Storyline

Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora for her most dangerous adventure ever: high school. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots, Diego, a mysterious jungle inhabitant, and a ragtag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost Inca civilization.

Trivia

This is the first time where an animated Nickelodeon TV show becomes a theatrical live action feature film from Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies since The Last Airbender (2010). Not counting the three live action The Fairly OddParents (2001) movies A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! (2011), A Fairly Odd Christmas (2012) and A Fairly Odd Summer (2014), which were all made for TV films instead of theatrical films.

Crazy Credits

There is a statement from the Fox Council of America (it's fictitious, it has Swiper's face on the logo) at the start of the film: "Everything you are about to see is true. Except that foxes don't swipe. That is a hurtful stereotype."

Alternate Versions

In some theatrical prints, the brief portion of the film where the man starts running away early in the animated hallucination scene has been cut by the country's distributor.

User Reviews

Was really decent

I enjoyed that to be honest a lot more then I thought I would. Isabela moner's acting was amazing she's going to be an amazing actor. The best way to describe this film is by saying it's like a PG tomb raider.
