Purely Joyful Movie!

Perfectly adorable

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

When I was at the height of my teens in the late 1990s i would love watching this exciting cartoon series on ITV when it aired every Saturday morning. The show was about a Afro-American teenager who was the reincarnation of a boy Pharaoh Rapses - or to be precise Rameses. The plot was central to this ordinary boy who's mother happened by chance to be a museum curator dealing with Egyptian artefacts. Four mummies each with their own skills and distinct personalities would protect the boy from a determined and astute villain that wanted the pharaohs spirit aptly called Scarab who posed as a influential businessmen whilst the mummies were hidden from public view to protect the boy. The show was great as it not only entertained me but unlike other super hero programs had a cultural element to it that had the exotic appeal of Indiana Jones were the viewer did not have to imagine themselves as a conventional superhero but could adapt to the cultural and thrilling adventures of the show with the familiar but appealing perspective of people from the Ancient world having adventures and living in the modern world with interesting and diverse characters that will appeal to all.

Mummies alive...a show I haven't seen since I was six years old. It features all the standard kids action show necessities... Ancient villain bent on world domination Comic servant useful only to entertain The basic tropes, Heroic Leader, The Hulking Strong man, the tomboy, and the intelligent comic relief.The animation's about as good as it can get for the early nineties...this show should definitely have a cult following it's not that bad a show...definitely not as bad asTattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills (yes...it is an actual show)or...god forbid....Dino Squad

"Mummies Alive!" is a really good show. This show started when I was in fifth grade and I used to watch it before I went to school in the morning. I remember being really excited when it came on in the morning and I was really upset when the show left.My top five favorite "Mummies Alive!" episodes were "Sleep Walk Like an Egyptian", "The Prince and the Presley", "My Dad the Hero", "Reunion", and "The Face in the Mirror". My favorite characters were Presley and Rapses because they were hot. I also liked Nefer-Tina.Overall I really liked this show and I was sad to see it go. I am glad that they made a video movie of it a year later called "Mummies Alive! The Legend Begins". I give this show 10/10 stars.

Mummies Alive is pretty cool! My second favorite show to be exact! The only problem is: How come Rath is so smart! I mean in Ancient Egypt when somebody was mummified they had their brains pulled out! Even so, that just makes it even cooler! I guess all I can say is: WITH THE STRENGTH OF RA!!! note: Ra is the name of the Ancient Egyptian sun god.
