Mummies

From the get-go, the story is wild but it has sufficient faith in itself, a good dose of adventure, and an efficient sense of humor... [Full review in Spanish]

But it almost feels like something in the English-dubbed version of this animated film (originally produced in Spain) was lost in translation. Parts of the story are flat-out confusing.

Mummies could have been a wildly imaginative adventure about the contrasts between ancient Egypt and modern London, but this boring animated film has a clunky narrative, unremarkable visuals, and a stale plot.

Mummies checks all the boxes for kids' animation movie requirements: charismatic characters, the notion of family, a funny character, and a villain that presents an appropriate contemporary conflict. [Full review in Spanish]

Tad The Last Explorer's team, Jordi Gasull and Javier López Barreira, have written an ingenious script with much to offer to both children and grown-ups alike. [Full review in Spanish]

With a genuine sense of humor, an animation design that has nothing to envy to the best of the genre made in Hollywood, and a somewhat silly plot, the crew headed by García Galocha has a lot of fun with anachronisms... [Full review in Spanish]

The protagonists, well defined with few strokes, are devised for children but still curiously appeal to a cross-generational audience, like when Nefer dances to the '80s Bangles hit Walk Like An Egyptian... [Full review in Spanish]

Mummies has its best artistic weapon in the staging of Galocha, loaded with shots of remarkable expressiveness and with devilish editing. [Full review in Spanish]

A formulaic family-friendly animated adventure that probably won’t make you Walk Like an Egyptian.

The film itself is a bizarre, fascinatingly awful amalgamation of straight-to-video quality animation and a narrative that invites its viewers into a potentially enchanting after-world, but forgets to lay any foundation in the process.
