DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD (Theatrical Release USA 2019)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.8|5.0 Starsìì

Dora and the Lost City of Gold does not deliver the same level of entertainment as the television series. This story’s premise is nice and the idea good, but the portrayal fails and it quickly loses audience interest. It’s not the best or the worst, but should be avoided if one looks for the highest quality entertainment for their children.
