User blog:Nephelodeon/Preschool Shows Reimagined as Slightly Darker Movies

The title says it all. Basically, I take various preschool shows (Dora, Blue's Clues, etc.) and try rebooting them as Hollywood-worthy movies. This is just for fun, so I apologize in advance if I unintentionally ruined your childhood.

Dora the Explorer - Dora Marquez is an adventurous archaeologist who prefers to work alone. One day, an secret organization run by her cousin Diego hires her to track down an item called the Golden Star. In addition to a backpack with plenty of equipment (including a digital map), she is also aided by a trained fighter in the form of Boots the Monkey. But a former member of the organization--known for his talent of swiping--is also hot on the trail for the Golden Star.

Blue's Clues - Detective Steve Burns and his dog Blue are amazing at what they do for a living. They have been solving cases together for years. Steve tends to keep a cool head while Blue is much more prone to anger. Despite their differences, they've proven to be an unstoppable team. However, the duo risks splitting up when Steve gets framed for murdering a cop. With days remaining before his trial, Blue's loyalty is put to the ultimate test. She must help her owner clear his name before time runs out.

Lazy Town - Somewhere in the future, there is a city unlike any other. It has been given the rather unpleasant name of Lazy Town, as very few people there do any work at all. Their ruler Robbie Rotten has been running the place for years just like his father before him and believes that forcing the citizens into laziness will prevent them from revolting. But certain people refuse to stand for this. A small band of rebellious civilians has been trying to overthrow Rotten for quite some time, but they fail more often than not. Their adolescent leader Stephanie soon finds a ray of hope when an incredibly athletic superhero named Sportacus saves her team from danger, becoming a huge target for the ruthless dictator in the process. Now this lone warrior must help the rebels take back their home.

Sesame Street - After the death of their parents, Bert and Ernie decide to leave the suburbs for a better life. They move to a new neighbourhood hoping for the best in life. But what once began as a peaceful place has been taken over by a reckless biker gang called the Blazing Jesters. Led by the maniacal Elmo, their goal is simply to run the streets. Now the other neighbours are struggling to fight back. So when Ernie volunteers himself and an unwilling Bert to become part of the resistance, it's obvious they've walked into quite the minefield. There goes the neighbourhood!

Fraggle Rock - There is an ongoing feud between two completely different species: the Fraggles and the Gorgs. They have been at war for years. Gobo, an adolescent Fraggle, has been against war from the start. But when his Uncle 'Traveling' Matt gets murdered by the King of the Gorgs, something inside of him snaps. Now Gobo plans to avenge his uncle by taking out every last Gorg, including the next one in line for the throne. But his friends Mokey, Wembley, Boober and Red fear that his mind is headed for a very dark place.

Jake and the Never Land Pirates - A young boy named Jake became an orphan thanks to the notorious Captain Hook, who kidnapped him for the sole purpose of having a protégé. Many years have passed since then and now Jake is a young man who decides that he's had enough. Late one night, he steals a map so he can find the mythical treasure of the Lost Boys. He then escapes in a rowboat only to get shipwrecked on an abandoned island. He soon runs into another pirate crew consisting of Captain Izzy, her cabin boy Cubby and her parrot Skully. He tells them about his goal and persuades them into letting him join their crew in exchange for a fair share of the treasure. But Hook is still out there, and he is determined to end Jake's life of freedom before it even begins.

Sofia the First - The entire kingdom of Enchancia was in a devastating state ever since their queen died at sea, but no one took it harder than King Roland II. He would remain depressed for a while before falling for and eventually marrying a peasant woman named Miranda. As a result, Miranda's daughter Sofia would have to learn how to live with Roland's twin children Amber and James. But just as the people are recovering from one loss, they may have to deal with another one when the king suddenly falls ill. Fortunately, Sofia learns from her mother that the mystical amulet of Avalor could heal him. Now the adolescent royal siblings must travel through different lands to find the, which is in the hands of of a mysterious sorcerer.

If you have ideas for similar shows that should take a more grown-up turn, let me know in the comments. Just don't expect me to turn all of these into actual articles.
