NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mattel, Inc. (NYSE: MAT) and Nickelodeon/Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP), announced today that Dora the Explorer(TM) is growing up! The companies have introduced a whole new way to look at Dora for girls five years and up. This groundbreaking initiative, featuring fashion dolls and accessories, is a completely new brand extension that empowers girls to influence and change the lives of Dora and her new friends. It's innovative, diverse, wholesome, bi-lingual and entertaining.


"For nearly ten years, Dora the Explorer has had such a strong following among preschoolers, catapulting it into the number one preschool show on commercial television," says Gina Sirard, vice president of marketing for Mattel. "Girls really identify with Dora and we knew that girls would love to have their friend Dora grow up with them, and experience the new things that they were going through themselves. The brand captures girls' existing love of Dora and marries it with the fashion doll play and online experiences older girls enjoy."

Okay, what do i have to comment about this?


At least Dora doesnt look stupid anymore, with that backpack and pause retard-ically for 3 seconds each time she is asking a rhetorical question.



Plus, she is Latina- she has GOT TO BE hot.


Haha. Okay, honestly i feel that it really doesnt make a difference. After all it wasnt as bad as Hannah Montana, or Paris Hilton.



I just dont understand what is the big fuss all about. I guessed Parents are just not happy to let their children see reality. Reality is what it is. I think they might as well just educate them about the birds and the bees... alchohol.. the different kind of jerks you will meet...


I will never tell my children fairytales. My kids are going to watch discovery channel and watched the mammals fucked each other.


Aah.....that's nature. How wonderful!
