Tad the Lost Explorer and the Emerald Tablet

Tad the Lost Explorer and the Emerald Tablet (Tadeo Jones 3: La Tabla Esmeralda, 2022) is a Spanish animated adventure from director Enrique Gato that you can watch online on iFILM. Tad is back — the accidental archaeologist who manages to break things that have survived thousands of years — and this time he cracks open a sarcophagus and triggers an ancient curse that puts Mummy, Jeff, and Belzoni in immediate danger.

The fix requires the Emerald Tablet, which means a cross-continent chase from Mexico to Chicago, Paris to Egypt, with virtually everyone working against him. Only Sara sticks around to help. At 89 minutes the film moves fast, the gags land for kids and parents alike, and the whole thing has the kind of cheerful stakes where you know things will work out but the ride there is genuinely fun. A solid pick for family movie night. Stream Tad the Lost Explorer and the Emerald Tablet (2022) online on iFILM.
