Add to a movie listTadeo Jones is a 2004 Spanish short animated film directed by Enrique Gato. It tells the story of Tadeo Jones, an adventurer who enters a pyramid where he finds a family of mummies. The project of this film was born when Gato wanted to make a short film containing more action and humour than his previous projects, so he decided to make a parody of the adventure genre, whose representative figure is Indiana Jones. The story contains many elements from the Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones) series of movies. The synopsis, in the director's words, is "adventurer Tadeo Jones is a little foolish but stubborn to explore an ancient pyramid and will run into a family of mummies."
The film won sixty-five awards including a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). Two years later, there was a sequel to the film called Tadeo Jones and the Basement of Doom. A feature-length animated film, Tad, The Lost Explorer, featuring Tadeo Jones, was released in 2012.
Synopsis
Tadeo Jones is in a maze inside a pyramid looking for the exit and gets access to a room with a statue, which needs one euro to activate the exit mechanism. Instead he gets through using a knife. In the next room Tadeo discovers a crank to turn, opening a door leading to treasure, but if he stops moving it abruptly closes. What he does not know is that turning the crank opens the coffins of a family of mummies. When going to take the treasure, Tadeo hears the sound of the door and discovers a mummy father. Tadeo flees but meets a river that prevents him from passing. He continues to run away and gets on a train where six children laugh at him. Eventually, Tadeo discovers that it is a carnival ride called "Terror en la cripta" (literally "Terror in the Crypt").Comments

Tadeo Jones (voiced in English by Kerry Shale) is a bricklayer from Spain who lives in Chicago, working on the construction of the city's subway. Ever since he was five years, 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.

The film is set in an alternate-reality Earth. In 1899, The Martians launched an unprovoked attack on the major nations of the world. In Leeds, England, a younger Eric Wells watches in horror as a Martian Tripod lays waste to his city and then kills his father and mother. But before it can kill him, the Martian Tripod suddenly keels forward and crashes into the ground. Over 140 million people were killed by the Martians, and many of the great cities of the world were destroyed until the Martians were killed off by Earth's bacteria, against which the Martians had no defence.

In the movie, he is visited by his American relative Pelle Swanson, who invites him to visit his new home country, the United States, in the movie called Americat. There everything is bigger; even the rats are much fatter.
