Trivia

  • This is the 137th episode of the show.
  • The early Season 1 version of swiping music is used.
  • This is the first episode seeing Boots as a chicken, however, he's still a monkey, he's just half chicken, half monkey, which technically makes him a chunky.
    • Because of this, he calls himself "Chicken Boots". Another instance will be when Boots caught the Little Chicks in Dora's Fantastic Gymnastics Adventure.
  • When Boots turns into a chicken and wants to be a monkey again, this is the same as when Benny turns into a potato by himself by accident in The Big Potato and wants to be a bull again.
  • This episode is very similar to The Big Potato and The Big Red Chicken's Magic Show.
  • Isa and Benny don't appear in this episode.
  • Dora and Boots don't travel with each other in this episode because Boots is a chicken and he can't travel with Dora when he's a chicken, Dora is instead traveling with Big Red Chicken, but she, of course, still has the viewer at home to help.
  • Dora and Boots don't sing the Travel Song in this episode, they're not with each other, but still even though Dora is with Big Red Chicken, they still don't sing the Travel Song in this episode.
  • This episode was seen on the DVD titled Dora Loves Boots before it aired on TV.
  • It is unknown how Swiper and the Fiesta Trio got into the magic hat.
  • Dora and Boots and their friends are actually outside Dora's House at the end of the episode and for the whole episode the whole time.
  • This is the final episode where Caitlin Sanchez would voice Dora before her departure.
    • Starting with the next episode, Fátima Ptacek would take over.
    • However, she would voice Dora one more time in Dora in Troll Land, considering that the episode was held back to airing during Season 7.
