The last Scooby-Doo animated film to be released on VHS.
Received a big-screen release by Kidtoon films in 2005. It was the third big-screen Scooby-Doo movie, and the first animated one to get a theater release.
The character Hotep is based upon the character Imhotep, played by Boris Karloff in La Momie (1932) and by Arnold Vosloo in La Momie (1999) and Le Retour de la momie (2001). The latter two films featured Oded Fehr as a heroic nomad who protects Egypt from mummy-based mayhem, similar to Fehr's character Triple A in this movie.
There are some subtle allusions to previous Scooby-Doo mummy adventures. The turning to stone trick was used in Scooby Doo and a Mummy, Too (1969). The character Camel Sam from Mummy Scares Best (2003) can be seen at the bizarre. He is not given a voice.
The piece of music that plays during Shaggy and Scooby's oasis swim is Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers", from his ballet The Nutcracker.
