Dora and Friends: Into the City! (2001–2017) User Reviews

This Show has been Mailed in

soooo....the songs and premise are plain awful and it really feels like the writers mailed this one in. I'm still trying to figure out how the city comes into play, because the majority of the time they're in some fictitious land doing the same things that football shaped head Dora does. Whats the difference? The lessons are the same but each show feels like it was written 15 minutes before the deadline...One song, for example "...was a pirate, a very good pirate, and by the I mean a pirate who was good..." Fairly certain that a good pirate is a complete oxymoron as the definition of piracy is robbing and illegal violence at sea. (dictionary.com).

While I'm pleased to see older Dora's head is shaped less like Stewie and she appears to have made friends with actual humans, I think this is a cheap version of the original Dora the Explorer series.

This is Just Plain Bad...

Oh no no no no...

Here we go, Another Worst Nick Jr Show Aired on TV And This is Entirely Worse Than Nick Aired Dora the Explorer And You Know Why? I Just Can not Understand Why Nick Put Dora Back On Air. And I will tell you why I Think why this is Stupid.

Animation: The Animation Is Just Horrible. It is just like they brought back "Dora" From the dead. And its Not Like Dora anymore. And you know what's Worst about the show? They brought the map back!!! And its not just the map, The Worst Map App. The Map app just teaches children where things are And this is God Awful.

Music: Oh my god, I can not Stand the music!! The music is Just Worse Than Dora the explorer. Like Now, They do Songs like "Sniff Sniff, Run puppy run", And other Stupid Songs That I never hear. I just Entirely Hate the Music Like Whos Idea was to make the Worst Music Ever Heard, Was It Nick Or Dora?

My Final words are: I hate this show, I hate Dora and friends. And I wish nick cancelled this.

NOTE: Look on my other worst and great TV show reviews on my profile name! :D

A show about how all adults are stupid and need children

[practicallypeach · 1/10 · 9 December 2014]

Well...at least Dora only yells at us half of the time instead of constantly like when she was younger. That's pretty much where the compliments end from me.

Talk about toothless. You add 7 years to Dora and nothing changes. You still have have silly premises. You still have 3 obstacles. And you still have that 4th wall-breaking moment where the characters address the audience and ask for help. You'd think Dora would take up loftier goals now that she's grown up a bit.

If you can't tell by now, I hate this show with a passion. I hate any show that dumbs down adults so much so that the heroes can actually have some actual relevance. But this is Dora. If you actually need Dora's help, your a creature of myth. This is why the Dora the Explorer worked (kinda...). It's a king-among-retards scenario. We're shaving some serious numbers off of ones IQ. The adults are petty, short sighted, barely functional and need Dora and her friends to tell them that banning dancing, all music that isn't Opera, or fun in general is just not right. And all through the magic of song! So while every other adult is sitting on their hands sulking, blowing spit bubbles, and feeling sorry for themselves, Dora is actually doing something about things...in the most ridiculous ways a teenager(?) can.

Not as bad as it seems

This show is a lot better than the first review states, yes when I first saw this I was disgusted that they were bringing Dora back but if you watch it you can see it is a very good show for children to learn basic life lessons as well as another language and I would recommend it to anyone from say... 2-7. This version of the show is a lot better than Dora the Explorer in the sense that it is a lot more educational and informative, It will teach basic maths - or "math" - in both English and Spanish. It also teaches life lessons like sharing and not stealing as well as the magic of friendship and how important your friends can be at times when you need them.

Love it!

This show illustrates and has excellent, wonderful values and morals. The plots are unique and it contains catchy songs. Great incorporation of Spanish and very well animated, likable characters. Really appreciate how Dora and her friends help out those who may be less fortunate. The characters prioritize helping others rather than silly, superficial objectives. All friends work really well as a team helping those that may be less fortunate and respecting their elders (e.g., their grandparents). The show also contains funny, intelligent references to modern culture (e.g., stopping la Diva as she does not allow anyone else to make music). The characters are diverse and again work really well together despite obstacles or preferences which may surface. The animation is top-notch and very colorful. This is our daughter and our favorite show for our 11 month old daughter. (We also love Team Umizoomi for similar reasons)...

Not as bad as some people may think

When the news came out saying that they were gonna bring Dora back, but that they were gonna re make her, making her older. I had mix feelings about it, specially after I saw the picture of the new older Dora. But I wanted to think that it was all for the better, and that kids that grew up watching Dora get to have an older Dora. After watching the show with my 2 year old little girl, who prefers to see this new Dora, I can say that all in all is an OK show. Is simple and to the point, lots of singing, which is what must kids are in to now days. I also love the diversity of Dora's friends. They all look so different and have different hobbies. I can't wait to see what more

Dora looks better as a teenager!!!
