While testing the laser they accidentally unleash a computer virus into the real world. The phantom virus terrorises the boys, destroys their lab and absorbs all the data from their computers before it finally escapes. Luckily Scooby and the gang arrive just in time to track down the phantom virus but in an unfortunate twist of fate the gang get themselves into deeper trouble and become locked in a Cyber World with a powerful creature bent on their destruction.

Your Opinions and Comments
The plot is plain, the characters are a big joke, the dubbing is hilariously bad, oh yeah - and the animation is dreadful.
The video transfer is not too good. The fullscreen transfer, while being clean of defects, gives very little detail. The animation cells are far from being seamlessly integrated with the backgrounds and all (with no exceptions) have jagged edges.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very flat. There is no usage of the surrounds at all. The sound effects are there all right, but are rather plainly done.
The menus are still and silent.
The extras include a short behind the scenes featurette, a music video and 3 DVD-ROM mini-games.
Bottom line - this is a typical Saturday morning cartoon production, but I`d rather sleep in late than having to wake up for this kind of crap.
