I think if Dora had been younger say 10-12 year old, it would work better. Dora as a teenager doesn't work as well. 

 

 

Her being a teen would’ve worked if the movie was meant to be an off the walls insane action movie. Unfortunately, this looks like it might as well have been a made for TV film.

That was the one thing that confused me since it was greenlit. Who is the audience for this? Kids today don't know who Dora is, the teens and young adults who grew up with Dora aren't gonna care. Adults will think this looks silly and cheap. There's like nothing interesting to any demographic.

 

Reminds me of that Power Rangers movie. It’s not exact, but familiar.

 

They had a PG13 rating for a franchise geared towards preschoolers. Adults and teens that grew up with the franchise didn’t care. Parents of little kids that watch the show were put off by the PG13 rating, and the school age kids had a bunch of other more appealing super-movies to choose from.

The movie looks like an absolute disaster of a trainwreck...one of the worst trailers I have ever seen. Dora being a hottie can't even save it. Dear god.

Power Rangers definitely doesn’t aim for as young an audience as Dora. Besides, this looks pretty PG, but even that would make it much more “adult” than the show, which was aimed squarely at toddlers.

Maybe not in America. I remember kids being picked on for watching Power Rangers and we must’ve been around 8 years old.

[John Marston]

so Benicio Del Toro's Swiper the Fox will be the films mystery box in the marketing

I mean, I got over Power Rangers when I was seven, but the show does have action and a sense of danger that you don’t see in a Nick Jr. show. Plus, this may seem silly now, but Power Rangers was actually fairly controversial with parents back in the day.

How bad is Paramount hurting for money until we get a Blue Clues movie?

Dora is hardcore. This will end with a knife-fight with Swiper.

I guess if you had to be absolutely fair, 17 is legal in New York, which is apparently where Bishop54 lives...

 

Anyway, I don’t like where this thread is going, so I think I’ll be leaving.

Bumblebee is my ballpark. Given that movie was way different from what the trailers seem to let on. At least this comes across as honest toward its juvenile pursuit.

She will be 18 by the time the movie comes out.

Honestly confused as hell who the intended audience is for this movie.

So...who's making that Dora/Sonic/Pika club?

 

Not me... Although I first wrote about it here.

 

This Dora thing is so... awful, even the Shay can not troll you, Pika-guys, with that. I'm just gonna pretend this movie doesn't exist.

 

PS: And she's not even hot. If she was, that would still be something - but no.
