[We start our story in the living room.]
Hey, guys!
Hey, guys!
(music starts playing) What are you dancing today?
They start dancing.
"¡Hola, soy Dora! Dora the dancer!"
"And I'm Boots! Boots the dancer!"
She has a question: "Do you like to dance?"
Boots does! "I LOVE to dance!"
Dora says she and Boots are doing the Mambo dance!
She also has some big news.
She turns down the music. Now here's the big news!
"Today is my cousin Daisy's
special 15th birthday party, her fiesta de quinceañera! Where she becomes all grown up!"
"And we're all invited to her special birthday party!"
"OOH-OOH-AAH-AAH!"
"A party with all
the big kids!"
"COOL!"
She explains further that they're going to do the Mambo dance at Daisy's party!
Boots is excited. "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!"
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
Let's all dance the Mambo!
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo,
Mambo!
"Do you wanna learn the Mambo dance?"
What do you think?
"Great!"
"You have to stand up to dance!"
"Stand up, please! Up, up, up!"
"Stand up, STAND UP!"
Get ready to dance! And do what they do!
Now, march in place! March in place! March in place! March in place!
And wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips!
Put your hands in front of you and...
Circle your hands! Circle your hands! Circle your hands!
"You're dancing the Mambo!"
(music concludes)
"Good dancing!"
Boots had fun. (He laughs)
"Now we're ready to dance the Mambo at Daisy's special party!"
(phone ringing) Hmm, who could that be?
"Hello?"
"¡Hola, Dora! It's Daisy!"
"It's my cousin Daisy!" she said to the viewer.
"Happy birthday, Daisy!"
"¡Gracias, prima!"
"My birthday party is about to start."
Just to make sure, she asks about practicing to dance. "Did you practice dancing the Mambo for my party?"
"We practiced, Daisy!"
Boots talks as well. "Yeah, we’re ready to mambo!"
"¡Fantastico! And don’t forget to bring my special crown and shoes for the party."
Luckily… "Don't worry, Daisy,
we've got 'em!" (Here they are!)
"Great!
But you have to hurry, Dora!
I can't start the party without my
crown and shoes!"
"We're coming, Daisy! ¡Nos vemos! (See you!)"
(hangs up)
"We got to bring Daisy her special crown and shoes.
She can’t start the without them."
Will you help them take the crown and shoes to Daisy?
Great!
Boots has something they can use to carry them for safe keeping.
Dora puts the crown
then the shoes
in this purple box.
"And remember, we need to watch out for that sneaky fox, Swiper." she said, since they will never know when he will show up.
"Yeah, he'll try to SWIPE Daisy's present!” Boots replied.
Come on, let’s go!
Off they went.
(bells ringing from afar)
"Uh-oh!
The bells are ringing!"
That means it’s almost time for Daisy's party!
"And they CAN'T start the party without us!"
We need to find the quickest way to Daisy's party,
so we can give Daisy her present.
Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?
Boots knows! "The Map!"
The Map, that's right!
"I need your help to check the Map and find the quickest way to Daisy's party."
You have to say, "Map"!
There he is! Say "Map!"
All right! He SPRINGS out! Let's see what he says…
Dora and Boots need to find the quickest way to Daisy's party, so they can give Daisy her special birthday present! Luckily, Map knows the quickest way to the party! Listen carefully...
First, you have to go past the barn.
Then, go through the rainforest.
And that's how you'll get to Daisy's party! (Mambo music plays)
Now Map is dancing the Mambo! He must be excited!
So remember: Barn, Rainforest, Daisy's Party!
So tell Dora: First, you go to the barn!
"Where do we go first?" Dora asks.
"The barn, right!"
So first we have to find the barn.
¿Donde esta? Do you see the barn? (Is it on the first, second, or third path?)
There it is, it's on the first path!
Right, there it is!
"Come on!
Let’s go to Daisy’s party
so we can give Daisy her birthday present."
"They can't start the party without us!"
"¡Vamonos, Let’s Go!" (In the Chilean dub, it’s the other way around)
![[How about we practice the Mambo instead of the Travel Song today?] "Come on,](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2024-08-12-17h30m25s200.png "Vlcsnap-2024-08-12-17h30m25s200.png (127 KB)")
[How about we practice the Mambo instead of the Travel Song today?]
