![]() I would give this film 5 out of 5 as although it did not necessarily keep my attention, it did for my 11-year-old son and not many films can boast about that.Īnimation, Adventure | Spain, 2022 | U | DVD | Paramount Pictures | Dir. Tad the Lost Explorer and the Curse of the Mummy is rated U and runs for 86 minutes. The third film in the Tad franchise, and the latest instalment became the second highest-grossing animated film in Spain in 2022 and the second-biggest opening weekend for a Spanish film in 2022. Tad the Lost Explorer and the Curse of the Mummy will also be available in a 2-Movie Collection on Digital platforms with the second film in the franchise, Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas. I did feel that this was more of a children’s movie rather than family viewing and it appears the rest of the family agreed, that said, both myself and my husband were caught laughing at the silly moments. He got so engrossed in what he was watching that he ended up about 2 feet from the TV. There was a lot of laughter coming from him, especially at and from the Mummy and some genuine “Oh no” moments when watching Tad. My son watched the entire movie, and by that, I mean it kept his attention for the entire movie, which is a good indicator that there is just the right amount of dialogue between skits and action. Now, Tad must team up with his friends Sara and his ‘oldest pal’ Mummy to race across the far corners of the Earth to stop the curse of the Emerald Tablet before things get really out of hand. ![]() The animation gives off an Indiana Jones vibe, but rather than Indie’s almost unintentional humour, we have Tad’s clumsiness, but it works, especially for younger views which is what makes the film silly and funny, as well as being filled with adventure, artefacts and of course booby traps.Īn ancient spell is unleashed when a slight blunder destroys a rare sarcophagus. A winning combination for viewers young and old. The movie covers all the basics that you want from bullies, a comedic sidekick in the form of Mummy the Mummy, two faithful pets (that end up as one), an obnoxious companion in the form of Ra Amon Ah and a whole heap of adventure. Paramount home entertainment has nailed it with the animation in this movie and that makes it an easy watch. He did it to make ends meet.Tad The Lost Explorer and the Curse of the Mummy is the latest film in the Tad franchise, and to quote my son: “ This is better than the first one!” He wasn’t an eccentric millionaire wanting to prove this, that, or the other. He didn’t participate in these many events out of curiosity or some sort of inner drive, but simply for revenue. A portrait of the 'world's greatest living explorer' Sir Ranulph Fiennes, a film that goes beyond the record breaking achievements to explore the man behind the myth. ![]() Far too frequently, when questioned why they climb mountains or engage in equally dangerous activities, most adventurers and thrill-seekers respond with the tired and clichéd “because it’s there.”Īlthough born a “royal,” Fiennes didn’t enter the world wealthy. What is most surprising about Fiennes was in hearing his reasons for becoming an explorer in the first place. A further example of the impeccable character and modest grace of Fiennes takes place with the discussion of his “baronetcy.” Largely a ceremonial and useless title bestowed by the Crown, it is hereditary, and upon his birth, Fiennes became the 3rd Baronet of Banbury, thus making him a knight.įiennes bristles at being referred to as “sir,” claiming that being rewarded for inheriting a title or award for simply being born is meaningless, and that the only people who should receive such honors should do so by earning it with merit.įiennes was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1993 for “human endeavor and for charitable services.” His various expeditions also raised 14 million pounds ($16,440,000) for various charities up to that point and, since then, another 5 million pounds ($5,870,000).
