Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King is officially rated G. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 6+.

Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King is a G-rated animated adventure following Mystery Inc. into a magical underworld to stop a corrupt magician. While generally lighthearted, the film features frequent encounters with supernatural creatures like goblins and ghosts that may be intense for very young viewers. Parents should…

Mild. Shaggy and Scooby engage in cross-dressing as a disguise for a portion of the runtime. Additionally, a fairy character wears revealing clothing throughout her appearances, and a female character briefly shows some cleavage during a musical sequence.

None. The action is fully animated, stylized, and entirely non-human or cartoonish in nature. Conflicts involve magic blasts, chase sequences, and slapstick tumbles where characters suffer no realistic injury or lasting consequence.

None. There is no profanity or offensive language used in the film.

None. There is no usage of alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs shown.

Moderate. Themes include the threat of losing one's memory, the potential for permanent entrapment in a supernatural realm, and a character making a sacrificial choice to save others.

Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King runs 75 minutes, directed by Joe Sichta, released in 2008.
