Jumbo the Elephant (Bronnum) Jumbo the Elephant is a concrete and reinforced steel statue by Canadian artist Winston Bronnum. The statue was commissioned by the city of St. Thomas, Ontario to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Jumbo, a circus elephant that was killed in the community after being struck by a train. The city funded the $70,000 sculpture in part with the sale of Indiana Jones-style hats and commemorative coins. The statue was constructed at Bronnum's Animaland Park in Sussex, New Brunswick and transported 1,722 kilometres to St. Thomas. For ease of transport the upper legs and body were poured separately from the base and lower legs. The statue weights 38 tonnes and the base weighs 100 tonnes.
Tadeo Jones Tadeo Jones is a 2004 Spanish short animated film directed by Enrique Gato. It tells the story of Tadeo Jones, an adventurer who enters a pyramid where he finds a family of mummies. The project of this film was born when Gato wanted to make a short film containing more action and humour than his previous projects, so he decided to make a parody of the adventure genre, whose representative figure is Indiana Jones. The story contains many elements from the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (Indiana Jones) series of movies. The synopsis, in the director's words, is "adventurer Tadeo Jones is a little foolish but stubborn to explore an ancient pyramid and will run into a family of mummies."
