Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado currently beats The Ritual 56–44
Family adventure outpaces horror in a 2025 matchup — the warmer film wins.
The Verdict Class of 2025
Dora beating The Ritual at 56 to 44 is the family film overcoming bracket voting's natural bias toward genre intensity. Belli's adventure doesn't generate the kind of visceral reaction that translates easily to "I need to vote for this" — it generates something quieter, closer to affection, and affection apparently travels further than expected in this format. Midell's horror is doing what horror does in brackets: generating strong opinions from a committed base. The problem is that Dora's base, while less intense, is broader. At 45 votes, breadth is beating depth. Early signal, and the kind that could narrow as horror fans discover the matchup.
