Dora and Friends: Into the City!

When the news came out saying that they were gonna bring Dora back, but that they were gonna re make her, making her older. I had mix feelings about it, specially after I saw the picture of the new older Dora. But I wanted to think that it was all for the better, and that kids that grew up watching Dora get to have an older Dora. After watching the show with my 2 year old little girl, who prefers to see this new Dora, I can say that all in all is an OK show. Is simple and to the point, lots of singing, which is what must kids are in to now days. I also love the diversity of Dora's friends. They all look so different and have different hobbies. I can't wait to see what more

This show is a lot better than the first review states, yes when I first saw this I was disgusted that they were bringing Dora back but if you watch it you can see it is a very good show for children to learn basic life lessons as well as another language and I would recommend it to anyone from say... 2-7. This version of the show is a lot better than Dora the Explorer in the sense that it is a lot more educational and informative, It will teach basic maths - or "math" - in both English and Spanish. It also teaches life lessons like sharing and not stealing as well as the magic of friendship and how important your friends can be at times when you need them.

Well...at least Dora only yells at us half of the time instead of constantly like when she was younger. That's pretty much where the compliments end from me.

Talk about toothless. You add 7 years to Dora and nothing changes. You still have have silly premises. You still have 3 obstacles. And you still have that 4th wall-breaking moment where the characters address the audience and ask for help. You'd think Dora would take up loftier goals now that she's grown up a bit.

If you can't tell by now, I hate this show with a passion. I hate any show that dumbs down adults so much so that the heroes can actually have some actual relevance. But this is Dora. If you actually need Dora's help, your a creature of myth. This is why the Dora the Explorer worked (kinda...). It's a king-among-retards scenario. We're shaving some serious numbers off of ones IQ. The adults are petty, short sighted, barely functional and need Dora and her friends to tell them that banning dancing, all music that isn't Opera, or fun in general is just not right. And all through the magic of song! So while every other adult is sitting on their hands sulking, blowing spit bubbles, and feeling sorry for themselves, Dora is actually doing something about things...in the most ridiculous ways a teenager(?) can.

This show illustrates and has excellent, wonderful values and morals. The plots are unique and it contains catchy songs. Great incorporation of Spanish and very well animated, likable characters. Really appreciate how Dora and her friends help out those who may be less fortunate. The characters prioritize helping others rather than silly, superficial objectives. All friends work really well as a team helping those that may be less fortunate and respecting their elders (e.g., their grandparents). The show also contains funny, intelligent references to modern culture (e.g., stopping la Diva as she does not allow anyone else to make music). The characters are diverse and again work really well together despite obstacles or preferences which may surface. The animation is top-notch and very colorful. This is our daughter and our favorite show for our 11 month old daughter. (We also love Team Umizoomi for similar reasons)...

I honestly didn't really like the old dora, when I was 6 ,My Mom would say " come, Watch dora " and I would go play instead. Why?, Cuz I was sick and tired of seeing the same faces and problems being solved in the same way EVERYDAY!

It teaches intelligent stuff but it just ,Makes it even more boring. But now I'm 10 and I saw my class mate watching the new dora and I was like "IS THAT DORA?!

Man she looks so different and prettier". I FELL, IN LOVE WITH THE SONG ALL FOR ONE.

ITS so better than the old one if back pack and !ap weren't there, I mean isn't necessary for them to be in it.

But whatever the show is much more better.
