Review:

For thirteen-years, Dora the Explorer has become one of the most popular animated series on Nickelodeon. Today, Dora's Ice Skating Spectacular! arrives on DVD just in time for the holiday season. For an added bonus there are two bonus episodes, "Catch That Shape Train!" and "Dora and Perrito to the Rescue."

Dora's Ice Skating Spectacular! has arrived on DVD and will premiere on Nick Jr. on November 25th. In this 22-minute tale, Snow Princess has been injured and cannot skate anymore. The Ice Witch becomes the best skater in the Snowy Forest and takes away everyone's skates. A snowflake asks Dora for help, so Dora and Boots travel to the Snowy Forest and along the way she has to takes on several obstacles. When she finally arrives at Snowy Forest, she challenges Ice Switch to a skating competition.

Dora and Boots jump into a sticker book in "Catch That Shape Train!" and make a train out of shapes. The winds pushes the train down the tracks before the steering wheel shape could join the other shapes. It is up to Dora and Boots to help the steering wheel rejoin the train.

Boots has accidentally fallen into a barrel that is floating down the river in "Dora and Perrito to the Rescue." It is up to Dora and her dog, Perrito, to travel to the river and save Boots before he reaches the waterfall.

Dora the Explorer is one of the best educational animated programs currently on the air, helping kids learns about numbers, shapes, and Spanish and life lessons. Dora's Ice Skating Spectacular! is a cute episode with a wintry theme and a few catchy tunes. The two additional episodes are cute as well, but I wish the episodes were more related to the winter theme. That being said, I still liked the DVD and I think it would make a great Christmas present for kids.
