Parents need to know that Mummies is an animated adventure about ancient Egyptian mummies Nefer (voiced by Eleanor Tomlinson in the English dub and Ana Esther Alborg in the Spanish original) and Thut (Joe Thomas/Óscar Barberán), who travel to present-day London. They appear as living human beings, only revealing their true nature as (non-scary) skeletons when a bright light shines on them. Elements of ancient Egyptian culture are featured -- including the fact that an 8-year-old has a pet baby crocodile -- but they don't stray too far from Egyptian cliches. Expect slapstick violence and moments of peril, including several vehicle/chariot accidents and a significant fall that likely results in death. Thut is also threatened with the gruesome punishment of having his eyes plucked out and his tongue cut off. Major characters are Egyptian, but (at least in the English-language dub) they're largely voiced by White actors. And while gender roles have some nuance, there are still stereotypical elements: Nefer is brave, independent, and uninterested in marriage, but she's still portrayed as a beautiful, fashionable princess whose dream is to be a singer rather than a ruler. Thut, meanwhile, is a celebrity athlete who gets a lot of female attention and spouts that he doesn't want to be tied to one woman for life. The villain's helpers are portrayed as fairly incompetent, and he shouts insults at them frequently ("morons," "stupid," "shut up"). Characters flirt and share a kiss, and there's a little innuendo.
