Dora the Explorer and the Lost City of Gold

I’m not exactly the target audience for this and my kids a little old for Dora now, but my daughter in particular, enjoyed the adventures of Dora, Backpack and Boots when she was growing up, so how would Dora the movie stack up?

Pretty well it would seem, a really enjoyable, warm hearted and fun big screen, live action transition for everyone’s favourite young explorer.

Dora played with a real charm by Isabela Moner, sees the film mixing smart nods to the original cartoon with a fun Indiana Jones, Tombraider adventure, making full use of and knowing nods to the Explorer adventure movie genre.

Moner is well supported by a good central cast, who all bring the necessary fun and energy to the film.

A really well done and lovingly handled film version of the cartoon, plenty of fun for kids and grown up kids alike.
