Dora and the Lost City of Gold
Dora, a girl who has spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, now must navigate her most dangerous adventure yet: high school. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey), Diego, and a rag tag group of teens on an adventure to save her parents and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost Inca civilization.
Critics Sentiment
Psychotropic flowers turn the characters into cartoon animation style
Dora dances to conga music at school dance earning mockery
The film dramatically improves when moving from the cringe-worthy high school sequences to the jungle adventure, jumping from 4.8 to 7.1 as critics praised the return to adventure elements.
Critics found the film surprisingly charming despite low expectations, with strong praise for Isabela Moner's performance and the adventure sequences that homage Indiana Jones for kids. The high school segments were widely criticized as cringe-worthy, but reviewers appreciated the film's self-aware humor and distinctive flourishes like the cartoon hallucination sequence. Most critics concluded it succeeds as family entertainment despite its predictable plotting.
