The animated adventure Mummies will be available to own digitally April 7 from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.

The film follows the adventures of three ancient Egyptian mummies who live in an underground secret city, hidden in ancient Egypt. The trio includes a princess, a former charioteer, and his younger brother, along with their pet baby crocodile. Through a series of unfortunate events, the mummies end up in present-day London and embark on a wacky journey in search of an old ring belonging to the Royal Family, which was stolen by the ambitious archaeologist Lord Carnaby.

From Spanish director Juan Jesús García Galocha, the film’s voice cast includes Joe Thomas (“The Inbetweeners,” “White Gold”), Eleanor Tomlinson (“The Nevers,” Jack the Giant Slayer, The Illusionist), Santiago Winder (“The Hope Rooms”), Celia Imrie (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Dan Starkey (“Doctor Who”), Hugh Bonneville (Paddington, “Downton Abbey,” Notting Hill), singer, songwriter and record producer Shakka, and Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones,” The Martian, “The Lord of the Rings”).

The script was co-written by Jordi Gasull and Javier Barreira, Goya Award winners for Best Screenplay for Tad: The Lost Explorer. Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Ricky Roxburgh (“Tangled: The Series”) supported the English language adaptation of the script. Gasull, winner of three Goya Awards for Best Animated Film for Tad: The Lost Explorer, Capture the Flag and Tad, The Lost Explorer, and The Secret of King Midas, is also the film’s producer. Pedro Solis, writer/director of the Goya Award winning animated short film “Strings,” is behind the film as head of Core Animation Sudio.
