Could have been much much worse.
Dora the Explorer is great. I’d prefer they didn’t mess with it?
I predict my son will like the “new” Dora better.
Dora was designed to make Illegals more acceptable to Americans.
Could have been much much worse.
Dora is idiotic. I hate the fact that it draws my daughter’s attention. I try to avoid having her it.
Here’s a pseudo-script:
(NOTE: Dora is on the verge of yelling EVERY line.)
Dora: We need to go to Grandma’s house to get some cookies. Let’s ask Map how to get there. Everyone say “Map.” Louder! “MAP!” LOUDER! “MAAAAAAAP!”
(inane map song)
Dora: Look, to get to Grandma’s house, Map says we need to go around the muddy-mud, over the hilly-hills, and past the rocky-rocks. Yes, I’m so incredibly creative that EVERYTHING is described with the adjective form of itself.
(Some stupid monkey shows up and sings a stupid song.)
Dora: Look - it’s the muddy-mud! How will we get past it? [Short pause.] I know, let’s - *gasp* - WALK AROUND IT! [Wow - Dora’s problem solving skills are off the chart!] Can you HELP me walk around the muddy-mud? Say “camina!” [Because you can only do something as simple as walking if you first say the word in Spanish.] Louder! CAMINA! LOUDER GRINGO! CAAAAAAMIIIIIINAAAAA!
And so forth. Sigh...
Dora is an illigal alien, an undocumented!
I suppose that along with ‘cougar’ Barbie we’ll soon have the same with Dora.

>> This new Dora appeared to have long flowing hair, and was wearing what seemed a scanty skirt, emphasizing her long, shapely legs.
Good grief. That’s “sexed up”, streetwalker, etc? Its a shirt, not a skirt. My 4-year-old daughter has several, and they’re not at all revealing. And, as fathers go, I’m pretty hard on my little girl regarding her wardrobe.

Nik and Disney are the devil to young kids....
And their poor parents.
LOL! I remember pi$$ing off my ex when I’d sing MY version of her theme song.
I won’t post my lyrics, but you’d get the idea...
I hadn’t seen two G’Daughters for a year — when they were 6ish, 7ish. (they live across the country) When they came for Christmas a year back, I had bought a couple pair of Dora slipper sox as one of their gifts. These girls were now close to ages 8 and 9 -— and you should have heard the squeals when they opened the slippers! I was still living in the past, when girls were little girls until their tweens! Little did I know that they were into Hanna and her ilk!! “We’re not little kids any more, G.Ma!!!”
Well, that was all I needed. I fixed the slipper mistake, but when they went home, I packed a couple of Dora cookies in their suitcase. More squeals when they found them! And when I sent Valentine cards, I pasted Dora pictures over Hannah’s face! These kids are going to hate me!
When I saw them a few weeks ago, I hid a couple of cute trinket gifts behind my back and they could only get them if they said they LOVED Dora. They said it and got the gifts. Then the devil in me went further. I had a couple more trinkets but they had to promise me that they would wear Dora costumes that I would sent them for Halloween — and I had to see pictures of them in them. They swallowed hard and promised. When they went home, there were a couple more hidden Dora cookies in their bag. (am I a terrible granny? Yep!)
But now, they can see that G’ma is on top of it, with this new Dora coming out! New respect?
What can I do now?
That's "sexed-up"?
Complaints must have been from some Muslim moms who want an older Dora to be seen only in a full Hijab.
I didn't know stretch pants qualified as "sexed-up". What does that make shorts?
Oh great, on top of everything else, they made her into a LIBERAL. Like the entertainment industry, toymakers just don't seem to care about what more than 50% of their customers think.
People, get a grip - it's not like she' s in a tube top and daisy-dukes, with a tramp stamp coiled around her bicep.
Looks like a maternity outfit. Is there something they aren’t telling us?
Has Dora been ‘Exploring’ without us?
