Dora the Explorer

Main article: Dora the Explorer (TV series)

Dora the Explorer revolved around a young girl named Dora, who is of Latin American origin, and her best friend, Boots the Monkey. Each episode typically began with a problem or goal, prompting the characters to go on a mission to achieve it. The show also served as a Spanish-language teaching tool, helping children learn basic Spanish.

Dora and the Fantastical Creatures

Main article: Dora and the Fantastical Creatures

Dora and the Fantastical Creatures is a 2023 American animated short film directed by William Mata, with a screenplay by Alejandro Bien-Willner and a story by Bien-Willner and Sean Gill.

Stage adaptations

Two stage versions of the series toured North America, the first being "City of Lost Toys", and the second being "Dora's Pirate Adventure". Produced by Nickelodeon and LiveNation, these productions featured live actors portraying the roles of Dora and her friends, including Boots, Diego, Isa, and the Fiesta Trio. Many of the characters wore elaborate foam costumes designed to resemble the Dora characters. Each production featured a structure similar to an episode of the television series. City of Lost Toys featured Christina Bianco as Dora, while Dora's Pirate Adventure featured Danay Ferrer of the band Innosense in the role of Dora and Frankie Grande as Boots. Both productions featured a version of the popular Gloria Estefan song "Get On Your Feet" as the final number of the show. Both productions were conceived by Chris Gifford, creator of the television show, and directed by Gip Hoppe.

There have been three Dora touring companies. The "City of Lost Toys" company and the "Pirate Adventure" company featured actors and crew who were members of Actor's Equity and IATSE, the respective unions for professional actors and stagehands in the United States. The third company performs a shortened version of "Pirate Adventure" and does not employ union personnel. This production is currently touring North America and scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom and France.

Merchandise

Many action figures and playsets are available in many markets, along with cosmetics, hygiene products, ride-ons, books, board games, plush dolls, apparel, handbags, play tents, play kitchens, and more. Licensees include Mattel-owned Fisher-Price in the United States and Holland Publishing in the United Kingdom.

Toys

In 2004, Lego released four sets based on the characters of the TV series. These include 7330 Dora's Treasure Island, 7331 Diego's Rescue Truck, 7332 Dora and Boots at Play Park, and 7333 Dora and Diego's Animal Adventure.

In 2007, lead paint used by a contract toy manufacturer in China prompted Mattel to issue recalls for nearly a million toys, many of which featured Sesame Street and Nickelodeon characters - including Dora the Explorer. In response, Nickelodeon stated that they would introduce "third-party monitoring" of all manufacturers of products under its brands.[5][6][7]

Video games based on the show were released. In Canada, Cheerios offered free Dora the Explorer the Game CD-ROMs in specially marked packages; however, packages sold in Quebec had only the French version. Dora the Explorer: Barnyard Buddies is the first video game based on the show for the home consoles as it was released for the PlayStation in the U.S. in 2003. It was not released in Europe until 2005, when it became one of the last games released for that platform in the region. This coincided with the decline in PlayStation production and the end of development for other PS1 games the following year.
