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. Eventually, they succeed in bringing back all the bracelets, and a big celebration takes place with glowing bracelets lighting up the sky. The episode ends with everyone being friends forever.

Plot

The episode starts with Dora and Boots at a party to celebrate Friendship Day, a special time of year where everyone from around the world wears friendship bracelets. Boots really wants to see the bracelets, and Dora asks the viewer if he/she wants to. When he/she says "Yes", Dora and Boots go and see the bracelets. Then the friendship day song happens, and while they sing, Benny, Isa, and Tico arrive. After the song finishes, Dora mentions that when everyone wears the bracelets, they will glow and light up the sky. Suddenly, Swiper comes to swipe the bracelets. Isa mentions that everyone has to stop him, but they are too late anyway. However, Dora stops Swiper herself by telling him that they are friendship bracelets, and she even has one for him. Swiper then tells Dora that he has flown his Swiper-copter all around the world swiping bracelets, not knowing they were friendship bracelets. He regrets what he has done. Boots is appalled by this realization, and then Dora's friends from around the world, known as Amelie, who is from France, N'Dari, who is from Tanzania, Vladimir, who is from Russia and Mei, who is from China, call Dora for help. There are no bracelets in any of those countries and the entire world soon declared war and not being friends forever! Swiper tries to rev up his Swiper-copter to return the bracelets, but it suddenly breaks down. Swiper gives up, but Dora tells him that they have to bring back the bracelets and that they can do it together as frenemies! Everyone else cheers, and then Dora checks the Map on where to go to bring back the bracelets. First, they must go to the Eiffel Tower in France, then Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, then the Winter Palace in Russia, and then to 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, and it is seen on the other side of the ocean. Then a ship came and stopped at the dock for them. Dora asks Boots to stay and be in charge, and away she and Swiper go! They sing the Travel Song, and then they look for land. Land appeared, and then they and the viewer said, "Land, Ho!" They exit the ship and Dora changes into France clothes. They sing "Hello" to everyone, but in French, which is "Bonjour". Dora bumps into Amelie, and then they greet each other by kissing. Amelie tells Dora that there are no friendship bracelets. Swiper happens to have them, but then a 2nd "Swiper", known as Fifi the Skunk, makes a whisking sound, making Amelie tell everyone that the sneaky skunk is always trying to swipe their stuff. Dora asks the viewer if he/she sees the skunk, and there she is on the flower bed. Everyone runs away, and then the path splits two ways. There happens to be a smiling Gargoyle to help them. He tells them to use the diamond-stone path. They were on the second street. They go that way and then the path splits again, but in three different ways. Another Gargoyle tells them that a circle-stone path leads to the Eiffel Tower. They were on the third street. They go down that street and end up at the Eiffel Tower. Swiper gives back the bracelets, and here comes Fifi again. She was one step away from swiping the bracelets. Dora told the viewers that they have to say, "Fifi, no swiping" to stop her. Everyone said, "Fifi, no swiping!" three times, and then she said, "Alors, zut!" as her "Oh man!" After Fifi was successfully stopped, Dora, Swiper, and Amelie gave back the friendship bracelets and the Fiesta Trio played their fanfare. Suddenly, Boots called, and there he was on a TV. He mentioned that more friends showed up at the party, such as the Grumpy Old Troll. He cannot wait to get a bracelet. Boots also mentioned that the bracelets are slowly starting to glow, and they have to hurry. Swiper then asks where they go next, and then Dora asks the viewers, and the answer is Mount Kilimanjaro. Amelie mentioned that the mountain was very far away, and then Dora asked if something was there to give them a ride. Luckily, there was a motor scooter for them to ride to Tanzania. Amelie gives them helmets, gives Dora one more kiss, thanks her for bringing back the friendship bracelets, wishes Swiper good luck, and off they go to Tanzania! The Travel Song is heard once more. When they get off the motor scooter, Swiper notices the mountain, which means they arrived in Tanzania! Dora changes into Tanzania clothes, and then sings "Jambo" to everyone, which is the Tanzanian way of saying "Hello". N'Dari later calls for Dora, and then she notices him. He mentions that the kids are at Mountain with no bracelets. Luckily, Swiper has them to return. They ride an elephant to get to the mountain, and N'Dari warns them about the wild animals. They notice one zebra, two lions, three giraffes, four hippos, and five elephants. When they counted the elephants, N'Dari told Dora that she had forgotten the elephant that they were riding. That means there are six elephants altogether. After that, they arrive at Mount Kilimanjaro, and when Swiper pours some bracelets into the box, a 3rd "Swiper" known as Sammy the Hyena makes a whisking sound, and then N'Dari wants them that the sneaky hyena is always trying to swipe their stuff. When Sammy is noticed, Dora tells the viewers that they have to say, "Sammy no swiping". Everyone says, "Sammy, no swiping!" three times, and then Sammy says "Eee!" as his "Oh man!". After that, all the bracelets were returned, followed by the Fiesta Trio playing their fanfare. Suddenly, Boots calls again, and then he appears on another TV. He tells them that the Big Red Chicken came. Diego, Benny, and Baby Jaguar were also seen, but their names weren't mentioned. The Big Red Chicken told them that lots of their friends arrived. Boots then tells them that the bracelets are starting to glow, and they have to save Friendship Day. Swiper asks Dora where they go next, and then Dora does the same thing to the viewers, and the answer is the Winter Palace in Russia. Dora asks the viewers if they see the Winter Palace, and it is very far away. There was a hot air balloon for them to ride. N'Dari thanks Dora and Swiper for bringing back the bracelets, and off they go to Russia. Dora and Swiper then arrive in Russia. Swiper tells Dora that he sees the Palace, which means they made it to Russia. Dora had to dress warmly since it was cold in Russia. Dora sings "Previet" to everyone, which is Russian for "Hello". After they finished, they walked through deep snow, and it was hard to do that. Dora looks in her Backpack for something to help them get over the snow fast. Backpack asks if flashlights can get them over the snow fast, and that was a silly answer. She then asked if skis could get them over the snow fast, and that was the correct answer. Dora had the viewers say "Swush" three times to help them ski. That was then repeated another three times. They made it to the gate, but then a Purple Troll, who is Russia's Grumpy Old Troll, forbids them to enter. "NYET!", the troll yells, which is Russian for "NO!". Swiper thinks they'll never be able to give back the friendship bracelets, and then Vladimir comes on his skis and says Previet to Dora. She then introduces Swiper, and then Swiper tells him that the troll won't open the gate. Vladimir tells him and Dora that the Troll is very cranky, but luckily, he knows how to get him to open the gate. They must make him laugh by making silly faces like how Dora and Boots made the Yellow Grumpy Old Troll laugh in The Super Silly Fiesta. They all make silly faces, and then the troll laughs so hard that he now opens the gate. Swiper puts some bracelets in, followed by a whisking sound from a 4th "Swiper", known as Fomkah the Dancing Bear. Vladimir mentions that Fomkah is always trying to swipe their stuff. Dora asks if the viewers see the bear, and he is under a snowman outfit that has a zipper. Dora tells everyone that they have to say "Fomkah, no swiping!". Everyone says, "Fomkah, no swiping!" three times, and then Fomkah says "Oy!" as his "Oh man!". The Fiesta Trio then plays their fanfare, and then everyone gets their bracelets. Boots calls Dora again, and there he is on the TV. Even more friends showed up, such as Pinto and Baby Blue Bird. The bracelets started to glow even more. Boots told Dora to hurry. Swiper asks Dora where they go next, and then Dora asks the viewers the same question, and the answer is the Great Wall of China. Dora asks the viewers if they see the wall, and Swiper mentions that it is far away. Luckily, there was a train to get them there fast. After Dora and Swiper get on the train, Vladimir thanks Dora for her help. Dora then changed into her China clothes and then they made it to China. Dora and Swiper sing "Ni Hao" to everyone in China, which is Chinese for "Hello". After the song ends, the train stops near the Great Wall, and then Dora and Swiper get off. Swiper mentions that the wall is great and big, and then Dora says that their friends are on the other side. Swiper tries to climb up, fails, and then tries to give up, and Dora stops him. After that, Mei came and said that she had been looking for her since they didn't have any friendship bracelets. Swiper said that he had the friendship bracelets, but they had to go over the Great Wall to bring them back. Mei tells them that they have to super-jump. She calls three other people over, and they all super-jump together. They made it to the other side, and then Swiper brought back the bracelets. Everyone in China gets their bracelets, and then a 5th and final "Swiper", known as Ying-Ying the Weasel makes a whisking sound. Mei mentions that the weasel is always trying to swipe their stuff. Dora asks the viewers if they see a weasel, and there he is under the dragon. Dora tells the viewers that they have to stop him by saying "Ying-Ying no swiping!". Everyone says, "Ying-Ying no swiping!" three times, and then he says, "Tian Nah!", which was his "Oh man!". The Fiesta Trio then plays their fanfare. Dora and Swiper have successfully brought back all the friendship bracelets and they also successfully defeat the legion of evil international Swipers, making Swiper hope that they'll glow, Dora says that they should, which means they have to return home. Luckily, there was a plane to get them home fast. Dora hugs Mei goodbye, Mei thanks her, and home Dora and Swiper go! After the plane arrives home, Dora wears a beautiful dress and Swiper wears a blue bowtie to wear to their Friendship Day party everyone is happy to see them back home, especially Boots. Boots gives Dora a Friendship Day bracelet, but then Swiper asks if there is a Friendship bracelet for him. Luckily, there was one. Swiper loves it! There was one more bracelet, and it was for the viewer. After giving the viewer their bracelet, the bracelets began glowing completely meaning everyone has their bracelets on; Dora then tells the viewer to hold his/her hand high in the air, and then wave his/her friendship bracelet. As everyone waved, big rainbows shined and lit up the sky as well as fireworks! Now, everyone will be friends forever and ever as Swiper and Dora have now proven themselves the true World Rescuer Champions! And that was how Dora and Swiper saved Friendship Day for showing the world that everybody can change.

  • 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.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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.
• This is the 92^nd overall episode aired on TV (or 98th due to VHS/DVD).
• 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, 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.

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 to 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 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, Leon 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 the Map song, 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, 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 didn’t 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.

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.
