Dora l'exploratrice

As I can see, so far every comment came from English speaking audience.

Well, we live in Hungary, and here the series were translated to Hungarian, with some English phrases in it (which were originally the Spanish ones, I guess). I have a 5 and a 2 year-old daughter, and they both enjoy watching Dora very much. I think this is a very good educational movie! The younger learns special Hungarian words, which she would not know otherwise (eg. volcano). She also enjoys the activity Dora asks us to do. And the older one picked up the English words very fast, and even asked me to teach her more English! Thanks to this cartoon now they tell us to fasten our safety belts when we drive, and the little one learned to count to ten at a very early age. We have most of the parts recorded on video, and they often ask for them. By the way, I couldn't find the information on this site: how many parts are there altogether? If somebody knows, please let me know.

All three of my kids and their friends aged 2 - 5, absolutely love Dora the Explorer. Dora is a five year old girl who sets out on a different adventure each episode with her friend Boots the monkey and her talking back pack. "Back Pack" has objects to assist on her journey, of which children can decide which would be the best item to use to get round different obstacles. Along the way she also encounters different characters to assist her. Some of these characters only speak Spanish so is a great way of introducing the language to infants. Educationally it is very stimulating, teaching pre-schoolers the basics in counting, colors, shapes and sizes with the introduction of Spanish. It also brings to children the understanding of different cultures. Highly recommended.

Dora is one of the few, if any female stars of an animated show. The problem solving, bilingualism and non-violent approach is a breath of fresh air in the blast-em-up world of children's animated shows. How could anyone argue with that?

This is an excellent show for children to see. It's not an adult show, but it get's the children to learn how to count and to even understand Spanish. It is kind of stupid when it talks to swiper and boots, but it's definately a childrens show. My son loves to watch Dora, he repeats what she says, and he can count to 10 now on his own!I highly recommend this show for children to see! You have to see it to understand, but it's not a show for an adult, it's a show for kids!

I kind of think it's funny how many adults there are telling people not to watch this show, hello? It's a kid's show. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and they both love this show, it drives me crazy but I let them watch it because they have learned so many words, colors, shapes, etc. And like it or not they will probably need Spanish as they grow up because America is changing. When my oldest son was just over a year old I found him counting his toys, he could go up to 11 by himself thanks to Dora, now that he's 3 he counts to 20, he know's all his colors and shapes and it's all thanks to Dora. And yea it's not realistic, do you really think any of the show's we watched as kid's were realistic. If I wanted my 1 and 3 year old's to know what would really happen when someone wanted to mug you I would have them watch csi. It's our job as parents to teach them the reality's of this world when there old enough to understand them, so idk about you but I'm going to let my toddlers enjoy telling swiper no swiping without blood and violence. Thanks.

P.S. I only gave it an 8 because it does drive me crazy, but I think it's worth it sense my kid's get to enjoy learning.
