Synopsis

The Mummy: The Animated Series is an animated television series produced by Universal Animation Studios to capitalize on the success of The Mummy. It premiered on Kids' WB! On the The WB network on September 29, 2001. It is set sometime between 1920 and 1934. The characters and plot were derived from the film, but the series could not replicate its success, efforts to make it consistent with real-world features were almost non-existent as, for example, Lake Titicaca is described as both puma-head shaped and as being found below the ruins of Macchu Picchu. The poor quality of the animation disappointed fans of the special effects-laden movie. It was retooled and rechristened The Mummy: Secrets of the Medjai for its second season, which began on February 15, 2003. Although the quality is considered to have improved between the first and second seasons, the show failed to find an audience and was cancelled on June 7, 2003. Reruns of the show aired on Toon Disney. The entire series was released on DVD in America R1 in three volumes on July 22, 2008.

Reviews

Jake Collins Okay, so it's certainly not perfect - most of the plot is driven by MacGuffin artefacts (the Scrolls of Thebes, the Puzzle of Horus, the Medallion of the Medjai etc) and its run-time of barely twenty minutes per episode doesn't allow for the level of depth and development that some of the characters are crying out for. However, as an action-based fantasy cartoon series, I feel that it has a whole lot going for it.The characters and the voice work are very well done. Alex is a fantastic hero and protagonist, and I think the fact that the series becomes more and more the story of his journey is absolutely the right direction for it to take. Chris Marquette gives an extremely engaging, charismatic and sensitive performance, and his changing voice perfectly mirrors the emotional and physical development of Alex as a character.John Schneider also does an excellent job as Rick, giving the character a pleasing Indiana Jones vibe. Grey DeLisle and Tom Kenny may not provide the best English accents ever, but their performances are always on-point. I do like what Jim Cummings does with Imhotep, although I think it's a shame that he doesn't get very much chance to engage in appropriate banter with the good guys.The locations and guest characters are always well conceived and well used. My particular favourites are Yanit and Fadil, whose continuing relationship with Alex is the most interesting unexplored aspect of the series in my opinion.
aerokossa101 I loved the series. And WHO CARES IF THE MUMMY HAS HAIR OR RIcK IS A BLOND OR WHATEVER. People who complain about such stupid stuff shouldn't be allowed to write reviews. ANd people who ADMIT to not even watching past the first episode should DEFINITELY not be allowed to write reviews. What a waste of space that review is with all the whining and complaining and she didn't even bother to watch past the first episode because of hair LOL. I mean how lame can you get. ANywho My review is the series is awesome, if you can get past all the hair issues LOL. The stories were great, it was great that they changed it to be kid friendly and its JUST A CARTOON AND FICTION AND IS NOT REAL SO WHO CARES IF THE MUMMY HAS HAIR OR NOT. NOWHERE DOES IT SAY LOOSELY BASED ON AcTUAL EVENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
underwaterandraia I was SO ashamed when I first watched the first episode. When I saw the previews for it I was shocked to know they could do such a thing, but I wanted to watch it to see what they did. I only saw the first episode, and I can't watch anymore.First of all...the image is so totally wrong. The cartoon didn't even stick with the movie descriptions. Evie is not a redhead, Rick's not blond, etc. And the mummy...he is NOT supposed to have hair. It is a FACT that egyptian priests shave off their hair for religious purposes. And that is obviously why Arnold Vosloo had no hair in the movie. But then this cartoon comes along and he has hair! It goes against the movie, the storyline, AND the historic evidence of priests.The storyline was also just...terrible. Alex is not totally stupid, even I can see that. But you'd think that after the second movie, he'd think twice before sticking strange bracelets on. Well...no. In the VERY FIRST EPISODE he sticks that sucker on his wrist and what happens? Yes, it gets stuck on him and brings Imhotep back somehow. The viewers aren't stupid, they're going to see that and notice the lack of creativity there is among the writers.Another peeve would be the lack of sticking-to-character. They travel by some new high tech hot hair baloon, and Rick even made some comments saying how nice it was and how nice it would be to fly it. Now if we were to look back in Mummy II we'd know that Rick DOES NOT like balloons and probably would never want to ride one again. And Jonathan...his only purpose in the cartoon is to trip and fall on his face and possibly get everyone in danger. 'Hey, we don't know how they're going to fall in this trap, so let's put JONATHAN there first...'First episode was enough for me. All I saw was a bunch of repeats from the movies and even the repeats weren't efficent enough to carry the story. Please. If there's a good movie out, DON'T ruin it by making a cartoon. They did it to Men in Black, and that was a disaster.
chrisjgray2000 After two movies which are funny, entertaining and adventurous this comes along. It's a novel idea but the scripts are just bad and the attempts to make it funny at times makes it even worse.The series shows the O' Connell family once again trying to defeat the evil mummy priest Imhotep(that looks very different from the movies, HE'S PURPLE).The fact that you cannot believe that a couple and the female's brother are up against an evil force three times in their lives is just stupid and giving us this plot in bad form makes it worse.This makes both movies look as if they were here to show how bad cartoons can be. The movies were great fun, but this is strictly for children who can't count to ten yet. Terrible stuff.
