On this date 20 years ago today, a new chapter of preschool television legacy was born. Nickelodeon launched Dora the Explorer, an educational series that did the impossible, introducing children to the cultures and vocabulary of other countries, those that speak Espanol to be precise.
Over the years, the Dora franchise has grown, spanning over 175 episodes, two spin-offs Go Diego Go! in 2005 and Dora the Explorer & Friends: Into the City in 2014, a broadway musical adaptation, merchandise, books, videogames, theme park appearances and a 2019 live-action movie adaptation Dora the Explorer and the Lost City of Gold starring Nickelodeon alum Isabella Moner as the new portrayer of one of the first preschool hits of the current millennium that really took the world by storm.
It is currently unknown what Nickelodeon and ViacomCBS have put up their sleeves to ring in the 20th anniversary of one of their biggest preschool properties ever.
Ahuge thank you to Kathleen Herles, Catllin Sanchez, Fatina Pacnek, Harrison Chad, Danny Trejo, Blake Bertrand, Jake T. Austin, Sasha Toro, Jose Zeleya, Marc & Eric Weiner, Chris Gillford, Valerie Walsh and the entire staff who have worked so hard to bring this Latina-teaching legacy to life.
Additional thanks to all of the celebs who guest starred on the episodes and all the fans for watching and supporting this iconic preschool series. Without your help, Dora would have never become the success that it is today.
Muchas Gracias for all your support. It has been an incredible adventure.
Happy 20th Anniversary to Dora the Explorer (2000-2020)
