No whip, no gun...all fun!Tad, the Lost Explorer (original title: Las Aventuras de Tadeo Jones) is a Spanish animated adventure comedy film, presented at Annecy International Animated Film Festival (AIAFF) in 5 June 2012 and theatrically released in 31 August of the same year.The film tells the story of Tad Stones, a construction worker and archeology enthusiast who wants to be an Adventurer Archaeologist just like his idol Max Mordon. His friend, Professor Humbert, is summoned to Peru to meet with another researcher, Professor Lavrof, who has discovered what might be the key to the location of the lost city of Paititi, where the Incans have hidden their golden treasure. Furthermore, the city is believed to contain a golden statue that makes those who hold it immortal, created so that the Incan guardians could defend their treasure forever. However, Humbert suffers an unexpected (but harmless) accident and Tad has to go in his place. Unfortunately, a gang of pirates and mercenaries called the Odysseus is after the artifact too, and Tad arrives to find that Lavrof has been kidnapped. Joined by Lavrof's daughter Sara and their Soap Opera-obsessed enthusiastic salesman employee Freddy; they now have to go on a wild journey to find the treasure before the Odysseus, rescue the professor, and hopefully come out alive.Created by the film's director Enrique Gato, the character of Tadeo Jones (Tad Stones) had previously appeared in two animated short films released in 2004 (Tadeo Jones) and 2007 (Tadeo Jones and the Basement of Doomnote Original title Tadeo Jones y el sótano maldito), as well as a few comics drawn by renowned Spanish cartoonist Juan López Fernández, a.k.a. "Jan".A sequel, Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas (original title Tadeo Jones 2: El secreto del rey Midasnote Tad Jones 2: The Secret of King Midas) was released in 13 June 2017. After making through his journey in the first film and becoming acquaintances with a Mummy in the process, Tad goes to Las Vegas when he's called about a recent discovery of Sara: a papyrus about King Midas that proves he indeed existed in reality. When Sara goes to present the papyrus at a public venue, Jack Rackham, a notorious criminal leader looking for Midas' necklace, steals the papyrus and kidnaps Sara to make her find the necklace. With the Mummy and a new teammate, Tiffany Maze, Tad has to rescue Sara and prevent Rackham from getting the necklace.A third film, at the time titled Tad the Lost Explorer: The Curse of the Mummy (original title Tadeo Jones 3: La maldición de la momianote Tad Jones 3: The Curse of the Mummy) was announced to be released in the summer of 2022. It was ultimately released in 26 August 2022 as Tad the Lost Explorer and the Emerald Tablet (original title Tadeo Jones 3: La tabla esmeraldanote Tad Jones 3: The Emerald Tablet). When Tad destroys a sarcophagus, he accidentally lets out a curse that endangers the Mummy, alongside his and Sara's pets. He and Sara now have to go on another journey to find a way to break the curse, with Victoria Moon, Sara's university colleague, and Ramona, another mummy and a self-proclaimed pharaoh, joining them on the way. The film was given a release in selected US theatres on November 4th of that same year.Visit the film's official website here (in Spanish). | |

Bittersweet Ending: In the first movie, Tad and company escape death thanks to the Mummy breaking the rules so they can continue with their normal lives. Then in the sequel we learn that for this act of compassion, the Mummy was banished by his own people from Paititi, his home for 500 years, having to wander without knowing anyone and anything about modern Peru for a long time. Happens again in the credits of the sequel, as it shows that the Mummy returns to Paititi, only to be imprisoned in a dark dungeon by the guards for breaking his banishment. | |

Third-Act Misunderstanding: Happens in The Secret of King Midas. Tad, planning to give Sara a necklace as a token of his love, asks Tiffany to wear it first to see how it would look. Right at that moment, Sara, planning to confess her true feelings for Tad, walks in on the interaction and assumes that Tad loves Tiffany instead of her. This leads to her becoming distant to Tad and contributes to their brief falling out later on. | |

Tad and Freddy, on the other hand, are written off as disposable, and despite Kopponen insisting that they are harmless and should be spared, Mordon orders their execution anyway. | |

Broken Pedestal: Tad was a big fan of Max Mordon's TV show, because he made archeology fun for him. However, Tad ends up detesting Max during the film's events when he finds out that Max is the head of a smuggling ring that stole archaeological finds to sell to highest bidder. Sara (whom Max was the fiancé to) gets a similar reaction when she discovers the same thing alongside Tad. | |

Midas Touch | |
| Tad, the Lost Explorer / int_a824628a | comment |
Midas Touch: Midas' necklace from the sequel allows anyone who wears it to turn things they touch into gold, as well as shooting rays from the hands with the same results (with exception of stones and rocky surfaces, which are broken instead. When Rackham wears the necklace in the climax, its powers backfire on him, as he gets himself and his remaining mooks killed while trying to kill Tad and the gang. | |

Adventurer Archaeologist | |
| Tad, the Lost Explorer / int_bbd8d3f4 | comment |
Adventurer Archaeologist: Tad dreams of being one, but the movie actually does a good job of deconstructing this. There's nothing particularly glamorous about Professor Lavrof or Humbert, and both of them thoroughly disapprove of Max Mordon. The third movie brings up the difference even more with both a college class and a group of archaeologists who heavily emphasize their dust-cleaning brushes. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Tad, the Lost Explorer / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the original Spanish dub, the name of our protagonist is Tadeo Jones. His hat also resembles Indiana's and, according to Humbert, belonged to a famous archaeologist. Adding to this, Humbert actually comments in the Spanish dub that the hat indeed belonged to Indiana, while the Indiana Jones franchise's characteristic theme sounds in the background. Another one occurs in the Mummy's temple where the mechanisms to activate traps each have a distinct image (arrows, axe, boulder, etc.) and one of the images seems to be a representation of the game Pac-Man. Sara's outfit resembles that of Lara Croft. Her full name, Sara Lavrof, also sounds similar. | |
