[We are now beginning the first episode that has a special birthday party event for the greatest surprise of the rainforest in history!]
"Hi, I'm Dora!"
Dora has a question for you: "Do you like parties?"
Feel free to tell your thoughts!
And speaking of parties...
"We're having a special party
"We're having a special party
for my friend, Boots the Monkey!"
(What is it?)
"It's his BIRTHDAY!"
"Now where is that little monkey?"
Do you see Boots? Where?!
"Boots!"
"Dora!"
Birthday hug!
Boots is excited for his birthday!
Dora has a special surprise.
Boots wants to know what it is! Can YOU guess what her surprise is?
A birthday party!
YAY! A birthday party!
Boots hopes that there are going to be balloons,
party hats,
goody bags, party games,
and of course… how about a birthday cake?
"Yes! It’s in my Backpack!"
Boots wants to see it.
I need your help. Will you open my backpack and get Boots' birthday cake? You have to say, "Backpack!"
Say, “Backpack!”
The cake is in a big square box. Can you find it?
Thanks for getting it! Take a look, Boots!
Oooh! Banana birthday cake, with banana icing!
And there’s a picture of Boots on it!
See? It has Boots' face on it!
He taste tests it! Mmmm! Looks yummy!
"OOH-OOH-AAH-AAH!" screamed Boots.
Feliz cumpleaños, Boots!
"Ooh, in Spanish!"
"Will you help me sing 'Feliz Cumpleaños' to Boots?"
"Great!"
"Great!"
Here's how it goes: "Feliz Cumpleaños, Feliz Cumpleaños!"
"Say, "Feliz"."
Try saying it!
"Good! Now say, "Cumpleaños"."
"Great! Say, "Feliz"!"
Say it again!
"Good! Now say, "Cumpleaños"!"
"Very good!"
"Now, sing!"
Feliz Cumpleaños, Feliz Cumpleaños! Feliz Cumpleaños, Feliz Cumpleaños!
(music ends)
"Very good!"
"Dora,
how do we get to my party?"
The party is at Dora's House but they have to hurry because everyone is waiting for him.
"What's the quickest way to your house?"
"Let's stop and think."
"Who do we ask for help
when we don't know which way to go?"
Do YOU know who? Take a guess!
"The Map, the Map!"
"The Map, that's right!"
I need your help to check the Map and find out the quickest way to my house! You have to say, "Map!"
Say "Map"! Say "Map"!
Say it!
There he is!
Louder!
Louder!
(MAP!!!)
Great job! (SPRIIIIING!!!) Let's see what he has to say…!
![[Map for the episode.] (NOTE: this image is edited.)](/wiki/File:Map_Season_1_Episode_13.png "Map Season 1 Episode 13.png (242 KB)")
[Map for the episode.]
(NOTE: this image is edited.)
(NOTE: this image is edited.)
Map is on the job! "Dora wants to know the quickest way to get to her house for Boots' birthday party! Well, I know the quickest way!"
First, you have to go uuuuup the stairs.
Then, you go over the Troll Bridge.
And that's how you get to the party at Dora's house!
So you tell Dora: Stairs, Bridge, Party House!
Hello again, Dora!
What's the quickest way to get to my house for the party?
Stairs, Bridge, Party House! First, we have to go up the stairs, then we go over the Troll Bridge, and that's how we'll get to the party at my house! Thanks for helping.
So first we have to go up the stairs.
Do you see the stairs? Where?
Come on, say it with us!
Stairs, Bridge, Party House! Stairs, Bridge, Party House! Stairs, Bridge, Party House! Stairs, Bridge, PARTY HOUSE!
![[Let's try something different!] Happy, Happy Birthday!](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2021-11-20-02h09m09s963.png "Vlcsnap-2021-11-20-02h09m09s963.png (4.75 MB)")
[Let's try something different!] Happy, Happy Birthday!
Happy, Happy Birthday!
Happy, Happy Birthday!
HAPPY, HAPPY, BIRTHDAY!
Will you say "Feliz Cumpleaños" with us?
Here we go!
¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Feliz Cumpleaños! ¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Feliz Cumpleaños!
Very good! ¡Muy bien!
Look! The stairs!
Watch your step, Boots.
"Look, Dora!"
"Ooh, the stairs!" they both say.
"Come on, Dora. We have to get to my party." (Suddenly...)
(clucking) What's making all that noise?
"Do you hear THAT?!"
"What animal does that sound like?"
Chickens?
"Yeah, sounds like chickens!"
YIKES!!!
"We'd better get out of the way!"
Run for it!
Cluck, cluck, cluck!
Down they go!
Here come the chickens again! (Even though we're out of their way already.)
Whoa, what's going on?
WHOA! That's a huge heap of feathers!
Dora and Boots' eyes are inside the feathers! That's funny.
Peekaboo!
Whoa, that was close.
Why are they leaving the feathers behind? Could someone clean them up, please?!
"Come on, Boots!"
Can we make it this time? (Suddenly...)
(whinnying) Wait, ANOTHER animal?!
What animal does THAT sound like? A horse?
"Dora, we better run!"
There it is! The horse!
AAAHHH!!!
Oh no! Boots left his cake box on the stairs by mistake!
See how high up it is?
"Oh no, my cake!"
"I left my cake on the stairs!"
See? It’s just lying there!
Uh-oh...
(Oh, boy!)
(Oh, boy!)
He's still coming down...
(No, no, no! Detente!! Espera, stop!!)
(No, no, no! Detente!! Espera, stop!!)
"Wait, wait, wait!"
"We have to tell the horse to wait before he steps on my cake!"
"That's Caballíto. He speaks Spanish, so..."
"...we have to say "¡espera!""
"Say "espera" with us!"
¡ESPERA!
¡¡ESPERA!!
¡¡¡ESPERA!!!
He screeches to a halt...
"¿Espera?"
"He waited! Yes!" exclaimed Boots.
"Thanks for saying "espera". You made Caballíto (the little horse) wait."
"The cake is okay!" (What a relief.)
"¡Lo siento! No sabia que su biscocho estaba en el escalon!"
(Crei que debes decir pastel, amigo mio.)
(Crei que debes decir pastel, amigo mio.)
Dora explains to Boots what the horse said. "Caballíto says he's sorry. He didn't know your cake was on the step."
Boots told Caballito it’s his (Boots') birthday. (Hoy es su cumpleaños.)
"Oh. ¡Feliz cumpleaños!" says Caballíto.
Thanks!
Ooh, almost there...
We made it at last! And look who’s up on the hill; it's the Fiesta Trio!
Where do we go next?
We went up the stairs, so now we have to get over...?
Do you see the Troll Bridge?
Come on, say it with us!
Good singing!
Uh-oh! That sounds like Swiper the Fox!
That sneaky fox is ALWAYS trying to swipe our stuff!
He'll try to swipe Boots' birthday cake! (What a party pooper!)
"MY CAKE! MY CAKE!!"
Help them look for Swiper.
Do you see him?
Where?
Where is he now?
Right behind us?!
"SWIPER, NO…!!"
"...swiping."
"You're TOO LATE!"
There goes that cake!
"You'll NEVER find it NOW!"
(snickering): "HA-HA-HA-HA!"
(YOU SHALL NOT GET AWAY WITH IT, YOU PARTY POOPER!)
(YOU SHALL NOT GET AWAY WITH IT, YOU PARTY POOPER!)
"My cake!" cried Boots.
Don’t worry, Boots! We can find it!
There are so many places it could be!
What shape is the cake box?
Square, right! And what color is it?
Yellow, right again! So let's find yellow squares.
Can you find Boots' cake box? (Note: The background looks very identical to Benny's Character Find.)
Thanks for finding the cake. Now let's keep going.
There’s the Troll Bridge!
Who's sneaking up on them now?
(Dora, Boots meet the official debut of Mr. Troll after his character find segment in Beaches!)
"It's the Grumpy Old Troll!"
I'm the Grumpy Old Troll who lives under the bridge!
.png "The Grumpy Old Troll's Riddle 0-20 screenshot (1).png (213 KB)")
HEY!
I'm the Grumpy Old Troll who lives under the bridge!
.png "The Grumpy Old Troll's Riddle 0-24 screenshot (1).png (208 KB)")
.png "The Grumpy Old Troll's Riddle 0-26 screenshot (1).png (213 KB)")
WHO'S THERE?
If you wanna come over,
all you have to do is this...
All ya have to do is thiiiis!
Solve my riddle!
(song ends)
(song ends)
"NO ONE gets over my bridge!"
Boots yells at him, "But we HAVE TO go over your bridge! It's my birthday! I have to get to my party!"
The Grumpy Old Troll seriously doesn't care! "NO ONE gets over MY bridge unless they solve my riddle!" he said.
And here's their first riddle:
"I have a riddle,
and you CAN'T be wrong.
Do you know the Spanish 'Happy Birthday' song?"
You hear that? We have to solve the Troll's riddle.
Help Dora solve the riddle!
The riddle goes like this: "I have a riddle and you can't be wrong. Do you know the Spanish "Happy Birthday" song?" What's the Spanish "Happy Birthday" song?
"Feliz Cumpleaños"!
Right!
They sing the Feliz Cumpleaños song again!
The troll actually LOVES that song!
¡Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños!
The troll now has the song in his head! "Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños!"
All right! You solved my riddle!
"Come on, monkey! You and your friend can go over my bridge!"
"Thanks for helping!"
Looks like the Troll's not the only one under the bridge! But… How did the Fiesta Trio get there?!!
Where do we go next?
We went up the stairs, and across the bridge, so next is...?
PARTY HOUSE!
Do you see Dora's House?
Look! There's my Mami!
"Hello, Señora Márquez! It's my birthday!"
"I know."
Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños!
Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños!
"Oh, Dora, is that Boots' cake?"
Mami puts the cake in the house? (What's she going to do with it?)
Dora tells Boots to wait outside.
Boots loves surprises!
Look! There's our friends: Isa the Iguana, Benny the Bull and Tico the Squirrel!
Before Boots comes in, let's count out the party hats and goodie bags.
Let's count the party hats first.
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6!
Now the goodie bags.
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6!
"Good counting!"
6 bags, 6 hats! It’s a perfect set!
Boots wants to know if he can come in. "Can I come in now?”
Dora told him not yet. "Wait! Wait!” she said. (Sorry, Boots…)
Dora calls everyone together.
Dora knows how they can really surprise Boots: her surprise jump!
The surprise jump goes like this!
"You bend your knees
and crouch down
into a little ball.
Then, jump up and yell, 'SURPRISE!'."
"I need everybody to do the surprise jump so we can surprise Boots. Will you do the surprise jump with us and help us surprise Boots?"
Will you? Boots will be REALLY surprised!
"Great! First we gotta practice."
"Everybody has to stand up to do the surprise jump!"
"Get ready to stand up!"
"Stand up, please! Stand up!"
"Up, up, up! UP, UP, UP!"
(Now do what they do!)
(Now do what they do!)
"First you have to bend your knees,
and crouch down into a little ball. Crouch down! Now, jump up and yell, 'SURPRISE!'."
"SURPRISE!!!!!"/"¡SORPRESA!"
"Great! Okay, get ready to do my surprise jump again, because we're gonna let Boots in now!"
"So crouch down!" (Now they’re ready to do the real thing!)
"Okay, on the count of three, everybody jump up and yell, 'SURPRISE!' Ready?!?"
One,
two,
three!
Here he comes…
"SURPRISE!!!!!"/"¡SORPRESA!" (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOOTS! ¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS!)
"Oh, I’m SO surprised!" Boots said.
The party has everything Boots wanted and hoped for.
As expected, balloons, goody bags, party hats, birthday presents, party games, even a piñata!
Time for the piñata!
¡Uno, dos, tres!
Hit it, Boots!
BOOM!!! 💥
YAY! (High five!)
Boots' cake!
The candle is shaped like a banana! Boots’ favorite!
"Okay, everybody. It's time to sing "Feliz Cumpleaños" to Boots."
Sing it with us!
Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños, Feliz cumpleaños!
Benny tells Boots to blow out the candle so they can eat.
Everyone laughs (You’re funny, Benny!)
He’s just about to blow out the candle when…
Make a wish first! (Don’t say it out loud… It ruins it!)
The wish flew into his head!
(blows out candle)
Dora giving Boots a birthday hug after he blew the candle. (YAY!!!!!)
Boots wishes they can play together, everyday, forever and ever!
"Oh, Boots, we can! We can!" (It’s a birthday wish come true… 🥹)
Awwww! Adorable!
Boots thinks he had the best birthday ever!
WE DID IT!

We had such an exciting trip to my house for Boots' party today!
What was your favorite part of the trip?
Go on, share your thoughts of this first birthday adventure!
Of course, Dora likes that, too! What parts do THEY like the best?
Boots really likes when they (Dora and her friends) all yelled,
"Surprise"!
"I was SO surprised!" He sure was!
Dora liked when she and Boots sang,
the "Feliz Cumpleaños" song to the Grumpy Old Troll
and got him to dance! (He really got down on it!)
"We couldn't have gotten to the party without you!"
"Thanks for helping!"
(click, beep) Enjoy the rest of your birthday, Boots! Once again, Happy Birthday to YOU, you great young, cute, awesome monkey! ¡Feliz Cumpleaños! WE LOVE YOU! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🎁
