Tad Jones: The Hand of Nefertiti (2012)

Whatever he does, "Tadeo" shouldn't let his dog "Jeff" go visit an exhibition of priceless Egyptian relics with the cowardly parrot "Belzoni". Especially if it's then going to remove the partially mummified hand of Queen Nefertiti from it's glass case, reunite it with some ancient hieroglyphs whilst simultaneously passing great voltages through it and peeing into an electric multi-socket. Why? Well she is bound to get very narked, exact some painful revenge and then need pacifying with an expensive manicure. That's why! I quite like these short adventure animations that take us to mythological settings (usually in museums) and combine a bit of history, comedy and slapstick action. This one hits the ground running, is colourful, lively and good fun.
