Sure, this is essentially just another run-of-the-mill Scooby-Doo adventure. And yes, it follows that exact recipe to the letter. But hey, that is the charm of the Scooby-Doo adventures and franchise, now isn't it? Sure it is.
I sat down in 2020 to watch the 2012 "Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays" for the first time. And I must say that we were both enjoying it, and I will say that this 2012 animated movie, while being only 22 minutes, was actually one of the more entertaining and wholehearted Scooby-Doo installments for my liking.
The villain in this particular adventure was rather cool - pardon the pun. Well, of course you know the outcome of the haunting from the moment the movie starts. But this particular villain had some nice tricks and effects, and it was definitely one of the more interesting of villains I have seen in the franchise for a long time.
The characters are the ones we all love, so you will feel right at home with the great voice talents of Frank Welker, Mindy Cohn, Grey Griffin and Matthew Lillard.
The animation style and drawing style is that classic Scooby-Doo style that we all have been growing up with, and I think it is a timeless classic actually.
My rating of "Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays" is a seven out of ten stars. This particular Scooby-Doo adventure is well-worth sitting down to watch, despite it being only 22 minutes.
