There's a palpable gap you can't help but notice between the essentially innocent, borderline-pubescent nature of the leading characters and the film itself, and the more confident and mature vibes emanating from the leading actors.
When I saw the trailer for this, it just seemed weird, and that quote from the review kind of hit it. Why is Dora suddenly a well-developed adolescent instead of a kid? I can't imagine there's a big teen audience for the original cartoon, and how likely is it that the original show's target audience (pre-pubescent children) are going to identify with a more grown-up Dora? The whole thing seems like a gigantic misfire that's likely to miss with all age groups.

Hasn't the cartoon been on for almost 20 years now?

Doesn't change the fact it's still aimed at small kids. I don't imagine any of those kids who were watching it when it originally aired are still fans or would have much interest in the notion of a grown-up Dora. And if it's been 20 years ago, then why is Dora only a teen, and not a twenty-something?

Because movie adaptations don't have to follow continuity of the TV shows they're based off of. Hence how Uncle Fester went from being Morticia's uncle on TV to Gomez's brother in the movies.

That doesn't alter the fact that this film looks like a bomb.

It feels like one big inside joke.
