Dove Review

Tad the Explorer is back for another adventure in Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas. The video images are terrific, including a snow-capped mountain, a temple which holds great treasures—and mysteries—as well as a storm at sea and the pursuit of King Midas’ golden touch. It is an action-packed adventure and a tug-of-war between the good guys and the villains.

Tad is ready to propose to his girlfriend Sarah—if life ever slows down long enough for him to take the time to do that. Tad is the “Indiana Jones” of the movie, although Sarah certainly helps him with her knowledge and wisdom during their latest adventure. The theme of the “sacrifice of love” plays a big part in this picture, and the film does a good job in making it clear that people are the real treasures in life, more than material objects. Yet there is plenty of fun along the way in this energetic and rousing adventure. We are more than happy to award it our Dove Seal for ages 12+. Our heroes and villains and their action-packed adventures makes this one worth seeing.
