What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

This is a licensed Scooby-Doo tie-in, giving it franchise appeal, but the story is not primarily an advertisement or product-promotion vehicle.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

A spooky museum mystery and possible masked-monster scares create mild-to-moderate suspense, likely softened by the series’ humor.

Violence1/5
Why this rating?

Mystery chases and comic peril may occur, but any violence appears mild, non-graphic and adventure-focused rather than harmful or realistic.
