History Film / DoraAndTheLostCityOfGold

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: At some point after Boots rescued Dora and her friends from Alejandro, the Guardians of Parapata were somehow able to [[RockBeatsLaser defeat mercenaries who are armed with assault rifles and handguns despite themselves being armed with only crossbows, swords and spears]].

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

'''Previews:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8t5PxB4aVk Official trailer]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksj69JaBrAo Second Trailer]]

* VillainBall: [[spoiler: While Alejandro manages to avert it for most of the film by keeping himself as an incompetent ally of Dora, after he reveals himself he rides it by triggering a booby trap that he could have avoided with Dora's help.]]

'''Alejandro''': [[spoiler: (''into walkie-talkie'') This is Alpha Leader.]]\\

'''Alejandro''': [[spoiler: No, I just outwitted you. As I've outwitted every adversary that came before you. The greatest investigative minds of the century have failed to thwart my heists! The crown jewels of the Ivory Coast, the Comtesse de Vendome necklace and now the Gold of Parapata! Who would've believed that my greatest achievement--the final act of a prosperous treasure hunting career--would find me squaring off against a socially inept jungle nerd and three high school losers! Now if you please, you will lead me to Parapata.]]

* ArcWords: "We did it" and variations thereof, are said whenever the character survive or otherwise succeed in a particular task...[[MythologyGag again much like the original series]].

* TranslationConvention: As the movie takes place in South America, the characters are presumably speaking Spanish. [[spoiler:Boots communicates largely via noises provided by Dee Bradley Baker, but, in the face of danger, can talk to Dora in the voice of Danny Trejo. She's as surprised as we are. When the other characters return, all they hear is Dora making monkey noises at Boots.]]

* {{Mayincatec}}: Defied. The lost civilization is specifically Inca and it's based on Incan myth and culture. This was a [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/23/movies/dora-the-explorer-peru.html deliberate choice by the filmmakers]], who wanted to avoid HollywoodHistory.

* AdultFear: The entire conflict involves four teens being kidnapped and shipped off to an unfamiliar environment. That would definitely strike immense fear in any parent, especially with increased numbers of human trafficking cases nowadays.

* CassandraTruth: A more villainous example as after Alejandro survives the quicksand trap, he breaks down and proclaims himself to be a bad guy, but Dora tries to comfort him and convince him otherwise, believing that he just feels guilty for leading the high schoolers into danger. However, once he reveals his true motivations, it turns out that his proclamation of being a bad guy was not an exaggeration.

'''Sammy:''' "Oh look, Dora brought a knife on the field trip, everyone!"

Creator/IsabelaMoner plays the titular character, with Jeffrey Wahlberg as her cousin Diego, Creator/MichaelPena and Creator/EvaLongoria as her father and mother Cole and Elena, Creator/DannyTrejo as the voice of Boots, Creator/BenicioDelToro as the voice of Swiper, and Marc Weiner reprising his role as Map and creators Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh serving as executive producers.

* {{Mayincatec}}: Averted. The lost civilization is specifically Inca and it's based on Incan myth and culture. This was a [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/23/movies/dora-the-explorer-peru.html deliberate choice by the filmmakers]], who wanted to avoid HollywoodHistory.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While the cartoon was made for preschoolers, this film has much more perilous and life-threatening situations, there are actual references to dying/getting killed and ToiletHumor though it does retain the spirit of the show. There's also a scene where Dora asks [[spoiler:Diego]] if he wants to "mate" with [[spoiler:Sammy]]. The mating scene is also [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar quite shocking as Dora never had any sexual innuendos]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: A ''lot'' more than you'd expect from the original show, especially Dora's references to mating, and even a scene with two scorpions that do it.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Swiper was always an antagonist in the cartoon, but he was more of a mischievous inconvenience than an actual threat. Here, he's aligned with dangerous mercenaries.

* BlingOfWar: The spears wielded by the Guardians of Parapata have tips coated with gold.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Boots communicates largely via noises provided by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker, [[spoiler:but, in the face of danger, can talk to Dora in the voice of Creator/DannyTrejo. She's as surprised as we are]].

* ShipTease: While Diego and Sammy have a BigDamnKiss, there is only the slightest hints of something between Dora and Randy and it's mostly on Randy's side.
