‘Dora the Explorer’

In 1998, three writers were tasked to create the next hit show for Nick Jr., Nickelodeon’s preschool programming. They landed on creating a show centered around a young girl who would engage with an audience of kids, ages 2 to 5, for help in solving mysteries and going on adventures. The show would become “Dora the Explorer.” Almost 20 years later, Dora is being reimagined as a teenager in a new live-action film called “Dora and the Lost City of Gold.” Latino USA dives into the legacy of “Dora the Explorer” — then and now. see more
