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

Entertaining!
My daughter loves Dora the Explorer. She will sit still and watch the video. She ask to see it almost daily.

The Best Dora
We own several Dora dvds, and this is by far the best, mainly for the feature episode, Dora's Pirate Adventure. Even though this runs at about 45 minutes, the story is easy to follow for pre-schoolers. The pirate costumes are cute, the pirate piggies are not scary, and the songs are catchy. It's even a little snarky, as Swiper the Fox hammily sings his tagline, "Oh Man!" My 4-year old son loves that part.

A lot of Fun!
My 1 1/2 year old daughter loves the singing and music. I like the Spanish/English vocabulary concept. I also like that the DVD talks to her and asks her questions. She isn't old enough to answer yet, but when she is, I think she will think it's a lot of fun!
