... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

... View MoreWhen I was younger and in the target audience of this garbage, I enjoyed watching a few episodes before quickly getting bored and annoyed. I don't understand the "its just for kids" mentality when people make shows for young children. It might just be me, but even as a 3-year-old, I was annoyed at how the obnoxious pauses where I was supposed to talk to a fictional characters dragged down the already shallow story. Based on the other reviews, I can see I'm not the only one who finds this shallow nonsense stupid. If you're a parent looking for a show to sit your kid in front of, there are better ones than this. Its not educational or interesting. Its dull and repetitive and treats children like idiots. Also the animation is pretty lazy. Even as a child I wondered why all the roads and logs and trees looked almost identical.

Actually, we were up, dancing and singing and interacting with Dora a lot of the time.The choice of language, the amount of repetition and pauses for interaction are all excellent for learning English as a foreign language, for this age-group. It helps for the adult to watch it and interact together to help pull your toddler into Dora's world. The format helps toddlers produce language. A nice little 20-minute language work-out with your toddler! And we had a hoot. Looking forward to more episodes. We'll watch together first and then I'll leave her alone with them. Highly recommended.
... View MoreGet ready for a kiddie cartoon that's so horrendous, so annoying, and so awkwardly bad that it would make The Magic Voyage less noisy. I am indeed talking about Dora the Explorer, a TV show that is still on Nickelodeon's made for kids block, "Nick Jr.".The TV Series features Dora, a Hispanic girl who goes on adventures with her monkey friend, Boots, and other characters such as Benny the Bull and sometimes Diego. How can I describe how bad this TV Series is? HORRENDOUSLY BAD!!! Dora is an idiot who constantly asks the audience where this thing is or that thing is and... COME ON, YOU BRAT!! You're the one with the freaking map, why ask me?!! In the middle of each episode, there's a fox named Swiper who gets a chance of stealing Dora's stuff. In order to stop Swiper, Dora and Boots say "Swiper, no swiping" three times and then he goes away.... Oh sure, like saying "Swiper, no swiping" would make a serial killer or a pedophile go away. HE OR SHE WILL KILL YOU INSTEAD OF GOING AWAY!!!! As an excuse of trying to be educational(I'm using that word loosely), it throws a few Spanish words in it. If I want to learn Spanish, I'll take a Spanish class at school(Which, mind you, I already did). During the episodes, they sing about everything they do. What is this, Dora the Explorer the Musical?!! This isn't the Music Man! This isn't Singin' in the Rain!! This is Dora the Freaking Explorer!!! At the end of each episode, Dora and Boots ask the audience what their favorite part of the episode is. Do you want to know what my favorite part is? Well, my favorite part is when a group of cannibals grab Dora by the legs, gang-rape her, and kill her while they circumcise Boots and eat him alive. I know it sounds disturbing and I know it didn't happen in the show, but that is my point on how annoying and stupid Dora the Explorer is!!! How the numb-nuts at Nickelodeon still kept this animated nightmare running, I don't know. All the characters are nincompoops, this show never shuts up, telling burglars to go away by saying "Swiper, no swiping!" will not work in real life, and this show will treat your kids like snotty-nosed idiots! Bottom Line: If you ever see Dora the Explorer, change the channel and don't buy the DVDs!!! This TV show is muy estupido(That's Spanish for very stupid)!
