8 TV Shows That Are About To Become Movies

8. Dora The Explorer

Considering that the insanely popular TV show has been around for almost two decades at this point, it's surprising that it's taken this long for Dora The Explorer to get the big-screen treatment.

The 2019 movie will turn the animated show into a live-action blockbuster, with Muppets Most Wanted and Alice Through The Looking Glass director James Bobin at the helm, and the likes of Eva Longoria (Dora's mother), Benicio Del Toro (the villainous Swiper, a fox) and Michael Peña (Dora's father) making up the cast.

The film will also age-up the main character, with Dora - who is seven years old in the show - now a high-school student investigating a lost Inca civilization. Characters like her monkey friend Boots will also be involved, and with filming having wrapped in early December, it shouldn't be too long before we see some official footage.