"Come on,
"Come on,
let's dance the Mambo!"
"Sing with us!"
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
Let's all dance the Mambo!
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
"Let's all dance the Mambo on our way to Daisy's party!"
"You have to stand up to dance!"
"Stand up, please!"
Dance with me!
Now, march in place! March in place! March in place! March in place! (Note that the following sequence up (until the "Good dancing!" part) is used again later in the episode.)
And wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips!
Put your hands in front of you and...
Circle your hands! Circle your hands! Circle your hands! Circle your hands!
"You're dancing the Mambo!"
(music concludes)
Good dancing!
We made it to the barn!
So far things are fine. Until...
Swiper disguised as a duck, a "mambo duck".
"Hey, Dora! That’s a funny looking duck!" said Boots.
Dora knew something seems fishy. "I don't think that's just a duck", she said.
Who's inside that duck suit?
It's Swiper the fox! He’s gonna swipe Daisy’s present!
(...swiping.)
"You're TOO LATE!"
"You'll NEVER find the present now!"
(Oh, YES they will!)
(Oh, YES they will!)
He runs away after giving them a head start.
(Oh, please! They just made it to the barn. How could you expect them to FAIL, Swiper?!)
(Oh, please! They just made it to the barn. How could you expect them to FAIL, Swiper?!)
”Dora!
Daisy’s present’s rolling away!” said Boots.
"It’s on that conveyor belt!"
”Oh no!” she said,
”We’ve got to get Daisy’s present back!”
Will you help them get Daisy’s present back?
Great!
Come on!
Into the barn they go! Let's see where the present ends up!
Wow!
Look at all the conveyor belts!
POP!
There goes the present!
We have to figure out which conveyor belt the present is on.
If it’s on the conveyor belt with the circle, you say, "circulo". Can you say "circulo"? Great!
If it’s on the conveyor belt with the triangle, you say, "triángulo". Can you say "triángulo"? Great!
Which conveyor belt is the present on? Circulo or triángulo?
The circle one!
Circulo, right!
Circulo, right!
It goes through.
Boots wonders where it’s going now.
Quick! Which conveyor belt is the present on? Circulo or triángulo?
Triangle!
Triángulo, ¡si!
Triángulo, ¡si!
Look! MORE conveyor belts!
¡Rápido! Which conveyor belt is the present on? Circulo or triángulo?
Triangle again!
¡Triángulo, ¡si!
¡Triángulo, ¡si!
Oh no!
It went through that hole!
"DORA!
Daisy's present is going to fall in the mucky mud!"
The three little piggies saw something falling towards them.
It might hit them (or even get Daisy's present dirty)!
Help Dora and Boots catch Daisy's present.
Put your hands out in front of you
and…
Catch!
(Here it comes! Hurry!) Catch!
CATCH!
That was close! But…HEY! Where'd they go?!
(There they are! In that haystack!) You caught it! Good catching!
We got Daisy's present back!
Thanks for helping!
"PHEW! THAT was close!" said Boots. It really was!
Come on!
They made it!
Look! The frog drives the tractor and the grasshopper and snail are in the back seat!
Off they go!
"We made it past the barn!"
"We have to figure out where to go next!"
(Instead of using the picture pop-up sequence…) "You have to say, 'Map'!"
ZOOM! What does he have to say? There's only one way to find out!
"We're doing GREAT!" said Map. Now let's review…
We made it past the barn (CHECK!) Where do we go next?
We made it past the barn (CHECK!) Where do we go next?
The rainforest, right! Map then asks the viewer to tell Dora that next we go to the rainforest.
"Where do we go next?" she asked.
Come on! Tell her!
Come on! Tell her!
The rainforest, right!
¿Donde esta? Where is the rainforest? (Wait! It's blocked by those trees!)
That's better! NOW do you see the rainforest?
Right, there it is!
¡Si, Alli esta!
"Come on!"
"Let’s go to Daisy's party, so we can give Daisy her special present!"
"They CAN'T start the party WITHOUT us!"
"¡Vamonos!"
"Come on!"
"Sing with us!"
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
Let's all dance the Mambo!
