Dora the Explorer movie 2019 was like an amateur version of Indiana Jones style adventure movie in my opinion lol.
I have watched the movie once and never want to watch again after I felt embarrassed from watching some scenes over there.
Also, there was some unnecessary nudity from the cartoon scene when they got hallucinated by Titan Arum flower's pollen. Imagine to see some nudity from Dora cartoon.
I watched the black phone yesterday. It was a decent film that had me at the edge of my seat. Made by the same person who also did sinister if you liked that.
That's all, there's not much noteworthy to say about the film other than it's good. It's a bit basic, but still, a good movie, and a million times better than Lightyear.
@Mioaionios I think Arriety’s a little too short for sure. On one hand it’s easily one of the shorter Studio Ghibli films, at an hour and a bit compared to Miyazaki’s two hour monsters. But on the other hand it’s not like there was all that much more to do anyway. Maybe they could have added more conversation between Sho and Arrietty but ah well…
Currently playing:

@TheJGG It's true that Arriety just ended and was too short in my opinion, but not true there was nothing more to do as it's based on the Borrowers, which is 5 books long.
But to be fair Howls Moving Castle didn't really follow the books either (not at all to be honest) and I enjoyed both books and the films
TIL that Raya and the Last Dragon is apparently an Avatar: The Last Dragon Airbender ripoff:
The only thing I knew about the movie was that it's the only Disney film ever made with a South-East Asian setting, which is cool and all, considering that my country Singapore's part of SEA, but the whole "all South-East Asian culture is automatically kampong sticks and straw hats" stereotype bugged me and I didn't bother to watch it because it felt alien and unrelatable. Newsflash: our culture has evolved past the kampong days. It's like saying America is all about steampunk.
@Rambler
Perhaps, but it's more than that, apparently. The whole universe seems similar, and not just one or two people noticed the similarities, but entire Reddit subreddits:
Even the Raya and the Last Dragon subreddit made the connection instead of defending the film. lmao The irony.
You gotta love how Disney threw together a bunch of South-East Asian cultures in a hodgepodge and called it a day. Looks like they've learned nothing since their Pocahontas days. I guess since South-East Asia is so far away from America, it isn't as worth getting right like with Mexican and Italian cultures in Coco and Luca.
@Maxenmus I'm not shocked. Disney has been stealing more and more lately because (not mainly because) of lazy writing and checking things over properly.
I mean Turning Red and Ms. Marvel are shockingly similar to the point of copying each other.
@Kermit1
Honestly, I'm less upset about the supposed ripoff (which as Rambler said, might not be a ripoff) at this point and more about the cultural appropriation and insensitivity.
@Kermit1
I didn't even bother to watch either of those films since their trailers made it look like it's for kids. From what I heard, Turning Red caters to fujoshi kids.
@Maxenmus Ms Marvel is rated TV-14. It's not for kids. Don't get me started on the ratings system. Turning Red is very mature for a PG film it's almost PG-13 but it doesn't have any cursing or lots of blood.
