The Mummy is an American animated television program based on the live-action Mummy film series developed by Stephen Sommers. It was produced by his production studio, the Sommers Company as well as Universal Cartoon Studios. The series aired for two seasons on the Kids' WB from September 29th, 2001 to June 7th, 2003. The series is presented as an alternate sequel to The Mummy Returns, but presents details that are incongruous to the events presented in the film.
The events of this series take place in 1938, five years after the events of The Mummy Returns, which would make Alex O'Connell 12-years-old at the beginning of the series. He is 14-years-old by the end of season two.
Imhotep dies at the end of The Mummy Returns, thus generating some questions as to his presence in this series. This is not entirely implausible since resurrection is a common theme in the franchise. As the original film's tagline purports, "Death is only the beginning".
The Bracelet of Anubis was swallowed up along with the golden pyramid of Ahm Shere at the end of The Mummy Returns. Even if Alex O'Connell were to re-acquire the bracelet again, the lore of the film posits that he must rid himself of it within seven days or else he would die.
