What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central figures are mummies, which are reanimated corpses. However, the topic of death is handled in a completely secular and metaphorical way. The mummies are cartoonish, friendly characters, and there is no mention of death, grief, or the afterlife. The concept is used entirely as a vehicle for humor, much like a friendly ghost or vampire in other children's media. The approach is not frightening.
