The Mummy: The Animated Series is an animated television series produced by Universal Animation Studios to capitalize on the success of The Mummy.
It premiered on Kids' WB! On the The WB network on September 29, 2001. It is set sometime between 1920 and 1934. The characters and plot were derived from the film, but the series could not replicate its success, efforts to make it consistent with real-world features were almost non-existent as, for example, Lake Titicaca is described as both puma-head shaped and as being found below the ruins of Macchu Picchu. The poor quality of the animation disappointed fans of the special effects-laden movie. It was retooled and rechristened The Mummy: Secrets of the Medjai for its second season, which began on February 15, 2003. Although the quality is considered to have improved between the first and second seasons, the show failed to find an audience and was cancelled on June 7, 2003. Reruns of the show aired on Toon Disney. The entire series was released on DVD in America R1 in three volumes on July 22, 2008.

I over totusinde år har verden været fascineret af historien om Cleopatra. Hendes henrivende skønhed blev legendarisk , ligesom hendes forbudte passion til den romerske kejser Cæsar og hans general Anthony. Dette fik hele det romerske imperium til at vakle og Egypten blev kastet ud i krig. Med et budget på 300 millioner kroner blev historien levende igen i denne filmatisering, hvor indspilningerne foregik i Marokko. Der blev Cleopatras vældige tronstad Alexandria genskabt, og det blev en af de absolut største og dyreste byggekonstruktioner i filmhistorien. På den tunge rolleliste finder man stjerner som Timothy Dalton, som spillede James Bond i både "License to Kill" og "Spioner dør ved daggry", Billy Zane fra "Titanic" og den nye stjerne Leonor Varela fra "Blade 2" som Cleopatra.
