Trivia[]

  • This is the 122nd episode of the show.
  • The term "hair raising" means extremely alarming or scary.
  • This is the only episode Boots has long hair.
  • In this episode, the Travel Song is replaced by the new song about going to see El Peluquero (Going to the Barber Shop).
  • Benny, Tico, Isa (despite their mention in the pictures), and Swiper (despite his mention in the credits) don't appear in this episode.
  • This is the second episode in which the Grumpy Old Troll goes over his own bridge, first being The Fix-it Machine.
  • In this episode, there is a female giant who has the same skin color as the Giant-Giant. In a previous episode, the Giant-Giant was revealed to have a baby brother, thus making it possible that they're all related to one another in some way.
  • This episode premiered on Nick Jr. the same day as Boots' First Bike.
  • Dora introduced herself the same way she did in the Season 1 episode Backpack! and the Season 2 episodes Pinto, the Pony Express and Quack! Quack! ("¡Hola! I'm Dora!").
  • Before Dora takes Boots’ picture, there was no time for another “Backpack” segment, so she just takes it out.

Goofs/Errors[]

  • When Dora and Boots are at the Troll Bridge, Boots' hair is normal, most likely because the producers forgot to make his hair long.
  • When Dora shows the viewer the picture in her room the picture, right after Benny is the blue frog from the Fiesta Trio and the frame is orange, but in the close up, it changes into Isa and the frame is pin. Later when Dora goes to get her camera, it changes back. Also, when Dora shows the picture Benny is missing his bandana and look more like a real bull and is not holding a strawberry ice cream cone and the frame is pink, but in the close up, it change into his normal look, and he has his bandana and is holding a strawberry ice cream cone and the frame is blue.
  • Boots’ pose is different from the photo.
  • When the photo comes out, Dora just holds it with her right hand, but in the next scene, both hands are holding the photo. Because of this, it is unknown where she put her camera after taking Boots’ picture.
