did you ever realize dora is a 3 year old girl roaming aroung town with a monkey. when there is a bad fox on the lose??
omg
You had me at hello.....
Dora is supposed to be seven and the idea that she could roam all over the city with a monkey without being hurt, is no more realisticet than the fact that the "monkey talks". But it's just a fantasy kids show, let it be.

You guys are reading too much into a kids show. It is not made for us adults to over analize. This show is very educational. My daughter is 2 an d because she watchs the show is already knows how to count to 15, she knows her shapes, colors, animals and I am very proud of her knowledge. I do believe that she has learned this from watching the show but maybe it is because I watch it with her and instead of being over critical we make a game out of it.
shareDisagree entirely.
If anything, we aren't reading into these kid shows hard enough. We need to rip this show apart and over-analyze the crap out of every single god damn thing in it. Only then, can we see the hidden damage that it is causing our children.
Uh, how is Dora the Explorer damaging to kids? IT isn't any more damaging than a lot of things on TV I can think of.
shareWhen I was a kid. I watched a Bunny being mischievous, wearing a dress as much as he could and kissing a man who's been trying to shoot him in the ass. A Rooster that made no damn sense. A Manlike cat that wore a brief shouting THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER CATS hoooooooo!. I think it's safe in my honest opinion. Now, Yo Gabba Gabba is trippy in a "smoke a doobie" kinda way. That couldn't hold my child's attention because he's 2 and doesn't know what weed is.
shareDora's not even real. Not even in her own world. Note the fact that some Godlikte entity clicks her world with a mouse. So, not only is she fake to us, she's fake even within her own show. If she ever realized that, that would screw her up. ;)
shareuhh first of all shes not 3.
does she look 3 to you?
i think not.
more like 7 or 8.
hah.
I read somewhere awhile back that the original concept of the show was that Dora the Explorer was a video game. That is why the mouse clicks on the screen. Also, the opening of the show has changed now to incorporate the "estrellas" but originally it showed Dora, Boots, and the other characters on a computer screen that was in a kid's bedroom. In regards to her age, I seem to recall that she is supposed to be 7 yrs. old. The show is for preschoolers but she is not actually a preschooler herself. I am not positive about that, though.
