'Dora the Explorer' star Isabela Moner shares a look at her perfect movie costume
Whatever your opinion may be of a live-action Dora the Explorer movie, there's no denying that star Isabela Moner has the look down.
On Friday, Moner posted a photo of herself in costume on her personal Instagram page. The caption accompanying the photo is as straightforward as such things get: "So excited to show you the First Look of me as #DoraTheExplorer."

The animated TV series keeps up with Dora's adventures as a 7-year-old adventure-seeker armed with a purple backpack and a talking monkey named Boots. Dora's Hispanic identity is an important part of the show, with much of its educational output revolving around the Spanish language.
The upcoming movie -- which has reportedly been in development at Paramount in some form since 2015 -- picks up later in Dora's life. Moner's teenage version of the character lives in the city with her adventuring pal, Diego.
Nicholas Stoller is writing the script for the big screen take and James Bobin is directing. It's yet another collaboration for Stoller and Bobin, who also worked together on The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted.
UPDATED Aug. 13, 2018, 4:23 p.m. ET An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Michael Bay is a producer on this movie. Per Paramount, the film is a "Paramount Players and Nickelodeon production in association with Walden Media."
