"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.

Zombie Island is simply the best of the new movies brought out by Cartoon Network. The worst of the lot was that trash with Aussie Vampires. But to each's own. I enjoyed this new addition for what it was. There is nothing new or noteworthy -- but there doesn't really have to be surprises every movie. Most of the comfort in these straight to videos comes from those involved. Hearing the old gang's voices has such a calming effect that if the writing is just average, it's okay because the voice talent is what carries the production to a new level.Last outing in Aloha Scooby-Doo, we had Teri Garr, Adam West and even Don Ho.This time it is the fabulous Virginia Madsen playing Cleo. Half the fun of these new movies is spotting (hearing) well-known talent. From Mark Hamill, Tim Curry to Jennifer Love-Hewitt. Scooby-Doo is forever. Now if, you'll excuse me I have to get a Scooby snack.
