One of the most popular kids’ animated TV series, now Dora the Explorer live-action TV series will be coming up, after the live-action movie was released back in 2019.
Dora the Explorer is the American children’s animated TV series, first premiered on August 14, 2000, to August 9, 2019, on Nickelodeon. Created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes, and Eric Weiner, Dora the Explorer revolves around a young girl named Dora with her famous and super complete backpack, who is accompanied by her monkey named Boots, as they are exploring things around them, with the bad thief named Swiper. In each episode, they are trying to solve puzzles and riddles. This show is very interactive, as Dora is frequently asking the audiences to help her solve the riddles.
After the popularity of the animated TV series, Dora the Explorer live-action movie was released back on August 9, 2019 by Paramount Pictures. Directed by James Bobin, the movie runs for 102 minutes, and earned US$119.7 million.
