About Tad, the Lost Explorer, and the Secret of King Midas
Tad dreams of becoming an archaeologist traveling the world, uncovering hidden secrets and lost treasure, but his job working construction keeps him daydreaming instead of exploring. The chance of a lifetime comes when he is invited to attend archaeologist Sara Lavrof's presentation of her latest discovery - the papyrus that proves the existence of the Necklace of Midas, the legendary King who turned everything he touched into solid gold.
Directed by Enrique Gato, David Alonso, Tad, the Lost Explorer, and the Secret of King Midas leans on a strong ensemble — Óscar Barberán, Michelle Jenner, Adriana Ugarte — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2017.
