Tadeo Jones

Description says language is Spanish, but as I cant remember any dialogue don't let this put you off whatever your native tongue. The "Jones" in the title may give some clue as to the nature of this brilliant little animated piece that has the rare quality of appealing both to youngsters and adults but on different levels. It started like an adventure drama but soon had me chuckling all the way to the end. The last few scenes are accurately portrayed and funny, even funnier for cynics who've "been there".

I know very little about the production team but with a finished product as good as this you could be forgiven for thinking that it came from a Hollywood biggie!

I can talk very well about Tadeo Jones. Basically because i have produced it :-) Our goal was to make a high quality 35 mm animation shortcut, with home based computers.

Tadeo began like a parody of Indiana Jones, but screenplay after screenplay began to develop its own personality and became a visual comic. We made 9 versions of the screenplay.

Tadeo lasts 9 minutes 17 seconds, which took us almost a whole year to produce. It is made at a 2k Resolution and needs 85 GB of Hardisk space without sound.
