4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Drive Mommy Crazy, October 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dora the Explorer - Meet Diego (DVD)

We have played this many times, and I must say that it is quite pleasant. As a result of this, and the Dora show, my 3.5 year old uses Spanish words and counting effortlessly in his dialogue. I like the message of cooperation, charity, sharing, and best of all, the encouraging "We can do it!" mentality. This DVD also contains 2 bonus episodes that are equally delightful.

The only thing I don't like about this DVD pertains to the mechanics. You cannot play both the feature and bonus episodes seamlessly, but must select the bonus episodes individually each time with controls, an unnecessary task.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST!, May 19, 2004

By	Rita "Hunna bunna" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Wow, I was expecting some better reviews when I came to review this cuz I think of all the Dora videos this is one of the best!!! Diego is a great addition and the video is fun and educational. "Lets all move like the animals do" is one of the best songs on ANY of the Dora tapes in my opinion...It gets ME dancing...... also my 3 yr old loves animals - she was sooo enthralled with baby Jaguar - talked about it for days....made up pretend play about saving her stuffed animals like they save baby jaguar.....
This was one of the Dora videos that I'd say most impacted her and she has the most fun with - after that, it is Move to the Music and Pirate Adventure.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Diego is a great addition!, November 20, 2003

By	not telling (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dora the Explorer - Meet Diego (DVD)

My ten month old daughter loves this movie and she's always watching it with her 3 year old cousin who is a boy. He likes the show too, but he was really excited when they added Diego since I guess it gave him someone to relate to better. A reviewer on here had mentioned that she didn't like the fact that they added a boy because there are not many shows out there that show strong girls just for girls. I don't see what the big deal is though. They are little kids who are just watching a show to have a good time. I'm all for my little girl being empowered by watching Dora - but I'm not going to leave it up to the cartoon to do it for her... So what if they add a little boy to the show. I'm the one that's going to be teaching her how to be a strong, independent woman. Not Dora.
My daughter and nephew love this movie! They love watching Dora and Diego and Boots go on their adventure to save the baby Jaguar that is calling for help. I'm glad they added a boy to the mix! I think that it teaches kids that there doesn't have to be a difference between boys and girls! I recommend it!
