DVD Reviews of Dora the Explorer - Pirate Adventure
DVD Review: Wonderful for children
Summary: 5 Stars
In this children's video, Dora and her friends are about to put on a pirate play, until their costumes are stolen by real pirates. The premise of this fun children's musical tale is to follow a map, find the pirates and the costumes, and happily resume their play.
I actually enjoyed this video almost as much as my Pre-K class that I showed it to. First of all, I loved that Dora and her crew are bi-lingual. Interspersed within the dialog is a smidgen of"Holas", "Attencions", and some "Donde estas?". My Spanish speaking students perked up as they heard their familiar language, while my English speaking students easily picked up some new words.
The video also teaches math and map skills, as the children were encouraged to count along, following land marks to get to the final hiding place of the pirates. Directionality is taught amid all the singing and dancing, as children are encouraged to find certain objects and the unanimous response from them was "Behind you."
Pirate Adventure is very participatory, with the viewer singing and following along. Dora continuously talks to the viewer, asks questions, and pauses while waiting for the children to respond orally. There was a refrain throughout the show and the children were happy to join in the repetition, by chanting "Give us back our treasure!"
The children watching Dora the Explorer- Pirate Adventure were very attentive and responsive and I was so pleased that beside the obvious entertainment value in the singing and the dancing, the children were learning both math and literacy skills. Again, I especially liked the value of Spanish being used, as it empowers the Spanish speaking child to hear his native tongue, and it broadens the English speaking child in accepting a larger world outside of himself.
Description of Dora the Explorer - Pirate Adventure
Join Dora for her biggest adventure ever, a special double-length high-seas musical adventure! Dora, Boots, Diego, and even Baby Jaguar set sail with an ensemble cast in Dora's first double-length musical episode filled with singing, star catching, and plenty of pirate-packed action! Yo ho ho! Dora and all her friends are putting on a musical Pirate Play, and you're part of the cast! But when the Pirate Piggies accidentally take Dora's treasure chest of costumes to Treasure Island, she and her friends need to set sail on a musical journey to get it back! Shiver me timbers! They'll need your sing-along help to get past the Singing Bridge, the Big Bad Rocks, a wild whale, a sneaky Swiper, and more! Along the way, try to catch singing stars, including Hero Star, the strongest Explorer Star of them all! Dora's special musical adventure will have you singing and exploring! So come on, mateys! Vamanos!Musical theater is a fun and exciting experience for preschoolers--especially when the stars are familiar characters like Dora, Boots, Diego, and the rest of the Dora the Explorer gang. In this double-length episode, Dora and her friends, including a new baby jaguar, are about to perform a musical play about pirates for an audience of friends and relatives. When the Pirate Pigs steal the treasure chest with all the costumes inside, Dora sets out to cross the seven seas and pass under the Singing Bridge in order to get to Treasure Island and retrieve the costumes. Dora and her friends sing lots of catchy songs as they overcome obstacles like fog, rocks, and waterfalls and catch some singing stars--all with the help of young viewers. Especially memorable are the silly renditions of classic children's songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as sung by the confused Singing Bridge--a guaranteed chuckle for viewers of all ages. Skills emphasized include Spanish vocabulary, singing, and counting to seven. (Ages 2 to 5) --Tami Horiuchi
