Twelve-year-old Presley is the unknowing reincarnation of a murdered Egyptian prince. Coincidentally, his mom works at a San Francisco museum hosting a mummy exhibit, which allows his centuries-old archenemy Scarab and his four guardians to contact him. The first four episodes of this 1997 syndicated series from DIC have been compiled in this feature-length movie. With titles "Ra Ra Ra Ra," "Sleep Walk Like an Egyptian," "Pack to the Future," and "The Gift of Geb," the writers combine pun-filled humor and action. They have fun with the culture shock experienced by the mummies-come-to-life (the TV is a "spirit box," a car is a "swift chariot"), as well as the requisite centerpiece battle in each episode. Presley, his four preserved protectors (including girl warrior Nefer-Tina voiced by the ubiquitous Cree Summer), and a mummified cat share a pleasant camaraderie, while the villains are predictably depraved. It all makes for 80 minutes of relatively harmless fun for children ages 5 and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mummies Alive - The Legend Begins [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the absoulute best movie ever. My dad bought it for me. It's the only thing that my brother and I can watch with out killing each other. I love Rath and Nefer-Tina. I have their pictures in my locker at school. Before a test I always say with the strengh of ra. I've gotten a's and b's ever sence. Now all I need to do is buy all the action figures.
