Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island
In Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island, when Scooby and the gang win a holiday on a tropical island, they’re under orders to relax – but the island is more swamp-like than tropical and the hotel seems awfully familiar. And then there’s that creepy werecat thing… But, no, they must not, under any circumstances, investigate the strange happenings piling up around them! Unless of course, the weird, the creepy, and the downright freaky comes to them first.
Recommended for ages 7+, this direct sequel to the beloved 1998 film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is voiced by multi-award-winning Scooby-stalwarts Frank Welker (as Scooby-Doo and Fred), Grey Griffin (as Daphne), Matthew Lillard (as Shaggy), and Kate Micucci (as Velma), with Cassandra Peterson as Elvira.
