I feel like it's the only way they could have possibly brought Dora into the "real world" all the while still maintaining the integrity and feel of the character and show. I mean, really: we have the classic action heroes, our Harrison Fords, our Lara Crofts, but we've never seen a young Latina girl trekking through the jungle, leading the way…all the while greeting poisonous frogs and singing songs about her backpack and pooping.ĭora is weird, and they know it and own it. (Or maybe the monkey is just a physical way to manifest the voices inside her head…but I digress.)Īt any rate, Dora is the hero by default, but she is never painted as anything but "quirky home-schooled weirdo jungle girl" and it's exactly the hero we need. They know Dora's a complete dork who breaks the imaginary fourth wall and who's best friends with a monkey who she pretends can talk to her. The twist being that Dora and the Lost City of Gold knows what it's about, and they own it. Now, the general story is pretty generic PG action movie in an " Indiana Jones meets National Treasure meets Nickelodeon special" kind of way…but here's where it twists.
