Under Wraps I’m guessing, based on the credits, was a Kickstarter campaign and on the whole is a harmless animated film (though it is only 47-minutes long) for kids to watch, though it seemed to be done on the cheap especially when filmmakers forgot to remove an FX company’s watermark, though it does go by quickly… The DVD released by Arc Entertainment is basic with OK audio/video transfers but with no features, there’s not much to this release.

PLOT SYNOPSIS
Danny and older sister Eleanor fall into the adventure of a lifetime when Danny accidentally unleashes a centuries old curse involving mummies, pharaohs and nefarious villains! When their archeologist parents go on an expedition to an ancient pharaoh’s last resting place, Danny sneaks into the tomb and finds a sacred amulet, which he takes home. When he accidentally breaks the amulet, all sorts of chaos follows, starting with his parents turning into mummies! Eleanor and Danny frantically look for clues to solve this nightmare but the police, an evil assistant, and a mysterious visitor from the past are suddenly getting too close for comfort.
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5
No features were included though the Wal-Mart version does come with a Vudu Digital Copy.
VIDEO – 4.0/5 | AUDIO – 3.5/5
Under Wraps is presented with an anamorphic widescreen transfer providing bright colors and minimal artifacts, aliasing and pixilation. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is fairly heavy with the bass especially during the opening credits but afterward, dialogue levels were clear and any action elements provide for some depth.
OVERALL – 2.0/5
Overall, Under Wraps I’m guessing, based on the credits, was a Kickstarter campaign and on the whole is a harmless animated film (though it is only 47-minutes long) for kids to watch, though it seemed to be done on the cheap especially when filmmakers forgot to remove an FX company’s watermark, though it does go by quickly… The DVD released by Arc Entertainment is basic with OK audio/video transfers but with no features, there’s not much to this release.
