Summary: Dora delivers!
Review: Dora is a great character, and this disk proves many of the reasons why. She's an independent gal who doesn't depend on boys for action and adventure (her cousin Diego is a sidekick rather than the star), but she still plays well with and loves the boys in her life. She speaks both Spanish and English, and is enthusiastic about learning. Her cartoons encourage interaction and movement--and include many basic skills for preschoolers, like language, counting, computer literacy and memorization.

If your kid is glued to the TV anyway, wouldn't you prefer she be learning, exercising and building self-esteem while she watches?

This Nick Jr. DVD is worth the money, though I should warn you that if you buy this DVD, you'll end up buying the Dora backpack, sofa (yes, sofa) and various other Dora products as well. The marketing behind the Dora enterprise is quite savvy. But you'll be so delighted when you hear your 3-year-old counting in Spanish that you might not mind dropping another $10 on the Dora dinnerware set.

Summary: Dora at Her Best!
Review: During the past year, I have sat through many Dora episodes with my 2-year old daughter. This is by far the best I've seen. This double-length episode features Dora and her friends on a trip across the ocean to recapture a treasure chest filled with pirate costumes. The greater length allows for a more humorous, engaging story, as well as for some infectious songs! My daughter has asked to see it over and over again.

Summary: a great movie
Review: i have 2 cousins and 2 brothers who love the dora series. all the dora movies are movies kids enjoy. my cousins and brothers have some of them memorized and love to talk along with dora and boots. most importantly this show teaches kids how to count in english and spanish. it also teaches them shapes and colors and all sorts of other things that u want little kids to learn. this movie is also good because u can watch it with them and not be bored to tears like u do on some other baby movies.

Summary: One of The Best Dora DVD's...Graet Fun
Review: My 2 year old is Dora obsessed. She has the couch, dinnerware set, books, blocks, doll, dvd's, swimsuit and slippers and sheet set. We own all her DVD's with the exception of 1, and this is my daughter's fave. The first feature is 40 minutes and it takes Dora and ALL her friends on an adventure to get their treasure chest. Dora for anyone who isn't familiar basically has the same layout for every episode but in this the songs are a little different. Swiper even sings his Oh Man! There are two other episodes which are about 20 minutes each. All of the episodes incorporate Spanish as we follow Dora and Boots on their adventures. My fave are the special features on this disc. There are flash cards and previews and even a snippet with Oobi but the best is the Sing Alongs. This dvd always gets my daughter singing and dancing. I do sometimes feel as though I'm surronded by Dora but it's worth the monotony for me a slong as my daughter enjoys it. This is a dvd tthat will be sure to please any Dora fan or toddler.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Dora DVD So Far!
Review: My 2-year-old daughter LOVES this Dora DVD. It's in musical form, so if your child loves music -- BUY IT! My daughter is speaking Spanish all the time now, and she recognizes it when she hears it out in public. Dora is worth the money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dora es MAGNIFICO! :)
Review: My 3 yr old is a Dora FANATIC. My ongoing joke is if they would come out w/ Dora toilet paper, my home would officially be completely Dora. :) But of all the videos she has (and I beleive she has them all) this one is great. I have to admit, that as an adult, this was a little annoying at first. (Hearing the little friends and Dora singing "Empuje! Empuje!" really loud over & over was nearly enough to send this stressed out mom over the edge....) However, I have grown to love it. First, she has picked up SO MUCH Spanish from this video, much more than she has from her other videos or Dora books. I'm amazed. Also, she seems to be growing to appreciate the musical format, which is great, since I hope to begin taking her to some Broadway productions soon. Yes, Dora marketing is very Savy... our Dora LIVE tickets are purchased and I think we have anything that you can buy... but it is well worth it. My daughter has learned so much from this character, and I'm not only talking about Spanish. I just love Dora.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Educational and fun
Review: My 3 yr old son loves this DVD. He was already familiar with Dora before he saw this one, and he cannot stop watching it! He just loves it! He memorized certain parts of it after the 2nd viewing.

Something unusual that I noticed, he is a little scared by the pirate parrot who sports a peg leg and eye patch. Other than that, he really enjoys watching this over and over.

He also likes the additional Dora episodes which run after the feature presentation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Big Fan of Dora
Review: My 3+ years old daughter is a big fan of Dora.
(Just bought the DVD from Amazon). She loves
it very much and she even thinks she is Dora.
Her hair looks like Dora and she begins to talk
like Dora. She does what Dora does. She even
has a backpack like Dora! I sometimes even
call her Dora by mistake!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Cute
Review: My children love this DVD. After watching it they sing parts of the songs for days. They learned what fog is on this episode. That's what I love about Dora and other educational/fun shows. They use good cause and effect and expose children to new things. I also like that they aren't violent or crude like some shows that say they are for children.
