A live-action Dora film was announced in 2017,[2] and Moner was cast in the title role in May 2018. Most of the other lead cast members were hired throughout the rest of the year, and filming took place from August to December 2018 in Australia and Peru. This film is set after the events of the animated original television series and was also the first film based on a Nick Jr. Channel series.
As a lead–up to the movie, five out of the six unaired episodes of the original series aired on Nick Jr from July 7 to August 4, 2019. Dora and the Lost City of Gold was theatrically released in the United States on August 9, 2019, the same day in which the final unaired episode of the original series aired on Nick Jr. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Moner's performance and the self-aware humor and grossed $120 million worldwide against a budget of $49 million.
