Nickelodeon’s new hit preschool series, Dora and Friends: Into the City!  stars our favorite explorer Dora, now as a pre-teen. Dora now lives in a city, Playa Verde, where she attends school and goes on adventures with her group of friends – Kate, Naiya, Emma, Alana, and Pablo.
The Dora and Friends: Into the City!  DVD features four music-filled adventures with Dora and her friends, with an interactive curriculum focusing on community service, problem solving, emotional skills, Spanish Language and Latino culture. During these adventures, Dora uses her trusty map app on her smartphone and a magical charm bracelet to navigate her city.

My children and I had the opportunity to watch and review Dora and Friends  and we all loved it!. My children are huge Dora and Diego fans, but this was their first time ever seeing the older Dora. To say they were excited is an understatement, my girls were screaming for joy when I told them we were going to watch Dora as a pre-teen! Even my son, who is a tough critic, was impressed by the older Dora, but he said his favorite character is Pablo.

I really loved that Dora and Friends was well received by not only my daughters, but also my son. The colorful characters, such as Boots the monkey and Benny the bull, from the original Dora series are gone but the Dora and Friends series makes up for it with a lively and diverse cast of friends!
Dora and Friends DVD includes the following episodes:
  • We Save a Pirate Ship! – Dora and her friends are at a Pirate Festival to benefit the restoration of the city’s ancient seaside fort, and Dora promised a little boy named Jorge that he could steer the festival’s pirate ship ride. But when the pirate ship ride doesn’t show up, Dora, Kate and Pablo must build their own. They find an enchanted ship’s wheel that takes them to a talking pirate ship with secret treasures.
  • The Magic Ring – Dora and Naiya are helping out at story time with the younger kids at school when Pablo discovers a mysterious ring that shrinks him. Dora and Naiya search through the library and find the secret of the ring, discovering that it’s been stolen and lost by an evil wizard from long ago. The only way the spell can be broken is by putting the ring back on the owner’s finger, an ancient princess.
  • The Royal Ball – Dora and her friends are having a Royal Ball in honor of all the kids who helped clean up the city park. Dora and Alana head to the costume shop to get dresses, and find a golden gift box with a beautiful dress that’s perfect for Alana. The golden box comes to life and tells them that the dress is for the princess – it’s his job to get it to her! The box magically transports them to the royal grounds where they must escape a dragon and rescue the box from crocodiles.
  • Dance Party – Dora and her friends are putting on a dance party to raise money for the town’s new dance school. Alana convinces Pablo to teach her a simple step as a mirror ball magically transports them and Dora to the land of Baila, where they meet Celia. She explains to them that her overprotective father, the mayor, has outlawed dancing after she stubbed her toe at her first dance. Celia needs Dora and her friends’ help to convince the mayor that dancing is safe and fun.
Created by Nickelodeon and distributed by Paramount Home Media Distribution, Dora and Friends arrives on DVD on February 10, 2015.  If your child(ren) loved Dora’s original series they will love Dora and Friends: Into the City!
