Түтенштейн: Мысырлық мумияның қазақша оянуы

Tutenstein is an American animated television series, produced by Porchlight Entertainment for Discovery Kids based on the comics by Jay Stephens. The series was first premiered on Discovery Kids' Saturday morning block on NBC on November 1, 2003. It ended on October 11, 2008. The series features young mummy Tutankhensetamun (based on real life Tutankhamun and usually called "Tutenstein" as in the title) who is awakened about 3,000 years after his accidental death and now must face the fact that his kingdom is gone. The name is a portmanteau of Tutankhamun and Frankenstein. Beginning in August 2020, Yippee TV, the current owners of the series, made the series officially available for streaming on YouTube. In October 2022, it was announced that a reboot is currently in the works. It will have a completely new look.

Tutankhensetamun was an impulsive but kindhearted young Egyptian Pharaoh who lived a luxurious but short life. He died because back in Ancient Egypt he saved a friend of his from being smashed by rocks from a collapsing temple, so he himself was crushed to death. He carries the mighty Sceptre of Was, and the circumstances of his death are unknown at first. In the 21st century, 12 year old middle school student Cleo Carter accidentally witnesses his awakening after a bolt of lightning hits the mummified body of Tut that is on display at the local museum. She with her anthropomorphic pet cat Luxor must now help Tut to find his way around in the modern world. During the whole series, Set, god of disorder and violence, attempts to destroy Tut and gain possession of the Sceptre to become the ruler of all.

Tut Ankh En Set Amun ("Tutenstein") (voiced by Jeannie Elias in the first two seasons and early season 3 and Donna Cherry in the last four episodes) is a very impulsive but kind hearted mummified 10 year old mummy that lives in the museum. His nickname, Tutenstein, is a play on words on Frankenstein. He is often visited by Cleo and Luxor. Cleo Carter (voiced by Crystal Scales in the first two seasons and early season 3 and Leah Lynette in the last four episodes) is a 12 year old African American girl who wants to become an Egyptologist. After chasing her cat, Luxor, she accidentally brought Tut back to life. Her father is a well experienced Egyptologist/Archeologist. Luxor (voiced by Daran Norris in the first two seasons and David Lodge in season 3) is Cleo's pet cat and was possibly named after the Luxor Temple. When Tut was brought back to life, he was compelled to be ever loyal to his new "master" and has gained the ability to talk.

Walter Jacobs (voiced by Joey Simmrin) is the easily frightened, friendly yet dimwitted, young security guard at the museum. Professor Horace Behdety (voiced by Lex Lang) is a haughty professor and the cranky director of the museum. Throughout the series, he's shown to be self centered and fiercely proud of the Egyptian display at the museum, and there are hints that Horace is also possibly the archeologist who discovered Tutankhensetamun's tomb. Dr. Roxanne Vanderwheele (voiced by Jeannie Elias in the first two seasons and early season 3 and Cindy Robinson in the last four episodes) is the Professor's colleague, a bright young scholar and thoroughly modern archaeologist. Rosalie Rivara (voiced by Candi Milo in the first two seasons and Wendee Lee in the third season) is a vain, publicity hungry TV news reporter. Natasha (voiced by Liza Del Mundo in the first two seasons and Wendee Lee in the third season) is Cleo's best friend with a bad habit of lying and she does not appear to be very bright. Kyle (voiced by Debi Derryberry in the first two seasons and Cindy Robinson in the third season) is one of Cleo's friends and has a crush on Natasha. Jake (voiced by Justin Cowden) is one of Cleo's friends and her secret crush. Iris Carter (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) is Cleo's mother and a construction engineer.

Thomas (voiced by Crystal Scales) is Cleo's 5 year old cousin. Nubkar (voiced by Jason Marsden) is Tut's best friend from ancient times who is becoming with Tut's help released from the destiny of being a restless ghost in the underworld. Buzz (voiced by Jason Marsden) and Shakey (voiced by Laraine Newman) are two young teen delinquents Tut befriended for a short while, because he is impressed by their questionable actions short termed. Katie (voiced by Kate Higgins) is Cleo's childhood enemy and briefly became a rival for Jake's attention. Hassan El Zabkar (voiced by Michael Bell) is an old Egyptian American man who summoned Ammut.

Note: All episodes in this season were directed by Norton Virgien.

ABN reported "with regard to the ongoing theme of ancient temples and history found in his animated shows Tutenstein and The Secret Saturdays, [Jay] Stephens quips, "I'm a nerd. I like reading about history and mythology. And the past is full of surprises." Stephens spent many years developing the show for television, coming up with the new setting and cast of characters that diverged significantly from the original comics. Stephens became the creative consultant of the show, with character designer Fil Barlow reinterpreting the look of the entire series. Barlow was the production designer until his contracted 20 episodes expired and was fired. His successor was his student, Thomas Perkins. The production company, PorchLight Entertainment, which is based in Los Angeles, California, has won Emmys for the first and second seasons of the series. Irish TV production company Telegael, which is based in An Spidéal, Co Galway, also won an Emmy Award for the second season.

Many of the gods portrayed in the series resemble their historical portrayals and all the Egyptian myths mentioned in the show are genuine. The Scepter of Was being portrayed as an all purpose magic wand is fictional, though the Was itself is a genuine Egyptian symbol. Unlike Tutankhamun, who died at the age of 19, Tut (Tutahnkensetamun) died when he was 10. On the other hand, Tutenstein is drawn with a cleft lip, just like the real Tutankhamun. The ancient game senet did exist, but as no precise rules for the game have been preserved, the rules as shown in the series are not accurate. Egyptologist Kasia Szpakowska served as a consultant to the series.

Common Sense Media gave the show a rating of 3 stars out of 5, saying "The character of Tut is amusing, with his combination of childishness and egotism, and his interaction with Cleo and Luxor can be quite funny. The resolutions of the stories are fairly predictable – Tut uses his powers for good to help his friends, and harmony is restored – but the situation is unusual enough to keep the show fresh." DVD Verdict said "To be fair, as a product of the Discovery Channel, the producers have tried something slightly different with Tutenstein. Its educational children's programming, the attempt of an educational station to compete with more popular stations. Each episode incorporates some educational tidbits: explaining aspects of ancient Egyptian mythology and history. Unfortunately, the learning gets a bit mixed up with all the other nonsense." The Sydney Morning Herald wrote "It's The Mummy for kids There's no Brendan Fraser or Rachel Weisz here, but the humorous dialogue – and the inclusion of a talking cat – should be a winner among younger viewers."

The series aired on Discovery Kids and premiered in the United States on November 1, 2003 (along with Kenny the Shark). The final episode aired on January 13, 2007. A TV movie entitled Tutenstein: Clash of the Pharaohs aired on October 11, 2008, ending the series. After the series ended, reruns continued to air on The Hub until December 30, 2012. In August 2003, Fox Kids Europe acquired the show's television, home video and consumer products rights for Europe, Israel, India and French speaking Africa, with Buena Vista International Television servicing television distribution. Following the rebrand of the company as Jetix Europe in 2004, the series premiered on the European Jetix networks around that time. In 2004 the series had its British terrestrial television debut on ITV – first as part of the Saturday morning children's program Ministry of Mayhem, and later in a weekday afternoon slot on CITV, where it was one of the highest rating shows for kids aged 4–15. It also aired on Nickelodeon and ABC in Australia, and Maxi TV in Turkey. Beginning on August 18, 2020, the series was officially made available for streaming on YouTube without charge by Yippee TV. The series, with the exception of the third season, and television special are also available for streaming on Hoopla. The series is also available on the Common Sense Media owned streaming service Sensical.
