I remain a bit perplexed overDora and the Lost City of Gold. The film is clearly geared towards a teen audience – which wasn’t the audience for the original animated series. Perhaps the reasoning is that everyone who watchedDoraas a kid is a teen now? I can imagine some movie exec somewhere throwing that idea out there, and hoping it stuck. And it did! Because here we are. Here’s the synopsis:

Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner) for her most dangerous adventure ever – High School. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey), Diego (Jeff Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant (Eugenio Derbez), and a rag tag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents (Eva Longoria, Michael Peña) and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.

I am definitelynotthe target audience for this film (there’s a fart joke, because of course there is), so I’ll try not to harp on it too much. And at the very least, I’m glad it exists because it gave us this glorious trailer moment:
