Summary[]
In this episode of Dora, the Explorer, Dora and Boots celebrate Friendship Day, where people from around the world wear friendship bracelets. Swiper attempts to swipe the bracelets, not realizing they are friendship bracelets. Dora convinces Swiper to help return the bracelets to their international friends. With the help of the viewer, they travel to 4 different countries, which are France, Tanzania, Russia, and China, returning the bracelets and overcoming obstacles from other "Swipers" in each location. Every country has a different ugly wicked "Swiper" creature.
Plot[]
The episode starts with Dora and Boots at a party celebrating Friendship Day, a special time of year when people all around the world have parties and wear special friendship bracelets. Boots is excited to see the bracelets, and Dora asks the viewer if they want to see them too. When the viewer says yes, Dora and Boots go to see the bracelets. The Friendship Day song plays, and while they sing, Benny, Isa, and Tico arrive. After the song, Dora explains that when everyone wears the bracelets, they'll illuminate, and rainbow sparkles will light up the sky. Suddenly, Swiper arrives to swipe the bracelets. Isa says they have to stop him, but they're too late. However, Dora stops Swiper by telling him they are friendship bracelets and explains that they can't have Friendship Day without them and says that she even has a bracelet for him. Swiper explains that he flew his Swiper-copter all around the world swiping bracelets, not realizing what they were, and he regrets his actions. Boots is shocked by this, and then Dora's friends from around the world—Amelie from France, N'Dari from Tanzania, Vladimir from Russia, and Mei from China—call Dora and her friends for help. There are no bracelets in any of those countries, and Friendship Day will soon be ruined! The bracelets won't glow until everyone has one. Swiper tries to start his Swiper-copter to return the bracelets, but it breaks down. Swiper gives up, but Dora tells him they have to bring back the bracelets together, as a team! Everyone cheers, and Dora checks the Map to see where to go. First, they must go to the Eiffel Tower in France, then Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, then the Winter Palace in Russia, and then the Great Wall of China. Dora asks the viewer where they go first, and the answer is the Eiffel Tower. Dora and Swiper look for the Eiffel Tower, which is across the ocean. A ship arrives at the dock for them. Dora asks Boots to stay in charge while she and Swiper go. They sail across the ocean. When they see land, they shout, "Land ho!" They exit the ship, and Dora changes into French clothes from behind a fountain. They sing "Bonjour" to everyone. Dora meets Amelie, and they greet each other with a kiss. Amelie tells Dora there are no friendship bracelets. Swiper has them, but then Fifi the Skunk makes a whisking sound and Amelie alerts them that she's a sneaky skunk who's always trying to swipe their stuff and Swiper fears that she'll try to swipe the friendship bracelets. Dora asks the viewer if they see the skunk, who is hiding in the flower bed. Everyone runs away, and the path splits. A smiling Gargoyle tells them to take the diamond-stone path. They take that path, and it splits again, this time three ways. Another Gargoyle tells them the circle-stone path leads to the Eiffel Tower. They take that path and arrive at the Eiffel Tower. Swiper returns the bracelets, but Fifi whisks again, trying to swipe them. Dora tells the viewer to say, "Fifi, no swiping!" Everyone says it three times, and Fifi says, "Alors, zut!" Dora, Swiper, and Amelie pass out the friendship bracelets to all the kids, and the Fiesta Trio plays their fanfare. Boots calls on a TV screen, mentioning that more friends, including the Grumpy Old Troll, have arrived at the party and are waiting for bracelets. He adds that the bracelets are starting to glow, and they have to hurry. Swiper asks where they go next, and Dora asks the viewer. The answer is Mount Kilimanjaro. Amelie says the mountain is far away, but Dora asks if there's a way to get there. A motor scooter appears. Amelie gives them helmets, kisses Dora goodbye, thanks her, wishes Swiper good luck, and they leave for Tanzania! They arrive in Tanzania. Dora changes into Tanzanian clothes and sings "Jambo" to everyone. N'Dari calls for Dora. He says the children are at the mountain with no bracelets. Swiper has them. N'Dari says they must go through the animal park to reach the mountain quickly. Dora and Swiper ride N'Dari's elephant. They see one zebra, two lions, three giraffes, four hippos, and five elephants. N'Dari reminds Dora that they are riding an elephant, making six elephants. They arrive at Mount Kilimanjaro. Swiper returns the bracelets, and then Sammy the Hyena tries to swipe them. N'Dari warns them about the hyena. Dora tells the viewer to say, "Sammy, no swiping!" Everyone says it three times, and Sammy says, "Eee!" All the bracelets are returned, and the Fiesta Trio plays. Boots calls again on a TV screen. He says the Big Red Chicken, Diego, and Baby Jaguar have arrived. The Big Red Chicken says many friends have come. Boots says the bracelets are glowing more, and they have to save Friendship Day. Swiper asks where they go next, and Dora asks the viewer. The answer is the Winter Palace in Russia. Dora asks if they see the Winter Palace, and it's far away. A hot air balloon appears. N'Dari thanks Dora and Swiper, and they leave for Russia. They arrive in Russia. Swiper sees the Palace. Dora dresses warmly. She sings "Previet" to everyone. They walk through deep snow. Dora looks in her Backpack for help. Backpack asks if flashlights will help, then suggests skis, which is the correct answer. Dora has the viewer say "Swush" three times, then repeats it. They reach the gate, but a Purple Troll, the Russian Grumpy Old Troll, refuses to let them pass, yelling "NYET!" Swiper despairs, but Vladimir arrives on skis and greets Dora. She introduces Swiper, who explains the troll won't open the gate. Vladimir says the troll is cranky but he knows how to make him laugh: by making silly faces. They make silly faces, and the troll laughs, opening the gate. Swiper returns the bracelets, and thinks there is nobody trying to swipe them, but a whisking sound by Fomkah the Dancing Bear proves him wrong. Vladimir warns them about Fomkah. Dora asks if the viewer sees the bear, who is hiding in a snowman costume. Dora tells everyone to say, "Fomkah, no swiping!" They say it three times, and Fomkah says, "Oy!" The Fiesta Trio plays, and everyone gets bracelets. Boots calls again. More friends have arrived, including Pinto and Baby Blue Bird. The bracelets are glowing even more. Boots tells Dora to hurry. Swiper asks where they go next, and Dora asks the viewer. The answer is the Great Wall of China. Dora asks if they see the wall, and Swiper says it's far away. A train arrives. Vladimir thanks Dora, and they leave for China. Dora changes into Chinese clothes. They arrive in China and sing "Ni Hao" to everyone. The train stops near the Great Wall, and they get off. Swiper says the wall is great and big, and Dora says their friends are on the other side. Swiper tries to climb the wall but fails. Mei arrives, saying she's been looking for them because they have no bracelets. Swiper says he has them, but they must go over the Great Wall. Mei says they have to super-jump and calls three others. They super-jump over the wall. Swiper returns the bracelets. Everyone in China gets their bracelets, and then Ying-Ying the Weasel tries to swipe them. Mei warns them about the weasel. Dora asks if the viewer sees the weasel, who is under a dragon costume. Dora tells everyone to say, "Ying-Ying, no swiping!" They say it three times, and Ying-Ying says, "Tian Nah!" The Fiesta Trio plays. Dora and Swiper have returned all the bracelets and defeated the international Swipers. Swiper hopes they'll glow. Dora says they should, meaning they must return home. A plane arrives. Dora hugs Mei goodbye, and they return home. Dora wears a dress, and Swiper wears a bowtie for the Friendship Day party. Everyone is happy to see them. Boots gives Dora a bracelet. Swiper asks for one, and he gets one. There's one more for the viewer. The bracelets glow completely. Dora tells the viewer to hold their hand up and wave their bracelet. Rainbows and fireworks light up the sky. Everyone will be friends forever, and Swiper and Dora have proven themselves true World Adventurers, showing that everyone can change.

Trivia[]
- This is the second episode to use the Season 5/Go, Diego, Go! art style; first being Dora's Dance to the Rescue. It will be used again in Dora Saves the Mermaids.
- The graphics have been changed in this episode, like the background and Dora having smaller eyes. All of these things have been used in Go, Diego, Go!, as well as Season 5.
- The mature voices Dora and Boots had in Dora's Dance to the Rescue was also heard in this episode. They will be heard again in Dora Saves the Mermaids.
- Dora, Map, and Backpack's Season 5 looks have been debuted in this episode.
- Going by production order, this would be the spectacular 100th episode of the show.
- This is one of the few times where kissing is involved. Dora and Amelie kissed each other's cheeks twice. However, most French people greet each other with a cheek kiss in reality.
- This was the last Dora the Explorer episode to be released onto VHS.
- This is the last episode (in production order) where Isa was voiced by her original actress Ashley Fleming. She will be voiced by Lenique Vincent in Seasons 5 and 6.
- This is the last episode where Dora says, "You have to stand up" prior to a "stand up" activity (which requires strong use of the legs and feet, such as jumping); beginning with the next episode featuring such, she either does not say it, or says a variant like "We (all) have to stand up".
- This is the first double-length episode where Dora wears different outfits throughout the adventure instead of just at the end.
- Boots wears the same bowtie from Dora's Dance to the Rescue.
- The picture pop-up sequence makes a complete return in this episode in production order, but the red checkmarks were not used.
- In airing order, the official permanent return of the picture pop-up sequence however wasn't until Dora Saves the Mermaids.
- Thus, this is the last episode in production order where Dora does not put red checkmarks on the squares.
- This is both the first double-length episode and also the first episode in general where four pictures pop up one at a time. The last picture that popped up had a tone pitch increase of 15.
- This is the only time the picture pop-up sequence appears without Map's zoom wipe.
- In production order, this is the last episode where Map does not zoom wipe at all.
- This is one of few episodes where the fourth wall is broken. The last friendship bracelet in the box is for the viewer.
- Tico speaks English many times in this episode.
- Swiper helps Dora out willingly in this episode.
- This is the second double-length episode where Boots does not go with Dora and where the Fiesta Trio played their original fanfare four times. The first episode in which this has happened is "Dora's Fairytale Adventure".
- This is also the 18th episode in which Dora returns to where she has started after reaching the final place on the map, something that occurred in "Three Little Piggies", "Berry Hunt", "The Chocolate Tree", "El Día De Las Madres", "Click!", "A Present For Santa", "School Pet", "Save the Puppies!", "What Happens Next?", "Journey to the Purple Planet", "Dora's Pirate Adventure", "Boots' Cuddly Dinosaur", "Dora's Fairytale Adventure", "Star Mountain", "Super Babies" and "A Crown for King Juan el Bobo".
- Just like "Dora's Dance to the Rescue", this episode was produced the same year that this episode premiered in which was 2006.
- This is the first appearance of Amelie, Dora's friend from France. Amelie will appear later again in "Bouncy Boots" and make a cameo in "Halloween Parade".
- This is also the first appearance of Mei, Dora's friend from China. She will appear again later in "Isa's Unicorn Flowers" and makes cameo appearances in "Pirate Treasure Hunt", "Halloween Parade", "Feliz Dia De Los Padres", and "Dora's Thanksgiving Day Parade".
- The Fiesta Trio plays their original fanfare tune every time Dora and Swiper complete the task on returning the friendship bracelets.
- Also, it is unknown how they got to France, Tanzania, Russia, and China.
- And on a side note, in Russia while sledding, the frog is playing his horn.
- In Russia, Swiper doesn't wear a winter outfit like Dora mainly due to his warm fur.
- This is the third episode to use the extended version of We Did It, the other two are Dora's Pirate Adventure and Dora's Dance to the Rescue.
- Additionally, the version that was recorded for this episode will be used again in Dora Saves the Mermaids, only with Swiper's voice being removed.
- The audio of Map saying, "We did it!" after Backpack sings "Lo hicimos!" was reused throughout Season 5.
- This is the fourth episode where Dora doesn't wear Backpack with her final outfit after Dora's Fairytale Adventure, Daisy, La Quinceañera and Dora's Dance to the Rescue.
- Fifi the Skunk in France, Sammy the Hyena in Tanzania, Fomkah the Dancing Bear in Russia, and Ying Ying the Weasel in China always tries to swipe things like Swiper, and all wear the same mask and gloves as Swiper.
- Not only Fifi the Skunk, Sammy the Hyena, Fomkah the Bear, and Ying Ying the Weasel appear right away to swipe everyone's stuff, they also make the same whisking sound Swiper does.
- Everyone says the character's name followed by "no swiping!" three times to stop them, and they all say "Oh, man!" in their own ways. ("Alors, zut!" for Fifi, "Eee!" for Sammy, "Oy!" for Fomkah, and "Tian Nah!" for Ying Ying).
- If Fifi, Sammy, Fomkah, and Ying Ying were to successfully swipe the friendship bracelets, they would say "You're too late! You'll never find [them/[the/your/those] (friendship) bracelets] now!" in their own ways.
- There is a Russian Cranky Troll who’s the Grumpy Old Troll of Russia, except he’s purple.
- This is the first time the Travel Song (but with different instrumentals) features four places to go instead of three. It is also the second episode in which Swiper sings it with Dora. Also, the answer to the question "Where are we going?" is "Around the world". The fourth "Where are we going?" is asked in Spanish.
- The instances of Dora saying, "Where are we going?" have been re-recorded.
- The Swiper of Tanzania is listed as "Sammy" in the closed captions; however, in the book based on the episode, it was given as "Sami".
- When Dora says "Great!" after asking the viewer to help return the friendship bracelets, the audio was taken from El Coquí.
- During the Travel Song, the Fiesta Trio don't jump out to say where they're going.
- Isa mentions that everyone has got to stop Swiper from swiping the bracelets, but they are too late anyway.
- Dora travels without Boots in this episode as he does not travel with her because she tells him to stay behind looking after everything by being in charge while she is gone, so Swiper travels with Dora instead.
- This is the first instance where Swiper travels with Dora in Boots' place. It will happen again in Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure.
- This is the last episode to find Swiper in production order.
- As soon as Dora goes behind something in the various countries, her old clothes magically disappear and change immediately into cultural appropriate clothing.
- Swiper wears a blue bowtie to the Friendship Day Party when he and Dora return home.
- When Dora and Swiper put on their helmets to ride the scooter to Tanzania, they do not say "Helmets, so we can be safe."
- During the Travel Song sung for a second time, Swiper is the only one clapping after he and/or Dora ask "Where are we going?", because Dora is holding onto the handlebars of the scooter to steer it and if she took her hands off the handlebars to clap as well, the scooter would most likely not drive in the right direction. However, she does take one hand off at many parts of the song.
- This is not only the Grumpy Old Troll's 14th appearance but also the second instance in which he appears away from his bridge (excluding any of his characters find segments). This previously occurred in The Happy Old Troll.
- When each of the animals makes the same whisking sound as Swiper, everyone says the same line "that sneaky (animal) is always trying to swipe our stuff" which is exactly what Boots always says whenever he's traveling with Dora.
- Fifi the Skunk has the same first name as Fifi La Fume from the 1990 cartoon Tiny Toons. Coincidentally, they are both female skunks and they speak with French accents.
- There is an actual event called Friendship Day in real life, which normally occurs from late July to early August.
- Despite this, it is snowing in Russia at the time; snow normally occurs in Russia between October to April, placing the episode some time in early spring because Dora and her friends were not wearing winter clothes at home and the trees are full.

- Señor Tucan (he's likely busy)
- Señor Burro (he's likely busy)
- The Explorer Stars (since this episode was produced after Dora's Fairytale Adventure, which was their last appearance in production order (although in airing order, it would be Super Spies 2: The Swiping Machine as their final appearance). However, if they were to show up, it would most likely be every single one that appeared so far including the ordinary colored ones.)

- This is the 92nd overall episode aired on TV.
- This episode premiered on Nick instead of Nick Jr.
- This is the first primetime special since The Super Silly Fiesta! in April 2004.
- This is the last episode to premiere in 2006.
- Although Swiper is on his bad side when he is first shown in the episode, he then changes to his good side while helping Dora returned the bracelets.
- However, Fifi, Sammy, Fomkah, and Ying-Ying later take his place as the antagonists.
- There are many greetings for Hello as told in this episode:
- "Bonjour" means Hello in French.
- "Jambo" means Hello in Swahili.
- "Previet" means Hello in Russian.
- "Ni Hao" means Hello in Mandarin Chinese.
- Unlike competitor show, Ni Hao, Kai-Lan, which all that time incorrectly referred to the language as Chinese, this episode of Dora the Explorer correctly refers to the language as Mandarin, short for Mandarin Chinese. In reality, there is another type of Chinese language, although less popular, called Cantonese.
- When this episode premiered on November 19, 2006, the screen bug changed during Part 2.
- Part 1 had the Nick Jr. Frogs screen bug and Part 2 had the Nick Jr. Bears screen bug.
- This episode premiered on Noggin on Thanksgiving 2006.
- This episode premiered the same day as the release of the Nintendo console game called Wii.
- Treehouse normally airs this episode during Valentine's Day.
- Señor Tucán did not appear at the party especially considering he only speaks Spanish and no other language, neither does Azul, the Explorer Stars or Diego's Rescue Pack.
- This is the second time where Swiper has a favorite part at the end of the episode after Dora's Dance to the Rescue. It will happen once more in Dora Saves the Three Little Pigs.
- Diego and Baby Jaguar have their Go, Diego, Go! designs in this episode, due to the episode using the animation style created specifically for that show.
- This is the first episode where Baby Jaguar talks in Dora the Explorer. If one looks closely, his mouth is moving when the cast all speak together.
- However, their voices are hard to hear in this episode because of everyone saying, "Forever and ever" and cheering. They were most likely voiced by Jake T. Austin and Thomas Sharkey, but it is unknown as they are unlisted in the credits.
- In the remastered version of this episode in the France scene in YouTube, the gargoyle's voice sounds deeper.
- In the YouTube version, it's just like La Maestra de Música with the intro missing, side pillars of Boots and a jungle, and a jump-cut to the Nick Jr. Productions logo without the fade-in.
- This episode in DVD premiere is celebrating the 1st anniversary of Linda the Llama Saves Carnival.
- The picture pop-up sequence does not follow Map's zoom wipe, this is the only time that this happens.
- The same episode title was used as a video game for the Gameboy Advance.
- This is one of three episodes not available on Paramount+, the other two being "Dora's Dance to the Rescue" and "Dora's Big Birthday Adventure".
Goofs/Errors[]
- The Nick Jr. Productions Puddle logo from 2005-2009 uses the 1999-2005 Nick Jr. Productions audio. This episode was produced in 2006, so it should've had the 2005-2009 audio. This also happened in Dora Saves the Mermaids. It did have the correct audio in Dora and Diego to the Rescue! and Dora's Dance to the Rescue.
- It's unknown how the Swiper-copter would be put back together after Swiper went off and swiped the world's Friendship Bracelets to Dora.
- After Dora puts on her France outfit, her flower bracelet disappears for the rest of the episode.
- Throughout the episode, in some scenes, the friendship bracelets change from dented rope-like shapes to completely round shapes.
- Dora changes her outfits very fast.
- In the closed captions, "Previet" is listed as "Afraidyet", which makes no sense at all.
- Fomkah the Bear makes the same whisking sound as the other animals do. In reality, bears are the only animals that don’t make whisking sounds.
- When Dora and Swiper reach China and have already jumped over the wall, Dora can be briefly seen in her regular outfit.
- When Dora gives a friendship bracelet to Swiper, she takes both Swiper's and the viewer's bracelets on Swiper, meaning the viewers would have no bracelet, but they become one bracelet once it’s out of the box. The very scene the remaining bracelet reappears is when Dora takes it out to give to the viewer.
- In real life, it is impossible to jump over the Great Wall of China because of how tall it is (however, it doesn't apply here due to cartoon logic).
- In the scene where Dora gives a friendship bracelet to the viewer, the flower in her hair is missing, then reappears in the next scene.
- When Dora and Swiper are coming off the plane, León can be seen wearing a top hat, but in every scene before and after, he is not wearing it.
- When Dora comes off the jet plane, her backpack disappears, then Backpack is found in the crowd.
- It's very likely that Backpack and Map came off separately from Dora and Swiper, most likely right behind them, which would indicate why they couldn't be seen.
- While everyone was saying "Forever and ever" and cheering, it looks like Diego's neck disappeared and his head is on his shoulders.
- During the end credits, Swiper's name is in the end credits, but it's credited as Swipers instead of Swiper.
