Children Love Dora The Explorer, But Why?

By Frank Lops

Dora the Explorer is a cartoon that is very popular with both young and old. There are not that many people who have not heard of Dora, especially if they live in the US. Dora is a fun loving, go lucky little girl who likes to go on adventures with her friends. But what makes this cartoon so special that everyone wants to watch it?

The first thing you will notice while you are watching the show is that the animation is very well done and the colors that are used are very bright but still easy on the eyes.

Dora is a young girl who along with her best friend Boots goes on many adventures. Children always long to go on adventures themselves, whether it be outside of the house or to a different neighborhood altogether.

Each one of us uses our imagination to paint a perfect picture or reenact a cool scene. If you do not use your imagination you surely have such dreams that use your imagination. Dora is like this also, but she makes her imaginations come true.

Another thing that Dora is known for is her willingness to help her friends around her. Children who are watching this will learn that helping each other is a good way to progress in life and become more happier.

What viewers also love about Dora the Explorer is that there is an interaction with Dora through songs and actions. You have to help her make the right decisions throughout the cartoon; make the right decision and she does what you told her. During these parts of the show children get so engaged that they will talk and scream at the television while jumping up and down.

Swiper, the evil villain of the show, is a thief who always tries to swipe things that are not his. While he is in the act, you can help Dora by shouting "Swiper, no swiping" three times and he will retreat in defeat.

By doing this they are able to stop that terrible Swiper from stealing items that do not belong to him, this is an important part of the show. After doing this you have just saved the day and Dora and Boots can go ahead with their adventure. This climatic point happens in every episode and kids are always looking for that moment.

The music that Dora, Boots and her friends sing is always uplifting and interactive. You have to go along with her and help sing. At the end of the adventure you get to sing the same song that is in all the episodes called "We did it". Children get excited because they know the words and can twist and dance with Dora and her friends.

Dora the Explorer is a fun experience because you the viewer are part of the adventure. Going on a magical adventure is always so much fun. - 31981
