Differences from the original show[]

  • The episodes now consist of two side-by-side 11-minute segments instead of full 22-minute episodes.
    • In addition, there is a commercial break between the episodes.
  • Map was reimagined into a female character of the same name (sometimes referred to as "Mapa"), serving a similar role that he previously had.
  • I'm the Map (replaced by Dónde Está), Backpack, Backpack (replaced by The Backpack Song), Swiper's original music, and the Travel Song aren't present in the reboot, due to the short running time and polarization.
  • A new version of the We Did It! song appears in the reboot known as Super Bien.
  • The blue cursor has been abandoned with this series. While the short series "Dora's Aventuras!" has the colored paths, it's unknown when the picture pop-up sequence will return.
  • Various segments have been changed:
    • Map's/Mapa's Segment:
      • The segment is on another world as some have 2 locations to get to the destination while other first-part or second-part episodes have only one location of getting to the destination.
    • Backpack's Segment:
      • The segment is outside instead of inside since The Backpack Parade.
  • Swiper uses his sinister laugh to know he's around, instead of whisking (Similar to the one in Dora's English Adventure)
  • Some of the characters have been changed:
    • Dora's design and her classic Seasons 1-6 outfit have received an upgrade, now featuring a blue shirt underneath her classic pink shirt, a pink barrette in her hair, a new wristband, and light pink Velcro shoes. Additionally, her ears and eyebrows are visible in this series.
    • The red boots of Boots now have the mark of a banana on the side top.
    • Backpack has been redesigned to resemble a modern backpack used by children today, which includes adjustable straps and an attachable keychain.
    • Boots, Swiper, Benny, the Grumpy Old Troll, and the Big Red Chicken remain unchanged for the most part, but now have colorized eyes alongside all the other characters.
    • Isa and Tico have received a bit of a design overhaul. While both of them now have prominent feet, it's Isa who gets the most drastic redesign, having a slightly pointed snout, purple stripes on her tail and purple highlights on her dorsal fins. Additionally, she now has fingers on her formerly stubby hands, while Tico only gains thumbs.
      • Swiper has also been slightly redesigned to an extent as well. He has a rounder snout and head and also has visible toes on his feet. His tail, much like Tico's, looks furrier as well.
    • Tico no longer has the ability to turn his vest into a life jacket.
    • The Fiesta Trio now consists of a new lineup. While the blue frog has remained (this time with more saturated colors), the group now features a marmoset and armadillo, replacing the grasshopper and snail respectively.
      • Their voices are normal pitched, rather than being high pitched.
      • They also have bigger roles; joining in on singing songs and/or going on adventures with Dora and Boots.
    • Dora's old Mami and Papi, are replaced with new ones, Abuela has a different design, and the attires of Guillermo and Isabella have switched colors.
    • Dora's friends have different characteristics:
      • Benny is super strong.
      • Isa loves to sing.
      • Tico loves to use different gadgets.
      • Big Red Chicken loves to sleep.
      • Swiper swipes stuff in a different way. When he takes something, he holds on to it and does nothing with it.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first Nick Jr. series to premiere exclusively on Noggin/Paramount+ streaming services before hitting the Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. linear cable networks. Like the other original Paramount+ series including the Rugrats and iCarly reboots, Star Trek: Prodigy, The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, Big Nate and Transformers EarthSpark, the series will also air on the Nickelodeon linear channels at a later date.
  • This is the fifth Nick Jr. series to get a Noggin app webpage and sneak peeks/interactive content before the series actually premiered. The other four being Blue's Clues & You! (2019-), Santiago of the Seas (2020-23), Baby Shark's Big Show! (2020-) and Rubble & Crew (2023-).
  • The series has the shortest running time in any Dora the Explorer series and it's one of the first series to do so, with only 11 minutes for two segments of the full episode.
  • This is the first Dora series to be made by Little Coop and Pipeline Studios. Pipeline is also known for creating shows for PBS Kids like "Work It Out Wombats!", "Alma's Way", "Elinor Wonders Why", and "Lyla in the Loop".
  • In fact, Little Coop is the first production company to be owned by Chris Gifford (the other creator of the DORA reboot).
  • This is the second Nick Jr show to be produced by Walsh Valdes Productions, the first being Santiago of the Seas.
    • This is also the second Nick Jr show to be produced by Pipeline Studios, the first being Sunny Day.
  • Swiper and the Big Red Chicken are currently the only characters to retain their original voice actors from the original series.
  • Swiper and Backpack are currently the only characters to retain their phrases from the original series.
  • This is the second project in the Dora franchise to be fully animated in CGI. The first is the amusement ride Dora & Diego's 4D Adventure: Catch that Robot Butterfly!.
    • The original series and the spin-off Dora and Friends also featured CGI elements, but they were normally combined with the regular 2D animation of both shows.
  • This is third project in the Dora franchise to feature a redesign of Backpack. The first is Dora and Friends and the second is the film Dora and the Lost City of Gold.
  • Swiper was going to have his mask reveal his hair and have his floating eyebrows removed, but was reverted back to normal and kept his eyebrows.
  • Benny was originally going to wear a backwards yellow cap. However, it was removed in the final version for unknown reasons.
  • The series has a new Fiesta Trio, consisting of the frog from the original lineup, a marmoset, and an armadillo; however some images featured the original trio in the early development.
    • The marmoset's design is based on Boots' original design.
  • In this series, Dora's voice actors that she was voiced back then are coming back to the show including Kathleen Herles, except for Caitlin Sanchez and Fátima Ptacek.
  • The end credits on nickjr.com (United States only) interestingly has no audio for unknown reasons, despite the metadata showing that there is audio present.
  • Eventually, this new series will honor the 20th anniversary of the 3rd season's original episode The Super Silly Fiesta.
  • Though we’ve seen concept art for Diego and Baby Jaguar in the same design style as Dora, it’s unknown at the moment if we will also see the return of Alicia and Daisy and they will make their official debuts.