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
"Let's dance the Mambo for Daisy's party!"
"You have to stand up to dance!" (The rest of this is the same as the previous time.)
(bells ringing)
"Uh-oh! The bells are ringing!"
"We've got to hurry to Daisy's party fast!"
Boots sees some help!
"It's our friend Robot Bicycle!"
She thinks that Robot Bicycle can get them to the rainforest.
Off they go!
WHOA! This road sure is bumpy!
Another bump! WHOOPS!
OH NO!
"Dora, where did Daisy's present go?!"
"It's up in the treetops, but it’s so high up, I can’t see which tree it’s in!
Do you see which tree Daisy's present landed on?
Is it on the first,
second,
third,
fourth,
or fifth tree?
The fourth tree! Right! But how are they going to get it?
Boots can climb up to get it!
Up he goes!
"Monkeys are good at climbing!"
Go, Boots, go!
He got it!
Yay, Boots!
Thanks for helping! Let’s go!
Pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal!
They made it!
Thanks, Robot Bike!
(It winks)
We made it to the Rainforest!
Oh no! A rain cloud!
"We CAN'T let Daisy's present get wet!" said Boots.
Or else it will be ruined!
Or else it will be ruined!
"We need something to keep us dry in the rainforest."
Dora might have something in Backpack they can use.
"Will you check Backpack for something we can use to keep dry?"
"You have to say "Backpack"!"
![[Notice how in this scene and for the third time, Dora doesn't turn herself around to show her Backpack like she usually does.]](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2024-08-12-17h32m28s500.png "Vlcsnap-2024-08-12-17h32m28s500.png (199 KB)")
[Notice how in this scene and for the third time, Dora doesn't turn herself around to show her Backpack like she usually does.]
Say "Backpack", say "Backpack!"
Come on, say it loud!
"Hola!" says Backpack. "Dora needs something she can use to keep dry, so Daisy's present doesn't get wet!"
Can el libro (a book) keep you dry?
Oops, that's silly!
Can el paraguas (some umbrellas) keep you dry?
(It opens up) ¡Si! El paraguas can keep you dry! Good thinking!
Here it comes!
Got it!
Now the present won't be ruined!
"Come on! We've got to get through the rainforest to get to Daisy's party!"
"So we can give Daisy her present!"
Let's go!
"¡HOLA!"
WHO said that?! This is realer than expected in the book!
WHO said that?! This is realer than expected in the book!
Look!
"It's my cousin Diego and Baby Jaguar!"
"¡Hola, primo! (Hi, cousin!)"
Dora explains to Diego that she and Boots are on their way to his sister’s fiesta de quinceañera.
"¡Nosotros también!" ("Us, too!")
"We can go TOGETHER!"
"And mambo through the rainforest!"
"Yeah, let's go!"
(Baby Jaguar meows "We don't wanna be late!")
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
Let's all dance the mambo!
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
"Look! There's a hummingbird!"
(hums and flaps)
"And a tapir!"
(whistles)
"And a sloth!"
It's the Sleepy Sloth!
What else?
"And a camel!"
HUH?! A camel in the rainforest?! THAT's not in the book!
(music stops abruptly)
WAIT A MINUTE!
Diego has never seen a camel in the rainforest.
So he consults his field journal.
Look! Does a camel live where it's rainy, or where it's sunny?
Right! A camel lives where it's sunny.
So that camel does not belong in the rainforest.
THAT'S NO CAMEL!
Who’s inside that camel suit? (A familiar orange tail just popped out!)
Hey, that camel made a familiar "zoop" noise...
Look! Even that zipper proves that it's not a camel and just a disguise.
"SWIPER!!!" they yelled! (NO! NOT YOU AGAIN!!!)
Baby Jaguar is surprised!
Swiper's gonna try and swipe Daisy’s present (again)!
(This time, Dora has time to ask for help. This is our chance to exact revenge after our failure at the barn!) Quick! We have to say,...
“Swiper, no swiping!”
”Say it with me!” she said.
Swiper, no swiping!
Swiper, no swiping!
Swiper, NO swiping!
"Oh,
(snaps fingers)
(snaps fingers)
maaaan!" said Swiper.
He goes away once again.
Swiper's had enough for now!
