Currently in the Netflix charts: This is what Dora and the Golden City is about
In the story of the live-action film, teenage Dora (Isabela Merced) has to put her thirst for adventure on the back burner because her parents (Eva Longoria and Michael Peña) want to send her to school in the big city. Together with the monkey Boots (voiced in the original by Danny Trejo), her cousin Diego (Jeff Wahlberg) and other friends, she soon has to save her mother and father from dangers in the jungle and solve the mystery of an ancient Inca civilization.
The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives Dora and the Golden City a strong average of 85 percent. In his text for the British daily newspaper The Telegraph Robbie Collin wrote in 2019, among other things:
‘It could be that there’s no more pleasant surprise at the movies this year – really! – than this live-action adaptation of Dora the Explorer, the long-running Nickelodeon cartoon. Sweet, exciting, silly and featuring an elaborate poop joke that’s actually earned, Dora and the Golden City feels tailor-made for summer vacation.
