Tadeo Jones 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 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."
