I dont understand why parents are so upset about this new Dora. i am a 14 year old girl and as some one who is often times around kids who this doll is targeted at i think would love it. Girls that age already like to dress up and look cute it makes then giggle with exsitment. I think this doll is apropriate considering the other doll on the market(bratz, barbis exs.) Parents with girls of that age should know tweenage is all about having fun and looking good while you do it.

My little cousin has been watching Dora since she was super little. She has had EVERY DVD, movie, doll, piece of clothing, Pajamas, hair ties, toothbrush ETC. ANYTHING! YOU NAME IT! And i just showed her a picture of the new Dora and she just LOVED it! and she's only 5. Every time companies change something people will ALWAYS find a way to make a big deal out of it! its just Dora growing up people!!!! The old Dora is still on. I personally dont like the old Dora cause it was for the younger genretions, But now that she looks more older, and more mature i think i might even consider watching the new series, if there is any.

Im sorry! but people got to get a grip on themselves! I cant believe the comments Ive read. Anyone that has a 5 year old daughter very well know that the baby stuff they were once into becomes of thing of yesturdays past! Theyre into typical girl stuff. Bracelets, purses, having their nails painted like their mommy. Girls always tend to be more mature then boys around this age. This is the age they discover that boys can be mean & not everyone is so friendly like thier little imaginitative everything is rainbow, pretty flowers & cute bugs (inly) world. daughter who loved watching both Dora & Diego is starting to watch other more kid shows & letting go of the preschool shows. If the RUGRATS grew up, so can she.Kudo's on the new Dora! I look fwd to seeing it w/ my daughter!

My daughter loved the idea of Dora growing up with her. Her comment was, "she looks like me, I love it!" I think there is way too much hype centered around this image.

My 6 year old daughter saw the new Dora look and Loved it. She is so excited and said "Dora is growing up with me..". She cant wait for the new episodes to come out. It's good that they are still going to be running the old Dora for the younger kids just begining to watch Dora. The new look shows that the developers are thinking of the children that have been watching since Dora came out, and understand that they have grown up. It's a wonderful way to keep the tweens interested and it still gives them a positive, familiar character to watch.

I have a six year old and would love to see more educational shows for her age group. However, I do wish that the new Dora would be more like the original, sporty and knowledgeable, showing girls that is okay to be different, smart, and "outdoorsy". As long as she is dressed conservatively and the show is educational, not about shopping and social popularity I guess it would be okay. I don't like the tendency to lean toward the Bratz or Barbie personality. I personally love the old Dora and think she could be presented in a more suitable way for the 6 to 8 year old age group.

me personally, think that people who are making a big deal about Dora growing up is ridiculous.. the old dora will still go on... but the new one is for "Tweens".. now a days every little girl likes fashion, we are in the 21st century now!! Everything changes..!!! Its really insane that parents I guess dont understand why there is a new look to Dora, Dora would be a even better role model growing up why?? because it makes children more educated and more mature especially growing up because they are looking up to her.. so i think the new look is great.. our children dont stay little for ever, Dora does not look trashy at all... she looks like a normal 7 year old grow that you would see in your neighborhood.. say something if she actually looked like a "prosti".thats where u need 2 worry!!

My 19 month old loves Dora!!! But when I saw the new Dora I was upset and angry with mattel for the move with Dora. Seeing this new detailed version makes it worse. Why the jewlery and accessories? And why does she have to grow up? That is not fear for my 1 year old. Mattel is only thinking of the money and they want our children to grow up well too fast. Let them be kids. Leave Dora Alone.
Come on...... what's Next ALL Cartoons are gonna grow up NOW!!!
Just because kids grow up doesnot mean cartoons grow up with them.

My grandaughter started watching Dora when she was 1 year old. She has lost interest in Dora now that she is 8 years old. This new Dora look is fantastic and will regain the interest of my grandaughter now that Dora is growing up just like my grandaughter is! Thanks Mattel for keeping the younger Dora for little ones and creating the new Dora for my grandaughter! At least the new image is NOT "smutty"looking. The Bratz dolls look more like "hookers" than girls.