Thanks for helping them stop Swiper!
Let's go!
They made it!
There's the Fiesta Trio!
(Different music plays fanfare)
YAY! (Diego doesn't need his coat anymore)
We also don’t need that umbrella anymore!
"Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum! ¡Delicioso!"
We made it through the rainforest without getting Daisy's present wet!
(meows "Where do we go next, Dora?")
"We have to figure out where to go next!"
"You have to say 'Map'!"
Here he is!
ZOOM (once again)! What is he going to tell them this time?
We're almost there! We went past the barn (check!) and through the rainforest (check!)…where do we go next?
Daisy's party, right! So you tell Dora, next we go to Daisy's party!
"Where do we go next?" she asks.
Go ahead and tell her!
Go ahead and tell her!
Daisy's Party, right! Daisy's special party!
So we need to find Daisy's party.
"Where's the party?
WHERE'S the party?!"
¿Dónde está la fiesta de Daisy?
(Where is Daisy's Party?)
(Where is Daisy's Party?)
¡Si, allí es!
(bells ringing)
"Listen, the bells are ringing!" (That must mean...)
"It's time for Daisy's party!"
"And she CAN'T start the party WITHOUT us!"
"We need to get there quick!" But how?
Just then, they see some shadows of something flying.
"What was that?" they thought to themselves.
Diego has an idea: the giant condor birds can fly them to the party quick.
He calls to them. "Squawk, squawk!"
(condors squawking)
Diego asks them for help by squawking to them.
(They nod)
It's a yes!
It's a yes!
Diego tells them that the condors will fly them over to Daisy's party.
"COOL!" said Boots.
Hop on!
Dora and Boots get to ride one condor, while Diego and Baby Jaguar ride on the other.
Up they go!
There's the party downtown. "Look, there are balloons, presents,
and a GIANT birthday cake!" said Boots.
Dora sees her cousin Daisy!
They made it!
The Fiesta Trio welcomes them to the party.
They're riding balloons and wearing fancy clothes.
They rush into where Daisy is.
There she is with her friends and family.
Dora gets her attention. "Daisy, we made it!"
"Happy birthday, Daisy!" she said as she gives her a birthday hug.
"¡Gracias, Dora! I'm so glad you made it!"
And just make sure, she asks something important. "Do you have the special crown and shoes for my fiesta de quinceañera?"
Yes, indeed!
"¡Si!"
TAH-DAH!
It's all there!
(Daisy gasps)
"Oh, these are beautiful!"
"Now we can start the party!" (But first, Dora and Boots need to get THEIR fancy party clothes on, too!)
The Fiesta Trio play a special fanfare on the table while Dora and Boots changed into fancy clothes offscreen.
Oh, good! Dora and Boots got their fancy clothes. Now they can deliver the gifts.
Time for the ceremony to begin!
Dora brings the crown and shoes to Tia and Tio.
Daisy's mother puts the crown on.
Her father puts her shoes on.
Time for the special walk!
Tio leads Daisy down the aisle
and they dance.
Now Daisy looks all grown up!
And she's so beautiful!
Let's all clap for Daisy!
Clap for Daisy!
HOORAY FOR DAISY!!!
She feels so honored!
"Now it's time to dance the Mambo!" announced Daisy. Oh, here comes the big moment!
Hit it!
The Fiesta Trio start the song.
"Are you ready to lead the Mambo?"
They sure are!
"You have to stand up to dance!"
"Stand up, please!"
"Up, up, up! Stand up!", Daisy said.
"Dance with us!"
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
Let's all dance the Mambo!
Mambo, Mambo, Mambo, Mambo! Mambo, Mambo, Mambo!
"Now do what we do!"
Now, march in place! March in place! March in place! March in place!
And wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips! Wiggle your hips!
Put your hands in front of you and...
Circle your hands! Circle your hands! Circle your hands! Circle your hands!
"You're doing the Mambo!"
(music concludes)
Fireworks!
"You're REALLY good at dancing!"
"Thanks for making my fiesta de quinceañera EXTRA special!"
"¡Feliz cumpleaños!" they both said as they give her a birthday hug.
And look!
Fiesta Trio riding on balloons.
Up they go!
Yay! We did it!
Let's dance (some more)!
