Dora and the Lost

City of Gold

Young explorer Dora (Isabela Moner)

embarks on an adventure to save her parents

and solve the seemingly impossible mystery

behind a lost Incan civilization – joined by

friends including Boots the monkey (Danny

Trejo), cousin Diego (Jeff Wahlberg) and a

ragtag group of teens.

FIVE FACTS:

1. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live-
   action adaptation of Nickelodeon television
   series Dora the Explorer.


2. The movie is directed by James Bobin,
   while other cast members include Eugenio
   Derbez, Michael Peña and Eva Longoria.


3. Isabela Moner told Forbes that
   she learned the Quechua language to
   play Dora.


4. Filming took place entirely on
   Australia’s Gold Coast in 2018.


5. Writing for Variety, Peter Debruge
   observed: “Whereas most of the cast play
   broad, borderline-slapstick versions of
   their characters, Moner has the wide eyes
   and ever-chipper attitude we associate
   with Dora, but adds a level of charisma the
   animated character couldn’t convey.”
