Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders

2000

A cosmic case of flying saucers, intergalactic intrigue and out-of-this-world romance launches Scooby-Doo! and the Mystery Inc., Gang into their most unearthly adventure ever.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Mildly spooky alien disguises, abductions, chases, captures, falls, and peril may worry younger children, but the animated tone, humor, lack of gore, and reassuring resolution make it generally suitable from about age 7. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
