Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Dora the Explorer is the Hispanic cartoon character for children. Dora made her premiere on Nickelodeon in 1999 and for 2000 the show had become a basic network element. In 2005, he became the first Hispanic character balloon to grace the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Dora is a girl cheerful, energetic and enthusiastic with a wide circle of friends and a close and loving family. Each episode finds her character embarking on a mission to make a good work, or to help a friend. The mission usually consists of Dora are three specific places where you must find things or complete certain tasks. Sometimes the requests Dora the public's help to locate lost or manage a situation. Needless to say, all of his adventures end in success.

At the end of each program, Dora and her supporters celebrate their victory and encourage people watching the show to think about their favorite part of the adventure of the day.

Dora is often accompanied her best friend Boots, a monkey. She is aided in her quest by her magic purple backpack and geography wise map ready singing. Other minor characters, often put in appearances also useful.

All the heroines, of course, must have an enemy to oppose them. Benign enemy is Swiper Dora, doing his best shot to objects of Dora must find to complete their mission. (hence its name). Swiper is portrayed as more annoying than evil and sometimes you can talk to return the stolen property or useful as an action to rescue a puppy.

The animation is bright melodies, and the plots are simple and catchy designed to delight children (and parents), while passing along important messages about appreciating different cultures, valuing friends and family, and be willing to work towards a goal.

Dora the Explorer has been considered an educational character. Children learn some basic words and phrases in Spanish. Dora comes with a problem in each episode. We solve the problem using base names, adjectives and commands that asks children to repeat after it. When children see it, are part of the agenda, as they are asked to be active. Parents often hear their children in front of the screen or saying words in Spanish after seeing the show. Children also learn basic math skills Dora and music, physical coordination and how to observe situations and solve problems. Dora is always ready to stop any activity to help someone in need.

Dora is very popular among children in the United States. She has also gained international fame. Dora the Explorer is broadcast in countries from China to Greece to Spain. There is even a Hebrew version.
