Dora's Backpack Adventure (2002)

My son is a huge fan of Dora, and the material is great. Unfortunately the quantity of advertising at the beginning of this video is outrageous. I know that Ads at the start of a video are the standard, but over 10 minutes before the video starts on a child's video is outrageous. To wade through this much advertising to see the content they should give the video away for free. Yes, you can use the fast forward button every time your child watches, or you can record episodes easily direct from your own T.V. As this tape only contains two twenty minute episodes you won't have to work to hard to make your own comparable tape.

My 3 year old son is a diehard Dora fan. Recently he really started to pick up on the few Spanish words they have on the English DVDs and the television show. He was very excited to watch this video. I think it holds his attention even more than the others and his Spanish is skyrocketing. I wish the character's voices weren't so high pitched (seems to always happen in Spanish speaking programs all of the children have high voices) and that they spoke a little slower. But if your child watches Dora over and over, why not add a little Spanish?

We didn't realize how much our daughter liked Dora until our local cable company dropped "Nick Jr." programming, when she was 8 mo. old. At age 15mo. she saw Dora's picture at a bookstore, and thereafter would ask us, "D-D-D-Dora". Anything an 8 mo. baby remembers that long must be good.

So we got the Prince video, and the only problem is our tolerance for r-r-r-repeat showings.

We really like the clear language used, the repitition, the sort of "normal" fantasies (as opposed to sensory overload action/sound), and the Spanish inclusion. If they'd do the same stories with Chinese inclusions (or French, etc., etc.,) that would be great.

Our great objection is the 7 minutes of senseless advertisements at the beginning of the tape. When will Americans wake up and object forcefully to the invasive carcinoma that is excessive commercialization of society?

I would highly recommend this Dora video. My 15 month old daughter watches it over and over. And, I swear that her first word was "backpack"! She laughs at and babbles to the tape, claps, and thoroughly enjoys every minute that she's watching.
