Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?

Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?

I watched this one as a child, but after catching an episode of Scooby Doo by chance I really wanted to rewatch some of the older ones. Genuinely a funny film, especially when you get old enough to understand some of the more subtle jokes (like how the guy who rescues the gang after their car breaks down has three names that start with A). This one always stood out to me because of the different approach they take with the film. In most iterations, we're watching the gang solve the mystery and following along. In this one, both us and the gang are kept in the dark until the very end. It loses you for a minute, considering it's over an hour long, but it'll pick you right back up.

This Scooby movie was way better than the two before it. It kept my attention and had awesome animation. The side characters this time around were interesting and added a nice touch to the plot. The plot was fun and that twist at the end was shocking and fun. It didn't make me angry when I found out who the bad guy was, it just made me find the movie more intriguing. Overall this is a great Scooby movie and I hope they make more like this.

My son adores Scooby-Doo and I grew up with the cartoons, so of course I do sit down to watch all the Scooby-Doo animated movies with my son that we come across. The latest find turned out to be "Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?" And I must say that this was actually one of the better animated Scooby-Doo movies that I have seen in a while. And it is a combination of the setting of the adventure and my love for ancient Egypt that came together in a greater unity and worked out so well for me. This time the gang travels to Egypt to assist Velma in her archaeological work in the Egyptian deserts. Here they run afoul mummies, curses and traps in abundance. Sure, "Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?" does follow the traditional formula of how to make a Scooby-Doo adventure. So you know what you are getting yourself into here prior to sitting down to watching it. And I say that with the best of intentions, because there is something fun and lovable about these adventures. And despite every adventure is essentially the same, they are still fun to watch. The animation is good in "Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?" and the art style is very much in tune with the classic Scooby-Doo. So again, there is something comforting in the familiarity. I did like the mummies and the design of Cleopatra. And the overall atmosphere there was in this animated movie was just great. It is always a treat to have Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Mindy Cohn and Grey DeLisle. Furthermore, there were some other nice voice talents to showcase their skills in this animated movie, which included Ron Perlman and Oded Fehr. The storyline in "Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?", while very much the same as all other story lines in the Scooby-Doo collection, then there was still a very good plot twist reveal at the end of the movie. I liked that particular turn of events, because I hadn't seen that one coming. If you enjoy Scooby-Doo animated movies, then "Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy?" is definitely well worth the time and effort to sit down and watch. I thoroughly enjoyed this particular adventure.

"Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?" is probably the best Scooby-Doo movie ever made. "Where's My Mummy?" combines the classic shenanigans of Shaggy and Scooby with myths, curses, and legends, making it ever more interesting to watch. It also gives insight into multiple African/Middle Eastern cultures, which increase the quality of the film. The legends and curses of Ancient Egyptian mythology have always fascinated me, as well as the life of the pharaoh Cleopatra VII, and I grew up watching Scooby-Doo, so this was the perfect combination.

Could be worse. the jokes about the over-the-top reality TV shows are sooooo worth the price of admission. Especially if you are like me and inclined to hate them for the forced drama and, well, the horrible taste of them all. It's nice to see Scooby mocking them. The Problem is Egypt. It wasn't exactly Egypt enough. It felt like just about anywhere else and Egypt is sort of a really big deal for a van full of American teens to visit. Instead it felt more like an establishing shot and the old west. Very lazy for Scooby Doo. The plus side is that the mystery is solid and the jokes landed, even if it did all feel a bit lack luster.

Scooby-Doo: Where's My Mummy (2005) ** (out of 4) Scooby and the gang travel to Egypt where they run into a (gasp) mummy. Out of the three films I've watched from this series I'd say this one here is the best but it's still rather disappointing compared to the original show. Since I wasn't too impressed with any of these I've went on and deleted the other four titles from my DVR. This one here features the best animation work as well as some nice vocals. The mummy looks very good but once again the actual mystery is pretty lame. Stick with the original cartoon.

Scooby and the Gang decide to visit Velma in Egypt. What starts out as a vacation turns into a supernatural mystery inside the Pyramid. I love Scooby Doo, which means I'll watch mostly anything of Scooby. I was bored one evening and decided to give this a look. I got what I expected for the most part. This is fairly entertaining stuff that doesn't hurt anyone in the process. The animation is really cool and I dug the look of Egypt. It was a really good setting. My favorite thing was probably the giant sand scorpion. It was pretty creepy for an animation. The storyline was fairly simple, but well- done. Like most stuff that involves Scooby, the mystery isn't hard to figure out. It tried to get way too clever in the end, throwing in twists that got way too convoluted. It got too cute. I also hate how they make Freddy into an arrogant buffoon. Freddy was always sure of himself, but not cocky. I hate how they make him like that in the new stuff. As you may expect, Shaggy and Scooby steal the show in many scenes. Some of the side characters were kinda cool! Amelia von Butch was really cool and rather bad-ass as a weasel. In the end, I had an OK time with it. Scooby fans will likely get some satisfaction out of it 6/10
