Scooby-Doo! In Where’s My Mummy? (2005) 7/10

Starring : Frank Welker, Casey Kasem, Mindy Cohn, Grey DeLisle
Director : Joe Sichta
Running Time : 75 mins

In the ninth of the direct to video Scooby-Doo series, Scooby-Doo (Welker) and the gang travel to Egypt for a surprise visit to see their friend Velma Dinkley (Cohn), who is in Egypt helping to repair the Sphinx. When they encounter a group of scientists who are exploring Cleopatra’s tomb, an evil spirit is apparently unleashed and Velma is transformed into a statue!

Finally the Scooby-Doo movies seem to be finding their stride again. The mystery isn’t one of the best, but the peril and danger for small kids is much more evident, especially with Velma getting cursed by the mummy and turned to stone. It’s great the Warner Brothers hasn’t gone with the flow and turned to computer animation – I still love standard animation and Scooby-Doo looks perfect with this kind of approach.
