Dora the Explorer Goes Full Tomb Raider in the First Trailer forDora and the Lost City of Gold

In our strange , postmodern moving-picture show world , it was inevitable that beloved cartoon cartographer Dora the Explorer would eventually get a live - military action adaptation . But I did n’t expect it would be basically be Teen Tomb Raider .

badly , bomber in Lara Croft for Dora here and the assumption would be almost completely unaltered : a teenager Dora ( Isabella Moner ) is hale to go to high school while her explorer parents ( Eva Longoria , Michael Peña ) search for a lose urban center of atomic number 79 . Until she and her friends ( including her first cousin Diego , act by Jeffrey Wahlberg ) are nobble by dangerous mercenaries and forced into a jungle expedition feature ancient ruins , secret to solve , and killers just two step behind .

With that said , this is right smart more blithesome than the stuff Lara gets up to , homicidal villain aside . It seems like a fun time . Except that , strangely , Boots , the monkey , is n’t wearing any thrill . Then why … why is he called that ? That was like his only thing .
