Tadeo 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 Raiders of the Lost Ark. 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."

Production

The character Tadeo Jones was created in 2001 as a parody of Indiana Jones. However, the project did not start until two years later when Gato begun to write the script. In September 2003, negotiations begun with La Fiesta production and four other scripts were written.
