James Bobin's live-action film adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon animated series 'Dora the Explorer,' caters largely to a built-in fan base. Dora was only 7 when the TV audience met her in the introductory episode of the series and it's been 20 years since then. This live-action film begins with that first episode origin element. We get to meet Dora as an adventure-loving kid living with her explorer Parents and then –cut to a preteen grown-up Dora( Isabela Moner) and her first experience in L.A., studying at Silverlake High. If you are expecting a tale about raging hormones, young lust and boys then perish that thought. Her Parents' ( Micheal Pena & Eva Longoria Parker) have already warned her about those vicious excesses so good girl Dora whose only interest lies in exploring the wild goes that way even in high school.

The always perky, lively and inquisitive (rather exaggerated and toonish) Dora gets kidnapped during a field trip to the Natural History Museum, by a gang who gets to know about her parents' attempt to find the Parapata (Lost City of Gold). And the adventure in the wild begins.
