Musical theater is a fun and exciting experience for preschoolers--especially when the stars are familiar characters like Dora, Boots, Diego, and the rest of the Dora the Explorer gang. In this double-length episode, Dora and her friends, including a new baby jaguar, are about to perform a musical play about pirates for an audience of friends and relatives. When the Pirate Pigs steal the treasure chest with all the costumes inside, Dora sets out to cross the seven seas and pass under the Singing Bridge in order to get to Treasure Island and retrieve the costumes. Dora and her friends sing lots of catchy songs as they overcome obstacles like fog, rocks, and waterfalls and catch some singing stars--all with the help of young viewers. Especially memorable are the silly renditions of classic children's songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as sung by the confused Singing Bridge--a guaranteed chuckle for viewers of all ages. Skills emphasized include Spanish vocabulary, singing, and counting to seven. (Ages 2 to 5) --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

Dora es MAGNIFICO! :)
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.

One of The Best Dora DVD's...Graet Fun
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.

Dora at Her Best!
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.
