Does anyone else think...............?

Question

That Dora the Explorer could use a little more common sense in the presentation!? I mean come on! My daughters have this one video in which there are horses running towards Dora and Boots and all they do is say stop and then look in her backpack (that takes forever, because they do not speed it up!) for something. If that was real life (henceforth the common sense complaint!) you'd move you butt outta the way not stand there and piddle-f**t through you backpack that has things no kid should be carrying on a daily basis anyway! (She carried matches once!! and had no adult with her!) I bug the c**p outta my wife when I complain about this!! LOL I love it!

Answer 1

i hated the Dora phase. i know they're trying to teach your kids to use words, but come on...i'd like to see someone in real life wake up in the middle of the night and see a burglar in their house and say, "Swiper, no swiping!"

Answer 2

THANK YOU!

Isn't it ridiculous! and if you want the coconuts to stop falling on your head you have to say "Abra" to open your umbrella! and her cousin Diego picked up a Boa Constrictor and let it hug him! Way to teach the kids how to behave around animals!

I bug everyone too-yeah, its funny

Answer 3

you are forgetting...it is a cartoon not real life

Answer 4

Oh I agree! My daughter actually did learn some Spanish from watching the show,  but there are several situations like the one you provided where ACTION would be the first and foremost in real life, but Dora and Boots are rummaging in her backpack or encouraging the at-home audience to speak at the tv in Spanish in order to avert the impending disaster.

The one we banned our daughter from watching (she's now 5) is Angelina Ballerina. In almost every show she does something naughty, lies and whines through the entire episode, and in the end when she comes clean everyone laughs at how silly she is. Are you kidding? I prefer my daughter watches Power Rangers, lol.

Answer 5

Heck ya!! Dora has SERIOUS issues...i think she needs a psycologist...Or psycyatrist....or something....Besides that, it really is stupid that she stands there looking through her backpack for something that SHE shouldn't have access to....Honestly, her parents must not pay attention at all!
