![Dora the Explorer - Dora Saves the Prince [VHS]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51D3EYYHFDL.jpg)
Dora sticks to the formula that finds kids flocking to her Nick TV show in this double feature, making it a foolproof proposition for a fuss-free 50 or so minutes. The title episode catches up with the plucky, huge-eyed Latina as she and Boots rally to rescue a banished prince. Along the way, they enlist preschoolers' help to abre (open) forbidding gates and doors and count to three in Spanish. "El Coqui" keeps the same helpers spellbound as they finagle, with Dora, through three obstacles to return a lost frog home. An improbable array of skill builders factor into these shows (math, Spanish, map reading, and others), but they're all as easily evidenced as they are effective. In the end, Dora not only saves the prince, she also saves parents from concerns that cartoons like hers will turn their kids' brains to mush. --Tammy La Gorce Review: Deliciosa - At the beginning I thought that Dora was not so helpful in teaching Spanish to toddlers. Well, I was wrong. It's not a crash course but it gives some words that can turn out useful. My daughter loves Dora, and the episodes in this tape are nice. The story of Dora saves the prince is a traditional story where an evil-minded witch secludes a young prince in a high tower. Now a little girl with her faithfull monkey save the prince. The plot is like every fairy-tales for children you can find. However, Dora the rescuer is a real change, a little girl instead of the usual prince, this time behind bars in a tower. Moreover, the evil-minded witch repents herself and become a good witch. A happy end without hurting anybody. Well done. Review: Four Stars - good

TWO separate 20 minute shows(the island one has been on T>V>numberous times--are on this type!!!! THIS IS NOT LISTED ON THE PREVIEW~~IT DEFINATELY SHOULD BE!!!!the new section is ONLY 20 minutes long --cute-typical Dora style song- going over crocadile lake- thru the forest to get to castle-new charaters-- the witch (will not scare )and the prince(a cute little guy) are the exciting part and does hold the interest of my 2 year and 3 1/2 year old--personally for the price of the ++++20 minutes++++for that is all that is new~~~~ I would have waited for it to be on t.v.

I'm fairly new to the Dora scene as we didn't have cable when my oldest was a preschooler, but was apalled today to hear Dora and Boots singing a song teaching my child wicken!! I can live with witches on the show and pretend play of fairytale lands, but to actually promote something like that is just wrong. Unless Dora is going to start singing "Jesus Loves Me" and maybe something Jewish, I think she needs to leave out the wicken! I TOTALLY agree with the other mom who was so upset about finding this in a children's show. She probably misspelled things because she was so upset. If you all are so concerned about it being such a wonderful teaching tool, then you are paying very close attention to what it's really teaching! My daughter that didn't have Dora learned Spanish just fine from Big Bird and Rosetta and that's where we'll stay!
