The powers that be have decided that Dora is a) only a girls’ property and b) in need of a make-over. So Dora is getting a brand new look and a brand new show – Dora’s Explorer Girls. This time, Dora is a tween who lives in a city and has a bunch of girl friends (but no boys!) and well… doesn’t go on any adventures.

HEre's the new Dora. Sigh.

looks like they are aiming for a slightly older market which is a shame. Ella is obsessed with Dora at the moment and particularly loves boots & diego, so I don't think she would be so interested in the new Dora.  Looks like we will just be sticking to watching the old espiodes.

She's not replacing the other Dora, she's simply a new product for slightly older girls to move onto. At least that was what I read in an article when the sneak peek was released about ohhhhh, 8 or 9 months I think it was.

Here we go....i found the statement saying the orginal Dora is not being replaced right here

To be honest I think it could be great,something for young girls to move onto that's not Barbie or Bratz or whatever.

shame they didnt make it Doras cousin - alicia or something....but then Ella is addicted to dora here too so maybe nice to grow her to a nice older dora than a bratz - i cannot stand those bratz things but have given in and bought a barbie (it was on sale)

still looks wholesome to me but then it was only a matter of time before they took Dora to a new level I guess....marketing and money driven i bet!

DP's daughter who's nearly 6 is a big Dora fan. I suppose what annoyed me is that Dora has become a predictable 'girl' interested in Fashion and only associating with girls rather than an expolorer out doing stuff.

Yes it's better than bratz but not by much.
