Nickelodeon Celebrates Dora’s 25th Anniversary

Nickelodeon and Paramount+ are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Dora franchise with a special birthday-themed episode of DORA.

The episode is a continuation of “The Great Dora Fiesta,” an anniversary initiative that also includes an expansive global consumer products line, mermaid-themed content coming in the fall, a partnership with Plan International to champion girls’ education and more.

Also, as part of the initiative, Dora is the ambassador of Beyond the Backpack, powered by Nickelodeon Our World, a kindergarten readiness campaign that provides parents and caregivers with tips and resources focusing on STEM/STEAM, literacy, health and wellness, life skills and family engagement.

Additionally, a DORA series score album, Music Leads The Way (A Dora Play-Along Album), featuring narration from Dora and Boots, has been released on all music streaming platforms.

Dora the Explorer launched on August 14, 2000. The franchise has since expanded to include three animated spin-offs, two live-action movies, multiple live touring shows, podcasts, music albums and more.
