Scooby Doo is a Classic Mystery Cartoon where they expose phony ghosts & monsters. It might be scary for Kids, but most of the scary stuff is played for laughs. Overall Nice, Fun watch for all ages.

Studio: Warner Bros. MPAA explanation: some rude humor, language and some scary action.
The original script attracted the entire all-star cast and was considered to be a hit in the making. This R-rated version of the film was actually made with more mature content, scarier monsters, and presumably some foul language.
"The movie was originally meant to be PG-13 & was cut down to PG after like 3 parents were outraged at a test screening in Sacramento. The studio decided to go a more family friendly route," Gunn explained on Twitter. "Language and jokes and sexual situations were removed, including a kiss between Daphne and Velma.
James Gunn revealed in a 2017 Facebook post that the Scooby-Doo movie was originally intended to be for an adult audience. “I had written an edgier film geared toward older kids and adults, and the studio ended pushing it into a clean-cut children's film.
There's very little in the way of love and compassion, and LOTS in the way of 90's cynicism. Avoid this one for pre-elementary kids, and wait until they're older if you feel like you need to watch. Recommended alternative: "Monsters, Inc." -- a much sweeter story with good-hearted characters and a positive message.
In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, Moana has some scenes that could scare or disturb children under five years. For example: Because Maui stole the heart of the islands, the islands begin to die. They turn black and start to crumble.
Parents need to know that Velma is an animated update/spin-off of the beloved 1970s cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? But this one is intended for adults: There's much more mature material here than in the original. Violence is often played for laughs but may be more intense than parents…
For Velma, the series has been marketed as an adult animated comedy. So their target audience is those 18 and older. According to HBO Max, the mature rating is also due to sexual situations and violence. If you've seen the trailer, there's talk of murder, drinking, and drugs.

Rife with suspense and tinged with horror that was watered down with slapstick comedy, Scooby Doo masqueraded as a cartoon mystery but really was surprisingly gothic. From its first episode, “What a Night for a Knight,” Scooby Doo establishes the very atmosphere that is integral to the gothic genre.
According to the Motion Picture Association, the PG-13 label means the movie is fine for kids over the age of thirteen. It may not, however, be appropriate for children under thirteen because of language, violence, nudity, and other mature content.
