Dora and Her Friends are Not Safe in New 'Dora and the Lost City of Gold' Clip

Paramount Pictures has released (via Fandango) a brand new clip from their upcoming live-action Dora the Explorer movie, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, featuring our titular explorer along with her cousin Diego and their friends as they try to run away from some flying arrows. Check out the clip by hitting play on the video player below!


Dora’s going on her biggest adventure yet in Dora the Explorer, inspired by Nickelodeon's beloved animated preschool series Dora the Explorer, swinging into theatres across the U.S. from Friday, August 9! #DoraMovie

Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner) for her most dangerous adventure ever – High School. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey), Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant (Eugenio Derbez), and a rag tag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents (Eva Longoria, Michael Peña) and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.

Tickets for Dora and the Lost City of Gold are available to purchase now!


To celebrate the brand-new movie, Nickelodeon has launched a Dora the Explorer-themed pop-up channel Dora TV on Pluto TV! Launched on Wednesday, July 17, Dora TV is airing episodes of Dora the Explorer 24/7. Nickelodeon’s animated adventure series (179 x 22-minutes) revolves around a young bilingual Latina who ventures through tropical settings and overcomes obstacles to reach her goals. Aimed at kids two to five, the preschool-skewing pop-up channel is the most recent addition to Pluto TV’s lineup since the streamer was acquired by Viacom earlier this year. The kidcaster announced its plans to launch branded channels on the network for its classic shows, including All That, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Fairly OddParents. Dora TV joins the Nickelodeon-branded Nick Pluto TV and Nick Jr. Pluto TV on the ad-supported free streaming service.

The Nick Jr. channel has also been treating fans with the premieres of new Dora the Explorer specials throughout July!

First launched in 2000, Dora the Explorer is now viewed by more than 100 million people in 150 countries and territories, according Pluto.

To further celebrate the movie, Nickelodeon and Paramount have launched the "What's In My Backpack" (#WhatsInMyBackpack) sweepstakes, in which fans can win awesome prizes, including: Herschel daypack, a Dora and the Lost City of Gold T-shirt, a Mini Maglite Pro LED Flashlight in Rose Gold, a pack of Yambas Plantain Chips with Chilli and Lime, and a Dora and the Lost City of Gold yo-yo! To enter, record yourself showing what you keep in your backpack, and upload it to Facebook (in this post), Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #DoraMovieGivaway! The contest closes Friday, August 9, 2019 at 8:59 a.m. (PT). Visit http://whatsinmybackpacksweeps.com/ for more information. Good luck! :)


Update (7/22) - To promote Dora and the Lost City of Gold, the stars of the movie will be making special appearances on chat shows in the coming weeks, including:

Jimmy Kimmel Live! (ABC)

Jimmy managed to snag some time with Quentin Tarantino, director of the upcoming comedy/drama, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is based partly on the Manson murders. He appears on Monday’s show.

On Thursday, he’ll welcome Senator Bernie Sanders to share about what he can do for the county if he is able to unseat Donald Trump and Eugenio Derbez (From Dora and the Lost City of Gold) and The Raconteurs will serve as musical guests.

In between, Casey Affleck (Light of My Life) and Jack Quaid (from Amazon’s new superhero comedy, The Boys) appear on Tuesday and Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones) and Rascal Flatts appear on Wednesday. Friday’s show is “to be announced” as of now.

The Late Late Show With James Corden (CBS)

This week, James Corden will sit down with Stana Katic, formerly known for appearing on Castle. Perhaps she’ll spill info on how she and Nathan Fillion actually got along on the show. She appears on tonight’s broadcast along with Paul Scheer and The 1975 as the musical guests.

Actress Eva Longoria and actor Thomas Lennon will show up on Tuesday; Sutton Foster, Eddie Izzard and Dave Ross will perform a sand-up comedy routine on Wednesday; and on Thursday, Actor-comedian Keegan-Michael Key, Terry Crews and magician Joshua Jay will magically appear on Thursday’s show. Friday’s guest list is TBA at a later date.

Nickelodeon Partners to Launch Content on Aussie Kids Speaker Birde

Nickelodeon Australia is partnering with Birde to launch Nickelodeon content on the world's first smart media player for children! From EFTM:


Nickelodeon content launching on Aussie kids speaker Birde

When you’re a startup and you’re trying to get ahead one of the challenges is to ensure you have the right relationships and partnerships to further both your business and the product in the eyes of consumers.

Aussie startup Birde have had one heck of a success story hit their business through a new partnership with Nickelodeon.

Birde is a speaker – not a Bluetooth Speaker – a speaker that is Wifi connected and app controlled but aimed at kids.


Parents use the App to set it up, kids use smart tokens called “Seeds” to play content.

Audiobooks, Music and TV shows are played directly off the device’s built-in storage and are started with the tap of a “seed”

Kids can simply pickup their favourite bit of content, and tap it on the speaker for it to instantly play.

If it is video content the Parent can set the Birde up to pair with a Smart TV in the home to show the video too.

