Anything Dora in our house is a hit and this is no exception. My two girls love the Dora Saves the Mermaid DVD and this doll looks like the character in the movie which is fun for them. Not sure about the issue with the sound or movement per the other review, perhaps it was a battery issue? Sound and movement work great for us. My youngest loves the stories Dora tells. I would recommend this toy.

We purchased this doll for our grand daughter's birthday. It worked twice then quit. What a dissapointment to our grand daughter. She was broken hearted. All the other Dora Items we have purchased seem to be ok but this one just didn't work. Nothing about it worked. The talking did not work either. It should be taken off the market., I have heard the same thing happend to others that have purchased this toy.

Terrible waste of money! My four year old was so dissapointed when she finally got this for her birthday. It does talk and move and sing but the skirt does not retract fully. Instead of turning around it gets stuck and goes back and forth over and over and the skirt doesn't fully retract. Because this a mermaid doll she was expecting to bath with it. She couldn't understand that this mermaid doesn't go into the water. Very large and chunky. I figured it being a "SPARKLE" Dora the base or something would light up or be sparkly but there are no sparkles except on the malfunctioning skirt. Big dull dud. Don't waste you money.
