As such, this ticks all the boxes of the genre: race against time? Check. Trapped family group? Check. Feisty female companion? Check. Helpful red-out-by-family-group description of tunnel in early portions of movie? Check. Tragic past for hero? Check. Convicts who 'turn good' and help out? Check.
It even has a Chekhov's Gun, people!
(for those uninitiated: Chekov's Gun is a dramatic principle that states every element in a story must be necessary e.g. if a 'gun' is introduced in Act 1 it must go off in Act 3)

Amusing in parts, as always the added extras were more entertaining than the main "cast"... i.e. the animals and the mummy stole the show.
What I didn't realise before seeing this is that it's the second film in the series. In 2012 there was Tadeo Jones... or Tad: The Explorer for the non-Spanish audience. The film on it's own makes sense, but you're left with a little confusion at the beginning when you realise everyone knows everyone else.
The animation isn't particularly my sort of thing. It has the look of something you'd expect from a TV show, but generally most average animation is still good animation.
All in all it was a fun story, with some interesting characters in.
