Tad The Lost Explorer
Tad (Kerry Shale) dreams of being a famous archeologist but so far has only managed to dig up junk. When he suddenly gets the chance to impersonate his friend Professor Humbert (Mac McDonald) and travel to the lost city of Paititi with an ancient key, he jumps at the chance. But when he finds the one-handed Kopponen will do whatever it takes to steal the key from him, including kidnapping Professor Lavrof (also Mac McDonald), he'll need the help of the professor's daughter Sarah (Modern Family's Ariel Winter), his guide Freddy (Cheech Marin), and the intrepid bird Capataz to find the lost city before it's too late.
Tad the Lost Explorer
He appears to be an archaeological explorer, but later turns out to actually be a mercenary from Odysseus Inc. who seeks to find the Idol of Paititi in order to gain immortality. He is secretly Kopponen's boss.
Max Mordon is idolized by the hero, Tad Stones, a brickmason who dreams of being an adventurous explorer like him. Mordon is also dating Sara Lavrof, who joins Tad in his adventure to retrieve the lost idol of Paititi, which is being hunted by Odysseus Inc. (led by the pursuing Kopponen). In the scientific community, however, Mordon is regarded a joke and a bad-taste one, with real archaeologists like Tad's friend Prof. Humbert and Sara's father Prof. Lavrof both showing little respect for Mordon's recklessness and the fact that he seems to be more concerned with cultivating his celebrity image than doing actual archaeology of any kind.
Max Mordon is first introduced as a famous archaeological explorer who is admired by Tad Stones, who calls himself his "number one fan" and dreams of being like him. However, Mordon is actually an corrupt mercenary who works for the evil organization called Odysseus Inc. and has the goal to search the idol of Paititi in order to achieve eternal life. Mordon even pretends to be kidnapped to hide his true plans from Professor Lavrof's daughter, Sara, to whom Max was engaged. Additionally, he was more interested in preserving his celebrity image than doing real archaeology.
Tad is a celebrity archaeologist and adventurer just like his hero Max Mordon... in his dreams! In reality, Tad is a Chicago construction worker. One day, however, he is mistaken for a real professor and takes his place on a flight to Peru in search of the lost city of Paititi.
The lost explorer, Tad, is once again on a whole new adventure! A mysterious curse will take you through the cities of Veracruz, Chicago, Paris and Cairo on an epic journey to find the emerald tablet and save your friends.
The lost explorer of the unwieldy title is construction worker Tad Jones (voiced by Trevor White), who fantasises about a life of archaeological discovery alongside the object of his affections, globe-trotting explorer Sara Lavrof (Alex Kelly). 041b061a72
