional mysteries invented by the crew, and he brings his friends along for the trip. When their cruise ship is attacked by a ghostly pirate galleon, the gang realise that they are now faced with a real mystery and soon get on the case.

I really liked the in jokes about the mystery cruise trying to design mysteries that were too easily solved by Mystery Incorporated, and the ghostly pirate ship is such an old fashioned idea that this feels like a harkening back to the original series. Long-time fans will enjoy this movie because of its retro feel, especially the reasons behind the villains attacks, and younger fans will love the pirates!
