The Mummy: The Animated Series

From Rickipedia: The Mummy Wiki

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 WB network on September 29, 2001. The characters and plot were derived from the film, but the series could not replicate its success. 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 air on Toon Disney. The entire series was released on DVD in America R1 in three volumes on July 22, 2008.

[edit] Episodes

The series consists of twenty-six episodes. Seasons 1 and 2. The series episodes span from the travels in Egypt to around the world, reaching locales such as tropical islands, China, and even New York. In respect to the animation of the series, there are many examples of design errors, additions, subtractions, and various alterations.

The series follows the O'Connell family as they travelled the world, being pursued by Imhotep and his newfound lackey, Colin Weasler, all while trying to take an ancient wristband known as the Manacle of Osiris off of Alex O'Connell's wrist. Their chase across the globe took them to find the Scrolls of Thebes, which would remove the Manacle, though the Scrolls were all destroyed so that Imhotep would not possess the Manacle. In the second season, Alex began to train as a Medjai so as to combat the mummy, running into various other threats as he trained.
