A live action foreign movie is too difficult to refilm but I have great admiration for a good dubbing job. Not only is the dubbing of this movie sloppy, but reanimating is eminently possible & easy enough to do, especial when they are trying to sell to a foreign market like the english speaking market. Therefore the dubbing is eminently sloppy. Subsequently my little boy then asks impossible questions about a questionable plot where they are trying to turn a fable into a plot for a movie and add plot line which makes no sense. So as a Dad im stuck trying to explain that cartoons lie, all the time. The Plot is Full of holes The Script is ok The sound is ok The CGI & Dubbing is sloppy The Acting is ok Its OK for kids 👍 but because of the sloppy plot you might have to explain why the movie deviates from the fable. Not a keeper.

This film told me the meaning of life and opened my mind in such a way that I don't even have to use the toilet I cried for days when Tad couldn't find Midas. This film is truly life changing and should be taught in schools all across the globe.

Sara Lavrof has made a big discovery about King Midas. Tad Jones hasn't seen her in awhile and has yet to reveal his true feelings. She invites him to Vegas for her big reveal. Evil Jack Rackham's gang kidnaps her to force her to find King Midas' secret. Tad needs to rescue her. He's joined by the Mummy and Sara's assistant Tiffany Maze. This is a Spanish animated kids movie. The animation is fine for TV. It's a wacky adventure. I didn't see the first movie and it's perfectly fine. It's not the best but it's passable. The characters are somewhat fun. I like Tad but the Mummy can be a bit too much. The love triangle is lightweight but that fits the tone. The adventure is a series of set pieces and pieces of a collar. It's a lot of McGuffin which is also fine. This is a lot fine.

I read the Condorito's comics since 1996 (I'm 56...). Differently from Mafalda (Argentina) or Mônica (Brasil), Condorito is a true Latin American character. It's simple, funny, without unnecessary complexities. The movie mix Star Trek with Indiana Jones in a very funny way. I loved it!

I enjoyed the first one, because it was a bit different than many other anmiation movies for example from Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks etc. what i liked a story and characters that stood on their own simple but really working lighting and rendering quality realy nice movement animation and sound what i would have liked more of some unexpected plot twist i unique storyline like the first one

I first recommend that you watch the original Tad the explorer as it will help understand the back story and the characters of this movie better. My 4 year old loved both movies and has watched them countless times. The story is funny and entertaining for both kids and adults alike. A breath of fresh air in the cookie cutter industry that kids cartoons seem to have become. Tad is a construction worker who has always dreamed of being a famous explorer and by dumb luck he achieves his dreams and through hard work he is getting his archeology degree and also gets the girl, all while going through hilarious hijinks with the funniest crew, and eventually saving the day.

Decent enough watch, can't say I'd ever watch it again, and can only recommend to a younger audience. This is half "ugh, a kids movie", and half "man, this is dark for a kids movie". The opening scene is a murder, there is a undead mummy character, and (for what looks like a Nickelodeon animation) the bad guys are firing guns, and kidnapping characters at threat of life. That said the animation and writing isn't so bad, and the characters are interesting, if annoying. The whole thing also feels like a Happy Madison plot where "schlubby guy" wins over a successful, beautiful woman. There just isn't a lot here to get behind, but its got just enough to be entertaining. Maybe it just wasn't for me.

Follows a well used formula but has enough fun moments to pass the time. Children will probably enjoy more than adults but still very much watchable as an adult as it avoids becoming to basic.

After a recent discovery is stolen from his beloved Sara, constructor Tad Jones embarks on a quest of helping her recover it before an ancient power granted by King Midas's necklace is unleashed in the hands of the bad guys. Helped by her sidekick and a curious mummy character, they will have to venture in various places around the world, racing to find the missing pieces of the artifact before their evil rivals. It's an animation clearly inspired by the famous Indiana Jones, which presents the adventures of its own Tad Jones in his quest of helping the girl but also winning her heart. The characters involved are quite likable but not so complex and even a bit predictable, doing their job but nothing more, with quite simplistic dialogue most of the time. The plot itself is OK-ish, not bringing anything impressive but also being good enough most of the time, keeping it all together but without any shine, fact which represents a big letdown, at least as far as I'm concerned. The action depicted is also OK, but not spectacular, with plenty of predictable events, or even awkward situations which shouldn't have been there. It's even pretty lame from time to time, not being able to generate enough suspense or drama in order to make you care about the characters or what is about to happen with them. Unfortunately, about the same can be said about the finale, which is predictable and even a bit disappointing, especially regarding the side-characters. The animation on the other hand is the sole fact with managed to impress me. It's so well done, with plenty of details, vibrant colors and amazing scenery. It has to be noted that they have done a very well job in this department. Unfortunately though, a huge disappointment comes from something also related to this. The lips sync is completely off...and I don't mean that the sound is delayed or something. They simply weren't able to make the mouth of all the characters move enough to actually represent the words that were actually heard by the viewers. You could hear plenty of dialogue but the mouths simply couldn't keep up, closed too early or weren't wide open enough to be on par with the tone heard. There isn't much to be liked about this movie. Yes, it looks great from most angles but unfortunately that's about it. You get an average story with average characters and some action maybe a bit above average but with a huge flaw in terms of lips sync. It's an animation which can be easily skipped unfortunately, as it is not able to bring almost anything out of the ordinary, of course besides the previously mentioned white ball.
