heres the trailer it looks to be goofy in the Jumanji 2 line [https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=dora+and+the+city+of+gold+offical+trailer+&view=detail&mid=71493B8459F9B8C83FA271493B8459F9B8C83FA2&FORM=VIRE](https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=dora+and+the+city+of+gold+offical+trailer+&view=detail&mid=71493B8459F9B8C83FA271493B8459F9B8C83FA2&FORM=VIRE) I have 2 problems with it so far 1…erm its disconcerting to see kids a show icon well…stacked … to put it politely and I take it the writers never seen the go Diego go show? he did more dangerous stuff than Dora … anyone gonna watch this on tv? ( i know no one’s going to see it voluntarily unless they have kid relatives ) ---

The problem is that if you use a kid who’s actually the age Dora was supposed to be, they’d barely be able to follow directions. She was at the “cute little kid with lots of imagination” stage, not at the “actually can go out on her own without the whole village throwing a fright” stage. ---

I never watched the cartoon, but this doesn’t look that bad–it seems to acknowledge the silliness of the premise and run with it. It brings to mind the live-action [_Nancy Drew_](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/nancy_drew/reviews/). ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > I found [an earlier trailer](https://youtube.com/watch?v=TnpTcrtsN3U) for the movie. At the risk of being wooshed, that’s a humorous fake trailer that was making the rounds a few years ago, with _Modern Family_’s Ariel Winter as Dora. That’s what I thought this trailer was at first. I’m a little surprised to see that they’re really making a live-action Dora movie. Still, this looks like it may be cute for what it is. ---

The best thing about that trailer: Kesha’s “Boogie Feet” starts playing at about 1:18! ---

She looks like a fourteen year old girl who developing. I agree it has the feel of the last Nancy Drew movie. Sincere, leaning into the silliness and aimed at teen girls. It’ll probably do OK. ---

I’m a little surprised to see that they’re really making a live-action Dora movie. Still, this looks like it may be cute for what it is. apparently, college humor made a parody series that almost looks like the movie until Dora turns into laura croft and dual wields .9s … there’s been 2 attempts to age the universe up to about jr high school but the first was shut down by a protest campaign and the second runs off and on “dora into the city” tried to be socially conscious but ended up going back to the original characters a lot just updated they made the map an app on her tablet ect … although it seems everyones forgotten she has a pair of twin siblings ---

> [@Jonathan\_Chance](#): > > A 17 year old playing 13 or 14. She’s playing a freshman in high school for God’s sake. FWIW, Vox’s original title for their article (and what shows up on Google) was “Dora the Explorer live-action trailer stars very grown-up Nick Jr. icon.” A different title comes up when you click [the article](https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/3/25/18275962/dora-the-explorer-movie-trailer-live-action) but the article still calls her “all grown-up.” [NBC](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/dora-explorer-all-grown-upcoming-live-action-movie-n986951) also uses the phrasing “all grown up.” This is code for “doesn’t look 14.” ---
