Why so much hype?

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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)...

soooo....the songs and premise are plain awful and it really feels like the writers mailed this one in. I'm still trying to figure out how the city comes into play, because the majority of the time they're in some fictitious land doing the same things that football shaped head Dora does. Whats the difference? The lessons are the same but each show feels like it was written 15 minutes before the deadline...One song, for example "...was a pirate, a very good pirate, and by the I mean a pirate who was good..." Fairly certain that a good pirate is a complete oxymoron as the definition of piracy is robbing and illegal violence at sea. (dictionary.com). While I'm pleased to see older Dora's head is shaped less like Stewie and she appears to have made friends with actual humans, I think this is a cheap version of the original Dora the Explorer series.

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.

Oh no no no no...Here we go, Another Worst Nick Jr Show Aired on TV And This is Entirely Worse Than Nick Aired Dora the Explorer And You Know Why? I Just Can not Understand Why Nick Put Dora Back On Air. And I will tell you why I Think why this is Stupid.Animation: The Animation Is Just Horrible. It is just like they brought back "Dora" From the dead. And its Not Like Dora anymore. And you know what's Worst about the show? They brought the map back!!! And its not just the map, The Worst Map App. The Map app just teaches children where things are And this is God Awful.Music: Oh my god, I can not Stand the music!! The music is Just Worse Than Dora the explorer. Like Now, They do Songs like "Sniff Sniff, Run puppy run", And other Stupid Songs That I never hear. I just Entirely Hate the Music Like Whos Idea was to make the Worst Music Ever Heard, Was It Nick Or Dora? My Final words are: I hate this show, I hate Dora and friends. And I wish nick cancelled this.NOTE: Look on my other worst and great TV show reviews on my profile name! :D
