More Dora novelization reads

Wow, Dora is well educated for a child of her age about colonialist propaganda in historical media.

[up] Who wrote this, whoever came up with that CollegeHumor Dora thing?!

It reads so bizarrely!

Oddly enough, I'm loving this more and more as weirder and weirder shit gets revealed.

It's almost as if the writer KNOWS this movie is going to go sideways with everyone and is just doing whatever.

Honestly, I’m just wondering if a character is going to get tired of Dora talking to the “audience” and say something to the effect of “Why do you keep doing that?! Who are you talking to?! There’s no one there!!!”

We got our first(?) review:

The Hollywood Reporter calls the movie "a story about hormonal teens aimed at little kids."

Make of that what you will, but it sounds like trouble.

...well that’s a really creepy review of 'why aren’t these teenagers acting sexier'. :|

Here’s a better one by Yolanda Machado.

[up][up] Yeah, that review was, um, pointing out that teenagers weren't acting like hormonal teenagers? He realizes that this movie aimed at family audiences, right?

There are 3 reviews so far on RT, 2 positive and 1 negative. The positive ones point out that the movie succeeds at being what it is; a Indiana Jones for kids movie.

60 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. This movie has a higher review score on that site than any of this years live-action Disney remakes. We're through the looking glass here, folks.

[up] Ehhhhhhh. I'm still not convinced.

The ads are still cringey and I've grown beyond Dora. I'd rather watch Hobbs & Shaw

This film feels like a joke gone too far more than an actual film. No one else has done a Darker and Edgier version of a preschool cartoon.

I don't think it comes out here 'til the 16th, but for those in the US at least we're two days away. Curious as to how it'll be received now. I'd love it to be good, so I can force friends to go see the Dora the Explorer film.

Update on the Rotten Tomatoes score. It's sitting at 21 critic reviews now, 81% overall. If that doesn't go down, perhaps my dream will, at last, be achieved.

I imagine it's because it's parodying a ton of stuff about the show that will make it watchable for everyone that goes to see it, not only kids who grew up with Dora but their parents too. As long as it's not like the fucking Oogieloves.

[up] Dora is nearly 20, so many who grew up on it are probably parents of kids who watch it now.

I've always been outside the age group, but I have memories watching the show with my sister who loved it. So I'm kind of excited for the movie because she is excited for it. It's kind of her Transformers.

During a time when a younger cousin was living with my family, her mother would occasionally pop Dora into the DVD.

....If they're gonna do this, I want a joke where everybody tells Swiper not to swipe, and he just sits there for a moment...

...and then grabs the thing and does a runner.

It's been a long time coming for the guy I'd say.
