The appearance of Swiper has been met with mostly positive reviews, Twitter users saying that he looks better than Sonic from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which due to a largely critical response from fans, have made the producers redesign the character for the movie.
In the popular Dora TV series, Swiper appeared in nearly every episode to steal Dora's hard-won artifacts. The pint-sized adventurer then uttered one of the show's signature catchphrases, uttered three times, "Swiper, no swiping." Whenever Swiper is been caught in the act, he utters his iconic catchphrase, "Oh, man!". Swiper is voiced by Marc Weiner (Weinerville, Figure It Out) in the series, who will also star in the movie as the voice of Map!
Dora and the Lost City of Gold is released in movie theatres across the U.S.A. on Friday, August 9, 2019, followed by a worldwide roll-out soon after.
