Plot

Tadeo Jones (Tad Stones in the English version and voiced by Kerry Shale) is a bricklayer who lives in Chicago, working on the construction of the city's subway. Ever since he was five years old, he has dreamed of being a professional archaeologist. After being fired from his job as a bricklayer for daydreaming and for his dog urinating on the construction foreman, Tad visits his friend Professor Humbert (voiced by Mac McDonald), asking for the professor's help in investigating an apparently vintage bottle of Coca-Cola Tad found on the construction site. The professor receives a letter from his friend Professor Lavrof summoning him to Peru to re-unite his half of a stone "key" that will unlock the legendary Incan city of Paititi. Arriving at the airport, Professor Humbert suffers an accident after taking the wrong pills and is taken to the hospital. Meanwhile, a member of the nefarious firm Odysseus Inc. is spying on them and sends the photo to the other members who are in the Sechura Desert.

Tad takes the professor's place and, along with his dog Jeff, travels from Chicago to Cusco, Peru. in the Cusco airport Tad meets Freddy (voiced by Cheech Marin), a local hustler. Tad is kidnapped by men from Odysseus, who threaten him to give them the stone key, but Tad is saved by Freddy and Sara (voiced by Ariel Winter), Professor Lavrof's daughter, whom Tad falls in love with. After joining the two halves of the key, the group travels to Machu Picchu to meet up with Lavrof (also voiced by McDonald). Odysseus Inc., led by the evil Kopponen, (also voiced by Kerry Shale) again tries to steal the key, but Tad and Sara escape their clutches.

Arriving in Machu Picchu, they discover that Professor Lavrof was kidnapped by Odysseus. After a series of adventures, they find Lavrof and Max Mordon (voiced by Adam James), a famous archaeologist Tad idolizes and Sara's fiancé. After cracking the code of a wall map. Kopponen searches the desert with Lavrof and Mordon to find the treasure of the Incas. But Tad and Sara have the real map, and they depart for the jungle. Kopponen discovers them and finds the underground temple.

After more adventures, it is revealed that Max is in league with Odysseus. After a booby-trapped room that wipes out Kopponen and the rest of his henchmen in Odysseus Inc., Max sneaks into a room in the temple and tries to steal the Incan gold, thinking it will grant him eternal life. After deceiving a mummy and a golem, Max smashes the glass that protects the Indian gold and thus achieves eternal life — but only as an un-dead mummy, and the condition is irreversible. Max is then imprisoned by the mummy inhabitants in Paititi's darkest dungeon, the chief mummy releases Tad, Sara and the Professor on the condition that they will not reveal anything they know about the city or the treasure. Upon returning to the surface, they convince Freddy that the treasure of the Incas was only a legend and does not really exist. Tad and Sara confess their feelings for each other, along with the passionate kiss, their romance blossoms.

The film ends with Tad, Sara, Lavrof, Jeff and Belzoni escaping in one of the Odysseus vehicles.

Production

Tad, the Lost Explorer was produced by Lightbox Entertainment, Telecinco Cinema, El Toro Pictures, Telefónica Producciones and Ikiru Films, and co-produced by Media Networks. It was distributed by the Spanish subsidiary of Paramount Pictures, in collaboration with AXN, Televisió de Catalunya, Grupo Intereconomía, Mediaset España and Canal+. The film became the first full-length animated feature with these characters, originally introduced in Enrique Gato's short animations.

In 2001, Enrique Gato decided to create a new character, parodying Indiana Jones, to add a touch of humor as well as greater action and dynamism to his work [13] and counter the static character movement of his earlier short film, Bicho. [14] Work on the project did not start until two years later, when he began writing the script for the big screen. [13]

The Tadeo character was created using the 3D computer graphics program Autodesk 3ds Max. The model was initially very simple, created as a facial animation test with 4 basic gestures. The director saw in the character the potential to become a short film protagonist. [14] For the second short film, Enrique Gato wanted to convey something of the personal life of the character, not present in the first film, showing his neighbourhood and his taste for hamburgers. [15]

David García voiced the character in the first short film, in which Tadeo Jones does not speak but utters exclamations and murmurs. [13] The character does speak in the second short film, where he is voiced by Jordi Brau. In the first animated feature film, Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones (Tad, the Lost Explorer), the Spanish voice actors are José Mota, Michelle Jenner and Óscar Barberan as Freddy, Sara and Tadeo respectively. In the version dubbed in Catalan, José Corbacho replaces José Mota.

In April 2008, the filmmakers set up their own animation studio, Lightbox Entertainment, to produce 3D animated films for the global market. They began making Tad, the Lost Explorer from that time, featuring the protagonist, Tad, as a construction worker who devotes his spare time to archeology. Spanish comic book writer and artist Juan López Fernández (known as Jan) made two cartoons to promote the feature film starring Tad, [16] which were used as storyboards. [17] Enrique Gato also tried to take the character into video games, but abandoned the idea when results fell short of expectations.

The elongated nose, big mouth and disproportionate limbs of the Tadeo Jones character are based on Jan's designs. The figure is principally inspired by Indiana Jones, as seen by his hat and his silhouette with its pale shirt and dark pants. But he carries a backpack, giving him a boy-scout air that symbolizes his childlike mentality.

The character was animated using three forms based on the same geometric shape, one fully clothed, one without hat and shirt, and one wearing only boots and underwear. The animation was done in Character Studio, without adapting the volume of the components. The head is separate, the eyes also had their own independent geometry, and there were specific controls for the eyelids. One difficulty was that the filmmakers did not want the character to lose his hat until the end of the short animation, and the hat reduced the expressiveness of the character. For that reason, they first animated Tadeo without the hat, adapting the character afterwards with his hat on. [14] The animation team, comprising David Ordieres and some one hundred other film employees, spent four years developing and animating the characters. [18]

Release

The film premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on 5 June 2012 and was theatrically released on 31 August 2012 in Spain by Paramount Pictures, who additionally distributed the film in territories like Mexico and Brazil.

The film was released in Spain on 19 December 2012 on DVD and Blu-ray, and within days became the best selling Christmas DVD, drying up the issue quickly. Includes audio quality Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish version in addition to blind and language in Catalan. It also concludes a section of extras from the movie with the making of, the trailer, video clip, short films and the design and creation of characters.

It was also released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2014, by StudioCanal, who also handled the film's international sales.

Lobo of the newspaper La Razón gave it three out of five, calling it a candid story, furiously-paced and strongly influenced by comics, yet stripped of any malicious double meaning. She described it as full of scenes that seem lifted from a video game, adding that the settings in which these unfold are impressive.

[26] He gave it a score of three out of four.
