Under Wraps

Danielle returns to Disney Channel original movies with the 2021 movie Under Wraps. We're back on the DCOM train, baby, choo-choo! And not just any DCOM the very first DCOM ever, or rather, the remake of the very first DCOM. Gilbert, Marshall, and Amy are your average 12-year-old kids getting excited for Halloween when they decide to break into their neighbors home because they saw a moving van out in front. Solid kid logic. Inside they find an anthropoid coffin, and when Gilbert uses super kid strength to open it, he accidentally resurrects a mummy. Fortunately, the mummy, dubbed Harold, is a pretty chill dude for a mummy that's hitherto been dead for thousands of years. Marshall is so stoked to have a mummy friend that he decides to put him in a movie for a class project that is, bafflingly, a fictional movie about a mummy. But starring a real mummy. Kids, man. Anyway, it's not all fun and games as the neighbor wants to get the mummy, which he stole from a museum, back, and he's nobody's mom! He resolves to track down Harold and kids, who learn that Harold only has three days to be placed back to sleep in his anthropoid coffin or he'll die. Again. Sam is not convinced it really matters. Anyway, Shenanigans ensue, there's some mummy dancing (yes, really), and our kids get into a whole lot of trouble. However, in the end we all learn the most valuable lesson of all: If your mom seems indifferent to your existence, maybe her new boyfriend will care about you.
