Tad et le secret du roi Midas

My entire family loved the first one and we bought this as soon as we saw there was a sequel. Though not as good as the original, we laughed quite a bit and really enjoyed this sequel.

I enjoyed the first one, because it was a bit different than many other anmiation movies for example from Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks etc.

what i liked

• a story and characters that stood on their own
• simple but really working lighting and rendering quality
• realy nice movement animation and sound

what i would have liked more of

• some unexpected plot twist
• i unique storyline like the first one

A pleasant family film, and well worth a watch. A little scary in parts and might suit children 7-8 years and above, but nothing terrible. Certainly an action packed film that holds the attention throughout. An undead 'Mummy' character provides light relief and quite a lot of comedy, as do the animal characters. The central characters are like-able, the 'baddies' suitably bad. My children were riveted throughout and thoroughly enjoyed it. Fun film. Recommended!

Considering the fact that this movie cost only ~9 million euros, Lightbox Animation Studios did a terrific job. Characters are developed with tremendous passion and the charm of Momia could rival even Pixar productions. The story is full of warmth and emotion, while the romance sub-plot has the right balance of superficiality and drama. There is not much depth, but it's expected for an U rated movie.

However, while the main characters are animated with love, the environment feels too empty and unpopulated. Even though the car chase scenes take place in the middle of the day, there are barely any visual dynamics in the background, e.g. people. At times, the movement of distant objects/characters looked quite wonky and unrealistic, breaking the immersion of the scenes.

Overall, Tad 2 is a decent movie for the younger audience.

I Went to see this with my 8 year old daughter and both really enjoyed it. Very easy to follow.

Loved the bird and dog friendship but did find the romance sub-plot between the two main characters a little weak.
