Common Sense Media says

"Those meddling kids" encounter brief alien scares.

  • Educational value1
    Kids will learn a little about how scientists search for alien life -- and how unglamorous it is to sit listening to static all day.
  • Positive messages2
    Like all Scooby-Doo adventures there's value placed in getting to the bottom of every mystery and bringing wrongdoers to justice.
  • Positive role models2
    The gang helps out a small town living in fear of aliens. Les, the stereotypical crazy old man no one listens to, takes Scooby-Doo and friends in when they are stranded. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo gorge themselves on food in the diner.
  • Violence & scariness2
    Scooby-Doo and Shaggy think they are abducted by aliens. Wires are hooked up to their heads on a ship and they're told that they will be released after a physical examination. They're chased around with something that looks like a Taser, and then they pass out and wake up in the desert. Another character claims that aliens experimented on him, and there's talk of cattle vanishing outside of town. Government workers draw guns but don't fire. Fred, Velma, and Daphne are caught in a net suspended over a big drop. More chases at different times: through the desert at night and with bulldozers in a cave.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders is exactly what you'd expect from a Scooby-Doo movie with some mild scares and madcap chase scenes. One scene stands out where Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are supposedly abducted and told that they will be released after a physical exam; they're chased about with a Taser, then wake up in the middle of the desert. Also expect the usual overeating where Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are concerned -- one time Shaggy even eats a whole plate of food that's fallen on the floor in a few seconds.

Surprisingly touching adventure has sad moments amid comedy.

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

(PG, 1982)

Spielberg's family classic is still one of the best.

Monsters vs. Aliens

(PG, 2009)

Homage to '50s alien flicks too intense for youngest kids.
