Rackham orders his henchmen to find Tad and steal the notebook from him. She tells everything is in her notebook which Tad currently has before she faints. Sara tires to fight the urge, but it is no use. Rackham tries to get Sara to talk, but she refuses. As Tad falls, Sara tosses her notebook to him as the chopper door slams shut. Tad Stones (the protagonist and Sara's boyfriend) tries to stop him, but Rackham kicks him off. Eventually, Rackham grabs the scroll and takes Sara hostage and carries her to his helicopter. Suddenly, Rackham and his goons (disguised as waiters) ambush the event, trying to steal the scroll as a game of keep-away ensues. Seeing his chance, he hands the captain a heavy case as a "reward" and has his goons throw the panicking man overboard.Īt Sara's presentation in Vegas, she opens the scroll to reveal it to be the Midas Papyrus, which tells the legend of how Midas got rid of his golden curse by hiding three pieces of his gold collar in three different locations that have just recently been revealed.

All this is for wealth? ![]() That explains why this instalment of the hapless but well-meaning Tad’s adventures are attracting so much more attention than they once did, and why this will be one of the animated films to look out for whenever it wends itself your way. Kicking off his adventures in a 2014 short film Tadeo Jones by Enrique Gato and continuing them in its sequel Tadeo Jones and the Basement of Doom, Tad has really come into his own with Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas which looks absolutely, hilariously delightful.Įven though it appears to be packed full of many of the inept characters and sassy oneliners we’ve come to expect from modern animation features, the film very much has its own personality and you can see why Paramount signed the team behind the character to a two film worldwide distribution agreement. I have somehow managed to miss the very existence of Tad the Explorer.Īccording to the good folks at Wikipedia, Tad is a Spanish bricklayer living in Chicago with long held dreams of being a professional archaeologist who, through luck and happenstance, ends up getting to live the dream (albeit as the clumsy doppelganger of Indiana Jones).

Tad travels to Las Vegas to see his friend Sara’s latest discovery: a papyrus that proves the existence of King Midas, who turned everything he touched into gold thanks to the power of a magical necklace.
