200pxdora_and_bootsLately, I got hooked in watching Dora the Explorer. It started when I rented a Dora vcd at VideoCity because Shamaye wants to have it. As soon as we got home, I played it, and suddenly, all my pamangkins gathered around and started singing the Dora's song. It was fun. So, I bought a dvd of it. And now, it has been the reason of all the AWAY, IYAKAN, UPAKAN, and TULAKAN of my pamangkins. At the moment, Shamaye has it, and I don't know if she has plan of returning it to me. Hehe...

For all those, who don’t have any idea what I’m talking, Dora the Explorer is an American animated television series for preschool-age children, that is broadcast on Nickelodeon. In every episode, Dora goes on a quest, usually to help someone in trouble or otherwise do a good deed for someone. Her quests often involve gathering key objects and surmounting obstacles, and are usually done in three stages. Dora always asks the viewers at home to help her do things or to tell her things she needs to know. She can think of a way out of any trouble she or her friends come across.

Boots the Monkey is Dora's best friend on the show. Boots is present with Dora on her adventures, and he helps Dora to solve clues and puzzles..

Whenever Dora and Boots are successful in a given portion of their quest, the Fiesta Trio appears from seemingly nowhere to congratulate Dora and celebrate for a brief few seconds with music. The Fiesta Trio is a group of three small animals: a grasshopper, a snail, and a frog.

Dora has a purple Backpack, which provides her of whatever she needs to complete her quests. To make the Backpack open up, Dora asks the viewers at home to say "Backpack." The Backpack then sings a little introduction and asks the viewers at home to choose what Dora needs from among the Backpack's contents. Afterwards, the remaining contents go back into Backpack, who says, "Yum yum yum yum yum, delicioso!"

The Map provides travel guidance and advice. When not being consulted, the rolled-up Map resides in a side pocket on the Backpack; to make the Map come out, Dora asks the viewers at home to say "Map." This is the Map's cue to introduce himself to the audience with a repetitive song.

That's it... and I also love the songs though...