My 4 year old daughter has been an avid Dora fan for awhile now. When I showed her Dora's new image her response was "Dora's growing up just like me. She's a big girl now." I think the parents have more of a issue with the new Dora than children do. It's not very realistic to have a character remain forever a toddler. She should grow up just like a normal child would. There is already so many unrealistic ideas being shown on many other cartoons and programs for children. This is a show you can safely let your child watch and not worry about the content in it. It's a wholesome show and the new Dora is an accurate representation of young girls.

I am very dissapointed with the new Dora! the new Dora is as shallow as the barbie doll and I undestand they want to target a more grown up children, but I do not understand why they have to create her so "perfect" with lipstick, jewerly and slim. Yes, it is true that at home is where you educate your children but if they have a character they admire, they want to be like them so why they couldn't do a grown up Dora with her boots , similar sporty outfit and less make up!!!. Children already want to grow up fast, why helping them to believe that is ok

Too bad you only have a three year old. In a few years she will be six and both you and her will appreciate the tween Dora. If I were dealing with a two or three year old
child, I would continue to let her play with her "age appropriate" Dora. I'm not being
funny, but this is like wanting a child to always ride a tricycle. Six year old girls are into
sleepovers, computers, computer games, I am very excited about the educational potential of this tween Dora. Incidently, I am a retired school teacher.

My 3 and a half just burst into tears when she saw the new Dora. She loves Dora just the way she is.
" I don't really like the new Dora," said my daughter just now.
It's a sad day!

I LOVE the new look for Dora! I think this is exactly what my 8 year old would like. She currently thinks Dora is for babies like my 3 year old. The accessories are just like current tween trends ESPECIALLY Latina's! My girls have had their ears pierced since they were a few months old, so the Tween Dora is just perfect! She's not dressed trashy. Besides I think parents that are "up in arms" are forgetting that it's THEIR job to teach their children the difference of what they believe is appropriate & not. Enforce your values to your children - talk to them they really are listening. :)

I really think that some r really making this more than is necessary. The key word here is "Tweenage". Do you really think that Dora the preschooler will last forever. Do you really think your child will be a preschooler forever. I think that this is an appropriate step. These parents who seem to want their child to stay "a child" need to come to reality, they will grow. There is nothing wrong with a young girl wanting to accessorize. How many of you, when you were "tweenage", "accessorized" in your mother's jewelry? People please get real. If you start with such topics at home, (how much is too much) how to accessorize, make up, etc., there wont be any room for "friends", to come in and persuade your child differently. Again, the key word is tweenagers...not preschoolers.

My granddaughter who is 6 years old is not very interested in Dora anymore.
This past week-end she gave all her Dora dvd's to a younger cousin who is age 2.
This cousin loves Dora just as much as my granddaughter once did. I'm excited about the tween Dora because it offers an opportunity for my granddaughter to continue
growing up with Dora. We will just buy the tween Dora stuff for her and continue to
buy the original Dora products for the two year old. I think the idea is great. This is
a wonderful alternative to the Brat doll. I know that instead of Boots, the mao, and the
backpack that this tween Dora will come with all the new electronics that this older age group is iinto.

The issue here is less about the new Dora and more about why they would change the original Dora. She is perfect now. Why change her? Dora is a preschool icon. She is adored by so many little children and their mothers for the complete mix of positive attributes. When Nickelodeon wanted a boy brand they developed Diego. Why wouldn't they just develop this Tween brand as a cousin or a friend? We saw a need for role models for our Tween daughters and developed the Hip Chicas, to give girls that grow out of Dora new
Latina role models that are hip, smart, fashionable, yet socially conscious and turned the concept of "HIP" into "Help Improve the Planet". Hey, maybe one day Dora and her new "four friends" can leave the mall and the shopping for a while and visit the Hip Chicas at our site.

My wife and I were one of those 'up in arms' parents who were angry with mattel for the move with Dora. Seeing this new detailed version makes it worse. Why the jewlery? What does a 5-8y.o need to know about accessories? As parents of two girls, Mattel has lost us as customers. It proves that once again, they are out of touch with the Hispanic market. More so with the values needed for young girls to be confident members of the world. They want our children to grow up well too fast. Let them be kids.
Leave Dora Alone.