Great idea, and we’ll have a full review soon. At launch Birde were fortunate to have great content available from the ABC and even the Wiggles, so when the founders received an email from Nickelodeon you can imagine their jaws dropped.

Nickelodeon come knocking, you run to answer the door.

And they did. A few months later and Nickelodeon content is now available for Birde speakers.

Amazing story of success in a company with a product that has only been in market for a little over six months.

Your kids can now access content like PAW Patrol and Dora the Explorer, with more to follow.

“We are excited to be adding Nickelodeon titles to provide an even larger stable of quality content for Australian kids, as we continue to provide growing options for young children to access content and technology in a safe and controlled manner,” said Jack Lord, Chief Executive Officer of Birde.

“We have received overwhelming feedback from our customers and content providers, with today’s announcement a strong endorsement of our direction and potential as we address concerns important to so many parents around the world. We are excited as to where this opportunity may take us.”

There are thousands of hours of content from places like Nickelodeon, ABC Kids, Universal Music, StoryBots, Dinosnores and Omens Studios.

A Birde speaker will set you back $299 (Bing Lee, Betta Electrical, Myer Online), and “seeds” of content retail for between $11.95 and $29.95 from their website.

Kira Kosarin Opens Up About Working on 'The Thundermans'

During her new feature with Prune magazine, Actor and Nickelodeon star Kira Kosarin recently opened up about working on Nickelodeon's hit live-action comedy series The Thundermans during her recent feature with Prune magazine!:


CEST PRUNE: We’ve seen you in many films and series along the way, but your first reoccurring role took place on “The Thundermans” as Phoebe Thunderman. Talk to us about this experience.

KIRA: The Thundermans was the gig that changed my life. I worked on it from ages 14-20; it was literally my entire adolescence. It’s where I learned everything I know about the biz, it’s the job that allowed me to travel the world, it was a really special experience.

CEST PRUNE: What did starring in a series for five years teach you?

KIRA: It taught me the responsibility of having an entire crew of 200 people dependent on my ability to be professional and consistent and reliable. It taught me how to treat my coworkers like family.

Technically, it was like film school. When I was 16, I was accepted to Stanford to study psychology, but shortly thereafter Thundermans got unexpectedly extended for more seasons, and I ended up staying in LA to finish the show’s run. I decided that if I was going to stay in LA keep working, I was going to treat my set like a university, and spend every free moment using the resources around me to learn the ins and outs of television production. I got to learn the sitcom world as an actor first, then behind the scenes as I got to shadow some incredible directors, and learn from my coworkers and superiors alike. I’m now using that knowledge to direct; one of my biggest goals in the next couple years is to direct an episode of a sitcom for Nickelodeon, and share with the next generation of young actors the things I wish I knew when I started.

The star also opened up about her upcoming projects, music and much more. Check it:

On joining Light as a Feather: “[It] was a major departure from the projects I’ve worked on in the past, and diving into that world was really exciting and gratifying. After booking the role of Nadia I went to watch Season 1 for research, but after a few episodes I was genuinely hooked as a fan. Getting to work on Season 2 after getting so invested in the storyline was a very cool, unique experience for me.”

On fans’ reactions to her debut album: “The response has been amazing, and so much more than I could’ve hoped for! Especially with Vinyl… I wrote that song when I was 16 and could never have imagined that so many people would feel a connection to it all this time later.”

Super 78, Creator of Geppetto, Presents Special Panel on Interactivity at Nickelodeon Studios in California

Super 78, the global attractions design and production studio, and creators of the Thea ward-winning Geppetto presented a special panel at the Nickelodeon Studios in Burbank, California, to more than 200 Television Academy members!


Super 78 Design Studios was proud to be invited by the Television Academy to present at this special event. The President and Creative Director of the company behind the award-winning real-time animation and show control system, Geppetto, spoke about interactivity to an audience of over 200 Television Academy members.

On the evening of July 17th, Super 78 President and Creative Director Brent Young joined Co-Interactive Media Television Academy Governors Chris Thomes and Lori Schwartz in front of a live audience of members. During the panel, the group discussed interactive and viewer experiences.

Audience interaction

This was an interactive panel with a difference, thanks to a special guest appearance from SpongeBob’s BFF Patrick Star, brought to life in real-time by Geppetto. The much-loved animated character spoke to the audience during the panel, interacting and creating a fun evening with many laughs.

A spokesperson from Super 78 said that the event was “a great example of how Geppetto is being recognized around the world of entertainment as a technology to keep a very close eye on.” Super 78 is currently working on two new Geppetto shows, one will be at a venue in the states and the other will be located in China. Both are set to open later this year.


Geppetto is a real-time animation solution that is changing the face of animation production. The Super 78 product is behind a range of experiences around the globe, including the Shrek: Donkey Live! Attraction at Universal Studios Singapore and The Smurfs at Motiongate Dubai. It also powers the world-class SpongeBob SubPants Adventure attraction at Moody Gardens in Texas, in which Super 78 earned a Thea ward for.

Super 78 also recently joined Microsoft at the NAB show to showcase Geppetto, in a demonstration featuring an animated character interacting with the audience in real-time.
