Dora and the Lost City comes to Prime Video today! A light and summer movie to watch with the family. By the way, at what age can you push your little ones forward?
Recommended for ages 8 and up – currently on Prime Video.
Once:
After years of exploring the jungle with her parents, Dora prepares for the most difficult test of her life: entering high school! His explorer spirit resurfaces when he must fly to rescue his parents in danger.
Accompanied by her faithful monkey grandfather, cousin Diego, and colorful new friends, Dora embarks on a crazy adventure that will lead her to solving the mystery of the lost city of gold.
What they love:
The live-action adaptation of the animated Dora’s Adventures caused a lot of ink when it came out in 2019. In this continuation of the animated series, he is a teenager with all the difficulties that come with it. But she is above all an exemplary heroine, brave, bright, determined and full of energy. A kind of Lara Croft at the height of a child who could inspire them.
The Lost City uses the codes of adventure films, a genre that particularly appeals to children. Treasure hunts, Inca temples, puzzles to solve… all this takes place in a tropical jungle full of dangers. This should give your little ones pause, especially if they love other genre films like Benjamin Gates.
Like the cartoon, Dora and the Lost City is a naive and good-natured film. Screenwriters thoroughly played the card of humor and self-mockery. The opening minutes are full of references to the series, including the flagship music.Tut tut tut Dora !” Which some parents have come to hate over time (we’re one of them). Some of the film’s scenes make you smile, even when you’re an adult, such as the scene where the characters turn into cartoon characters after inhaling a hallucinogenic toxin.
Like the animated series, Dora and the Lost City is more educational and introduces South American culture to its audience. However, don’t expect to find the interactive aspect of the animated series, where the heroine talks to the audience to get them to participate – except in this first quarter, when the young girl breaks the fourth wall. The rest of the movie is pretty reasonable, but indulges in some jokes, as evidenced by this song where Dora teaches us how to bury her poo in the woods…
Fun and colorful family movie!
What might be bothering them:
Rest assured that Dora and the Lost City won’t give your kids nightmares. But seeing the heroine’s parents in danger could potentially unsettle them. The jungle and the surprises that await the adventurer and his friends may eventually scare them, but it will be enough to hold their hand very tightly to calm them down.
Be warned, and even though the main characters are teenagers, the movie may not appeal to your older kids.
What will they keep inside:
The moral of the story is pretty simple. Like Dora, who discovers a new world by going to high school, you don’t have to change to fit in or be accepted. Everyone should find their place to make new friends.
The film also promotes beautiful values like courage and friendship and emphasizes family. So many things that are worth more than any treasure…
