In honor of the film, the museum has regularly scheduled sleepovers occasionally for the kids and their parents. Not only have the films celebrated the Museum it has spawned a trend there. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb ends a franchise that began in 2006 and had a 2009 sequel ( Night at the Museum: Battle of The Smithsonian), all helmed by director Shawn Levy who has had quite a string of family oriented comic hits including Cheaper By The Dozen, The Pink Panther and Date Night. This latest chapter is also endowed with a certain poignancy because it offers the late actor’s final screen appearance (and that of a 93 year-old Mickey Rooney who appears in a cameo here as well and died shortly after). When the story shift to the London location, it adds in its security guard Tilly (Rebel Wilson), an errant knight Sir Lancelot (Stevens) and other denizens of the museum such Egyptian Pharaoh Merenkahre (Kingsley) who reconnects with the animated mummy of his son Ahkmenrah.
#Night at the museum secrets of the lost tomb series#
The successful series - based on the children’s book by Mialn Trenc - transforms Manhattan’s Museum of Natural History into a nightly party for various diorama inhabitants, Neanderthals, dinosaurs, a Capuchin monkey Crystal (Dexter), a wax Theodore Roosevelt (Williams), cowboy Jedediah (Wilson), and Roman Centurion Octavius (Coogan). He embarks on an epic quest to save the magic before it is gone forever so he has to unite the Egyptian Prince - who is in NYC - with his father the Pharaoh in the British Museum. The wildest, most adventure-filled Night At the Museum edition, Larry travels from New York to England - with animated crew in tow - to save the mystical artifact that animates these characters and several new ones. Besides Stiller, it includes Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Dan Stevens, Ben Kingsley, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais, and Rebel Wilson. Though it sometimes goes beyond silly, verging on the ridiculous at times, these films have really funny moments and this edition - Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb - is no exception.Īs security guard Larry Daley (and his alter ego, the Neanderthal Laaa) Ben Stiller leads its ensemble through various twists and turns which takes them from the New York Museum to the British Museum in London. If the Night At the Museum trilogy’s silly concept - a mystical force animates New York’s American Museum of Natural History’s displays after its closing hours - gets more kids to come to this great museum then it deserves all the support it’s gotten.
