TAD, the lost explorer and the secret ok Kind Midas
Synopsis
Tadeo has always wanted to become an adventurous and famous archaeologist. However, he spends his days dreaming among the cranes and concrete of the construction site where he works. The opportunity to fulfill his dreams presents itself when his friend, a renowned archaeologist, receives a mysterious stone tablet, the key that leads to the Lost City of Paititi and its legendary treasure. About to set out on the journey, the archaeologist suffers an unfortunate accident and it is Tadeo who must replace him on the expedition.
As soon as he arrives in Peru, Tadeo discovers that Oddyseus, an important treasure-hunting corporation, is also on the trail of the Lost City of Paititi… and they are willing to do anything to find it.
With the help of Sara, an intrepid archaeologist; Belzoni, a mute parrot with a lot of character; Freddy, a peculiar guide with a surprising multipurpose coat and Jeff, Tadeo’s inseparable dog, they will embark on an adventure full of dangers that will take them all over the country to save the Lost City and protect the mysterious treasure from the clutches of their enemies.

Reviews
Fotogramas por Fausto Fernández
“(…) se podría decir, sin exagerar, que es la mejor película de animación española de la historia”.
Metrópoli por Alberto Bermejo
“Entretenida y técnicamente deslumbrante, está a la altura de la mejor animación en 3D de la gran industria”.
Cinemanía por David Bernal
“(…) ‘Tadeo Jones’ está pensada para un mercado familiar global que mezcla el clásico cine de aventura con todos los lugares comunes que han encumbrado a la animación comercial norteamericana”.
‘Dirigido por’ por Tomás Fernández Valentí
“¿Resulta exagerado afirmar que, dentro de sus limitaciones, Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones se erige, seguramente sin querer, en una de las mejores propuestas del cine español de 2012?”.
