3.0 out of 5 starsDaughter Only Cares for One Episode

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2015

Another season of Dora, much like all the others. At one point this season was free with Prime but it is not free any longer. I was obliged to purchase the only episode my daughter likes from this season, the Halloween Parade one. We've seen the other episodes when this season was free and my daughter never cared much for it. The first season of DTE is her favorite. She also really likes the Thanksgiving Parade movie.

Trivia

• This is the last episode to premiere in 2008.
• This is the 106th episode of the show.
• This is the first episode Backpack sings her standard full song with her new voice actress (excluding the marching band version in The Backpack Parade).
• Big Red Chicken shrinks little which means he's called the Little Red Chicken (just like in the storybook in The Legend of the Big Red Chicken), it's because he's got the bunny rabbit's blue ribbon.
• When Dora tells Big Red Chicken that he's got the bunny's blue ribbon, one can see closely that he's shaking his head "No" even though he does and that Dora is right.
• Dora and Boots don't sing the Travel Song in this episode, they instead sing Abracadabra and getting Big Red Chicken's magic wand back.
• It is unknown how Swiper and the Fiesta Trio got into Big Red Chicken's magic hat since they never even knew the magic word on how to get in.
• The "We Did It!" song is extended to accommodate the characters saying the magic word "Abracadabra!" four times.
• This episode premiered exactly 2 years after Dora's World Adventure! premiered.
• This is the 20th instance where Dora and Boots returned to where they came from after reaching the final place on the map.
