Reviews:

LEGO Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood turned out to be a pretty fun outing. It may be a tad long for your average Scooby-Doo adventure, but the clever script and the LEGO animated stylings keep it fun for kids of all ages.” High-Def Digest

” …doesn’t so much tell a story as set up repeated opportunities for inside jokes, one-liners, bad puns, frantic flight from monsters and, of course, massive consumption of food by Shaggy and Scooby-Doo […] Haunted Hollywood too often feels like a half-hour plot padded to feature length. Even kids should be able to spot who’s “haunting” Brickton Studios long before the final reveal.” Blu-ray.com

LEGO Scooby-Doo: Haunted Hollywood is a decently entertaining Scooby-Doo spin-off with LEGO thrown into the franchise mix. While the film isn’t amongst the best recent Scooby-Doo efforts, it’s worth checking out for fans and should at least be worth seeing once.” DVD Talk

“The LEGO humour is dominant, as you would expect, but the character of the Scooby gang and the conventions of a Scooby-Doo mystery are all present and correct too, right down to the Mystery-Inc era running joke of Fred setting elaborate but rubbish traps.” Daddacool

LEGO Scooby-Doo!: Haunted Hollywood is an enjoyable movie that is mostly aimed at kids. The story is similar to every other Scooby-Doo story that’s been turned into a film or episode but the LEGO version retains all of the humour and high jinks that you’d expect from the loveable dog and his friends.” Entertainment Focus
