"I told you they're real! Them aliens are here to take over the world!"

Lets continue our Disney/Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary celebration with Scooby and the gang's encounter with extra-terrestrial beings and uncovering a sinister conspiracy; Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders.

At the SALF station, Max, Laura and Steve suddenly get a loud reading that is off the charts. When it disappears, Steve gets something on the radar.
The Mystery Machine is driving through the desert. During a sandstorm, Shaggy accidentally makes a turn into government property, and a subsequent sighting of a UFO causes him to lose control and crash into a cactus, denting the front and severely damaging the radiator.
The gang find themselves on the outskirts of a small town. While Scooby-Doo and Shaggy stay with the van, the rest of the gang walks to the town, where they ask for help at a diner.
While waiting, Shaggy and Scooby fight over a Scooby Snack before encountering a jackalope. When they chase it into the mouth of a cave, they see a glow in the distance. Two aliens then approach them from behind and chase them towards the town.
Shaggy and Scooby run into the diner in panic, claiming to have seen aliens. The diner waitress, Dottie, says that they have never seen aliens, but do see strange lights and hear strange sounds at night.
The chef, Sergio, says that cattle have also vanished overnight without a trace and people left the town as a result.
A man named Lester claims to have been abducted once before and claims that he has pictures. The gang goes to his house to see them, but they turn out to be nothing more than paintings by Lester. Lester then offers to let the gang stay for the night.
While sleeping on the roof, Scooby and Shaggy are abducted. They attempt to escape but are surrounded by the aliens.
They find themselves in the middle of the desert the following morning after being awakened by a hippy photographer, Crystal, and her golden retriever, Amber. Scooby and Shaggy fall head over heels in love the moment they lay eyes on them.
Crystal gives them a ride back to the diner, but they are so smitten that they have no appetite, much to the shock of the rest of the gang. The gang go to the grouchy local mechanic to ask if he can fix their vehicle.
As Scooby and Shaggy are smitten with love, will they and the rest of the gang be able to solve the mystery of the aliens?

The story is pretty well written and has a solid pace, manages to maintain the campy and goofy tone of the show like the other films did, and while this movie is much lighter in tone than the last two movies, it still manages to be decently engaging despite some predictability, and despite not being as dark and grim as "Zombie Island" and "Witch's Ghost", it still features real supernatural beings while also containing the franchise's status quo of costumed crooks.
The movie does manage to have a pretty solid sense of humor like the first two movies, and does lead to some pretty funny and humorous bits like the witty banter and dialogue from the characters, the more silly situations Scooby and Shaggy get themselves in, the gags, and some of the slapstick.
The movie also manages to have a decent amount of heart to it with the romance between Shaggy and Crystal, and Scooby and Amber, and their relationship is pretty believable and has solid chemistry. Also, it may have the most emotional ending out of all the Scooby-Doo movies.
Despite not being as serious as the past films, there is still a decent amount of suspense like the Aliens chasing Scooby and Shaggy in the desert and them being abducted, the encounters with the MPs, and the climax in the cave.
The animation still manages to be as great as it was before with the characters' more detailed and solid designs, more fluid movements, well detailed and painted backgrounds, and very solid effects like the Alien tech and transformations.
The characters are still pretty likable, and a few do go through some solid development and have some good chemistry.
Scooby and Shaggy are still their same old lovable, cowardly and goofy selves, but they do manage to have a solid character arc with their romance between Crystal and Amber and how they're willing to do anything for them, no matter how scary it is.
Fred, Velma, and Daphne are also still pretty likable and do get some funny moments, but they don't really do much compared to their respective roles in the other movies.
Crystal and Amber are both very solid and likable new characters as they are pretty solid love interests for Shaggy and Scooby, as well as having their own quirks. And there is a very solid twist regarding to who they really are.
While most of the background characters aren't really that memorable, Lester is actually pretty memorable and likable thanks to his kooky personality and traits.
The Aliens are passable villains as they do look pretty intimidating and imposing, and do pose a threat to the gang, but to who they are and what their motives are, it's really nothing that special as the motive is just like something you would see on the show. Not bad villains per say, but they are a definite downgrade after having villains like Simone and Lena from "Zombie Island", or Ben and Sarah from "Witch's Ghost".
The voice acting is pretty solid and does lead to some great performances like Scott Innes as Scooby and Shaggy, Frank Welker as Fred, B.J. Ward as Velma, Mary Kay Bergman in her final performance as Daphne, Candi Milo as Crystal and Amber, Kevin Michael Richardson as the Aliens, Jeff Bennett as Lester, and more.
The music by Louis Fenre is pretty solid and does manage to capture the movie's comedic and suspenseful tone, and "How Groovy" is a decently well written and performed love ballad.

Overall, even though it's not as dark or grim as the first two movies, this still manages to be a pretty solid Scooby-Doo movie that gets the job done of delivering the thrills and laughs.
