Description:
Feature Length - The original four episodes that spawned the Mummies Alive series. The Real Beginning - Unlike the previous Disney release The Legend Begins, this video is the story of how the Mummies came ALIVE!
It is the year 1525 B.C., and a wicked sorcerer, Scarab, has done away with a Pharaoh's son and his four warrior protectors led by the valiant Ja-kal. After burying Scarab alive, the Pharaoh curses him to live out 50 lifetimes entombed beneath the Egyptian sands. Fast forward to the present day, Scarab's tomb is discovered by archaeologists who unknowingly release his evil on an unsuspecting planet!
Amazon.com:
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

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.
