VHS Movie Reviews of Dora the Explorer - To the Rescue [VHS]

Movie Review: D D D D Dora!
Summary: 5 Stars

My 2 year old LOVES Dora the Explorer. We now have a few of these tapes, since Dora is not on t.v. all day long. This tape, the second in our collection, is adorable. She loves the episode with the little blue bird (where does he have to go? To the little blue tree!). I like these videos because they do teach the children some basic Spanish words, instead of just having them glued to watch the show. Now my daughter uses words like "Vamanos!" and "delicioso" correctly, and at 2, I think this is a pretty big accomplishment. We recommend Dora the Explorer videos to everyone we know and give them as birthday gifts. They are always a hit!

Movie Review: A Good Role Model
Summary: 5 Stars

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves this. She is adopted and is hispanic. Dora is a great role model for her and is helping me teach her Spanish. The video teaches social, moral, and academic skills and is fun as well. The stories are sweet as Dora rescues baby animals.

Movie Review: I'd probably buy more Nick Junior tapes if it wasn't for..
Summary: 4 Stars

the huge volume of marketing material at the beginning. There's almost more preview material than actual show. That said, I do think Dora is a great role model for pre-schoolers. The tapes have opened up lots of conversation between my 2 year old and me on being brave, helping others and figuring things out. She loves to act out the 2 stories on the tape - especially the baby blue bird one.

Movie Review: Dora the explorer - To the rescue.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a fun and sweet video.The kids even learn something, the boy i gave this video to is three and he absolutely loves Dora the explorer. Often he stands in front of the tv and screams with it. It's a good movie for little kids, i recommend it.

Movie Review: We Did It!
Summary: 5 Stars

This will have you singing and dancing "We did it!" My toddler can't seem to get enough of Dora, and we've been putting our VCR to some wear with this one. The popular Nick Jr. television show for toddlers and preschoolers with Dora and her friend Boots the monkey is finally on video, with two educational, fun, and funny episodes that teach viewers tons. Viewing time comes out to about 45 minutes for the entire tape, but it's definitely worth purchasing for the young ones in the family. My husband and I sit down with our son to watch it, and HE showed US the dance! It's a must-have!

Summary of Dora the Explorer - To the Rescue [VHS]

Similar to the interactive environment of Blue's Clues, but geared toward a younger audience, comes Dora the Explorer, a fully animated Nick Jr. cartoon. Like all Dora episodes, To the Rescue resembles a computer game (sans mouse and cursor) to teach Spanish, number and object recognition, deduction, reasoning, and early math skills. Its host is a girl, not much older than her viewers, with a sunny disposition, bilingual abilities, and a no-nonsense approach to problem solving; in other words, a worthy role model for toddlers and preschoolers who willingly play along with the show's format. In the first of two 25-minute segments, Dora discovers that three award-winning piglets have escaped from their pen. She enlists the help of viewers to rescue them before Swiper the Fox swipes their blue ribbons. "I need your help," she explains. "If you see the fox, yell 'Swiper'." And yell they will. They'll also choose items from her backpack, count piggies, and steer the swine clear of danger. The second segment charges viewers to help Dora return a lost baby bird to her mother, who lives in a hard-to-find little blue tree. But first, they must select an object from Dora's backpack to help dry the wet bird and then locate the tree on her map. Children will learn a handful of Spanish words as they successfully resolve the dilemmas, and can shake out their wiggles with "The Monkey Dance." Parents should be mindful that Dora is meant for the ages 5-and-under crowd. Older kids will find it repetitive, predictable, and slow-going--the very qualities that make it a winner for its intended audience. --Lynn Gibson
