Dora And The Lost City of Gold is the latest from Michael Peña, Isabela Moner, Eva Longoria and Benicio Del Toro.

Directed by James Bobin and based on the Dora The Explorer children’s television series, a teenage Dora takes on the new adventure of high school. However, Dora soon finds herself and some new school friends on a jungle adventure to save her parents and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.

The fact that Dora is a teenager in this movie and not seven years old, like in the series, is an interesting change I didn’t expect.

A part of me already misses the cuteness of seven-year-old Dora, which is strange since I’ve never watched a full episode of the TV series, so I shouldn’t really be too attached to Dora or the outcome of this film. Yet, I’m intrigued.

I see myself trying and failing to avoid comparing this movie to Hey, Arnold! The Jungle Movie (2017). Such is life.

Danny Trejo, Q’orianka Kilcher, Temuera Morrison, Isabela Moner, Madeleine Madden, Jeffrey Wahlberg and Christopher Kirby also star.

Dora And The Lost City of Gold Release Dates: August 2nd, 2019 (US); August 16th, 2019 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
