Tutenstein (2003–2007) User Reviews

a good show

[atomius · 8/10 · 7 October 2004]

This is a pretty entertaining show all in all. The main character is Cleo Carter who does errands and odd jobs at a history museum. She awakens a 3010 year old mummy, Tutankhensetamun (tutenstein) and they go on crazy adventures about the city when gods or demons are accidentally awaken or disturbed. The main enemy is Set, who tries, uding his minions, to steal Tutenstein's magic sceptre. The show is quite good, and the animation isn't bad either. The opening titles are alright, a nice job done there, and the magic 'effects' like portals are drawn in an interesting style. This is an interestingly plain, and nice, take on the mummy genre- not too overdone, but still plenty of adventure. Although Cleo telling tutenstein off for misbehaving gets a bit tired after a while, considering he's meant to be the pharoah.

It was just an okay TV series, I believe it lacked of creation.

Great entertainment for both children and adults

This is a lovely animated series which incorporates real names from ancient Egyptian history. There is lots of interesting information about Egyption folklore and historical facts. The storyline is wonderful. It also teaches children about friendship,selflessness,trust and loyalty. I got hooked when I was watching the morning news programs, just as I was about to leave the house for morning errands this show followed. Ever since I tape the episodes for viewing later. I am truly addicted! I hope the series continues for a long time. The characters are both funny and engaging. Highly recommended as a replacement for the other flat children's' morning TV programming.

Adore this!

One of the most nostalgic shows for me! Even to this day, I can watch it, it's pretty entertaining!

Series humanizes mummy.

I love this series. It's a unique take on the Egyptian culture. While some of the details are wrong... i.e. names/or details about deities, the spirit of the cartoon is there. Tutenstein, the child mummy, is as precocious as a living child. His world revolves around him, feeding his ego. Cleo is his perfect compliment as a friend. She keeps him grounded and, in a way, humbles him. It is funny and casts a sympathetic eye on the Hollywood image of the mummy. Not only is he human and flawed, he bucks the stereotypical image of the mummy character: arms out, stiff walk, trademark moan. Bravo to Tutenstein for giving the Mummy life after death... Literally.