- It's revealed that because Fifi, Sammy, Fomkah and Ying Ying are part of the Swipers along with Swiper, the end credits state that Marc Weiner voiced them all, along with Map and the Fiesta Trio.
- When Dora enters the airplane, she’s still in her China outfit. In one scene on the plane, she's in her casual outfit. In the next scene, she's back in her China outfit.
- During I'm the Map, the globe is spinning the wrong way. It is spinning clockwise, when in real life, the Earth spins counterclockwise.
- iTunes (under double-length episodes volume 2) lists this episode as "World Adventure". Both "Dora's" and the exclamation mark are left out.
- There are various inconsistencies when traveling around the world:
- It's the same day when traveling to the parts of the world when Dora and Swiper visit, when in real life, it should be at least dusk, nighttime or midnight (It’s six hours ahead in France, seven hours ahead in Tanzania and Russia, and twelve hours ahead in China).
- In real life, it's very impossible to travel around the world in just one day (although here it doesn't apply due to cartoon logic), it would actually take longer than that.
- Dora and Swiper travel to France by ship; in reality, it takes approximately 14 hours to get to France by boat.
- It takes about 9 hours to get from France to Tanzania, like how Dora and Swiper use a scooter to travel there.
- It also takes about 9 hours to get from Tanzania to Russia by air, like how Dora and Swiper fly there in hot air balloon.
- Dora and Swiper get to China from Russia by train, which in real life, would take about 5-6 days.
- Like the first, it takes at least 14 hours to fly from China back home; in addition, there are currently no flights directly where Dora lives from China.
- In real life, "previet" is an informal Russian greeting used only with people close to you.
- It's unknown why Dora's family (Mami, Papi, Guillermo, Isabella), Abuela, Diego's family (his mother, his father, Alicia, her Rescue Rope (mostly as Alicia's Christmas gift while seeing Friendship Day party before her debut) and Daisy) and Mama Jaguar didn't show up at the Friendship Day party.
- Additionally, it's unknown why Boots, Benny, Isa and Tico's family, the Bobos' mother and Swiper's Grandma, didn't show up at the Friendship Day party.
- However, Swiper's Grandma will not debut until Swiper's Favorite Things, the Bobos' mother until The Bobo's Mother's Day and the Bobo Sisters until To Babysit a Bobo.
- Contrary to what Dora said, Russia is not always cold in real life. This episode most likely takes place in December, January, or February.
- The Great Wall of China is up high in the hills of China; in real life, there is no flat ground amongst the wall and the hills are too steep to walk across and too high for a train to reach, like when Dora and Swiper arrive at the wall and when they arrive at the Friendship Day party on the other side. The poster used for the box art, which shows Dora and Swiper standing on the Great Wall, depicts the wall with its proper design.
- Dora, Swiper and Vladimir had to get through a gate to reach the Winter Palace; the gate as seen in the episode looks nothing like the gate to the Winter Palace in real life.
- In this episode, the Eiffel Tower is depicted to be blue while in real life, it's brown.
- When Dora, Swiper, and their international friends stop Fifi, Sammy, Fomkah, and Ying-Ying from swiping the friendship bracelets, they say "no swiping" in English when they should have said it in French, Swahili, Russian, and Mandarin, respectively.
- In French, they should have said "Fifi, arret du chippe".
- In Swahili, they should have said "Sammy, haitachukua". (This could be an exception, though, because English is one of Tanzania's official languages, although it is not as prevalently spoken as Swahili. Therefore, this could be incorrectly regarded as a goof.)
- In Russian, they should have said "Fomkah, Нет жуличай (Fomkah, net zhulichay)".
- In Mandarin, they should have said "Ying-Ying, 無需刷卡 (Ying-Ying, wúxū shuākǎ)".
- Swiper would need a lot more bags for the friendship bracelets due to the population of each country. In real life, France has 68 million people, Tanzania has 62 million, Russia has 147 million, and China has 1.4 billion. Plus, the United States has 330 million people, so Swiper would need a lot more bags, and a bigger helicopter, to hold all of the friendship bracelets that he swiped.
Older Episode Reference[]
- The scene where Dora has to make silly faces to make the Russian Cranky Troll laugh and get the gate to open is a reference to The Super Silly Fiesta, in which Dora and Boots make silly faces to get the Grumpy Old Troll to laugh.
