Das Geheimnis der Mumie

This series is based on characters in "The Mummy", and "The Mummy Returns", but is not a direct sequel to either of them. Instead, it is an alternate timeline. Look at it that way, and you'll like the series much better.

As near as I can tell,you take "The Mummy", and instead of Evy reading from "The Book of the Dead", she gives it to the museum and ends up falling in love with Rick O'Connell, and meets Ardeth Bey as well (my memory of exact events in the movie is a little fuzzy). Take those events, and when "The Mummy Returns" should take place, this series occurs instead. Which means this is the first time the O'Connells have encountered Imhotep. With that knowlege as a foundation, the series suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.

The first season deals mostly with the O'Connells wandering the globe in search of the lost Scrolls of Thebes, which hold the spells that can seperate the Manacle of Osiris from its user, or enable them to control the world. In addition, they battle several demons and monsters on their quest to find the scrolls. In the final battle of the season, Alex frees himself of the Manacle, but puts it back on and destroys the Scrolls so that Imhotep cannot use them: a victory, and yet with a price. In return, though, Ardeth Bey offers Alex the chance to follow his heritage (unbeknownst to him at the time), and recieve Medjai training.

Season 2, currently showing in the US, starts with Imhotep's return and his quest to control the world with the help of Anak-Su-Namun, who helped him in ancient times. However, the two split up due to certain arguements, and neither have been seen since in the two episodes that have aired since. In addition, we learn in the two-part season opener that Evy is the reincarnation of Princess Nefertiri, who briefly returns to posess her reborn self and stop Anak-Su-Namun, and in the fourth episode of the season, we learn that Rick's father Jake, whom he thought was dead, is alive... and was once a Medjai, meaning that Alex was meant to join their order.

All in all: exciting series, interesting plot, and lots of action. Plus the monsters-of-the-week are pretty cool. I give it a high rating - just not sure how high.

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.

I was 3-5 when I saw this. No older or younger as I moved house when I was 6 and the fact I remember it at all. As a matter of fact, I've never watched The Mummy. I saw the trailer for the Tom Cruise one where the audio was messed up but I didn't watch the movie. Why are all of these reviews like articulate adults? Like I would assume it would be a bunch of people who also had it as kids, but I guess not. I'm curious as to how many people saw this as children. I was able to remember it by finding a copy in a dollar general dollar bin.

This is for the animated feature on VHS.

The MuMmy: QUEST FOR THE LOST SCROLLS!

As a huge MuMmy fan this was a must see and it didn't disappoint Me at all! I was satisfied with the characters which they were just like were in the epic films! They really made Evy a great animated female character and Imhotep was animated into a great villain rather well! The story, voices, animation, and music was all fine! Whenever The Mummy would use his great powers or change it was animated greatly! I strongly recommend anyone who loves The MuMmy series to watch this animated feature!

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.
