'Dora's Ballet Adventures'
(DVD / NR / 2011 / Nickelodeon)

Overview: Join Dora as she gets ready for her big dance show in this compilation DVD which features four of her dancing episodes.

DVD Verdict: As you all should know by now, Dora the Explorer (created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner) is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora (Caitlin Sanchez).

Dora is a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. She explores her world just as preschoolers do everyday, and the show is designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a variety of learning techniques.

This latest collection of Dora exploits, 'Dora's Ballet Adventures' is yet another set of four that invite the audience to participate in an exciting adventure along with Dora and Boots (Regan Mizrahi). You see, again, if you don't know, each episode is a journey for these two characters because each episode consists of a problem (or puzzle) that Dora, Boots and the audience must think their way through in order to solve the next problem.

Dora’s Ballet Adventure - Dora’s dance class is getting ready for a special dance recital and her whole family’s there to watch her perform. They just need to wait for the Delivery Duck to deliver their ballet slippers. But the Delivery Duck brings scuba flippers instead of ballet slippers! Dora and Boots must get the slippers before the recital begins.

Dora, La Músico - C’mon and join the musical parade! Dora and Boots are leading a parranda over the Piano Bridge and through the Singing Gate to free the instruments that were locked up by the evil Señor Shhh!

The Super Silly Fiesta - Dora and Boots are invited to the Big Red Chicken’s Super Silly Fiesta where there will be silly snacks, silly games, silly hats and even silly dancing. But, the Big Red Chicken lost his party cake! Dora and Boots set off to save the fiesta. After searching forever, they find the cake in the silliest place Big Red Chicken could have left it – on his head!

Surprise - It’s Boots’ birthday! Dora tells him that all of his friends are waiting at her house to give Boots a big party. To reach Dora’s house, they’ll have to climb a long flight of Stairs and cross the Troll Bridge.

In closing, I have to say that, as usual, Dora's adventures are as fun as ever. She, and Boots are as cute as ever and the way she works her way through each episode is as fun today as when the character first debuted. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
