Trivia[]

This is the 106^th episode of the show.
This is the first episode where Backpack sings her standard full song with her new voice actress (excluding the marching band version in The Backpack Parade).
Big Red Chicken shrinks little which means he's called the Little Red Chicken (just like in the storybook in The Legend of the Big Red Chicken). This is because he's got the bunny rabbit's blue ribbon.
The Travel Song is replaced by the new song, "Abracadabra" in this episode.
- However, if they did sing the Travel Song, this would've been the Big Red Chicken's first time singing it.
It is unknown how Swiper and the Fiesta Trio got into Big Red Chicken's magic hat if they never even knew the magic word on how to get in.
This episode premiered exactly 2 years after Dora's World Adventure!.
This is the one of the few episodes where Dora and Boots returned to where they came from after reaching the final place on the map.
The "We Did It!" song is extended to accommodate the characters saying the magic word "Abracadabra!" four times.
- Before the final lyrics of "We Did It!", Dora, Boots, and the Big Red Chicken start an extra verse reminiscing the animal end song from Go, Diego, Go!. This is the first episode to do this.
  - In this episode, the extra verse started with Dora asking, "What's the magic word?".
  - This will happen again in Dora Helps the Birthday Wizzle and Boots' Banana Wish.
The Fiesta Trio's animation during the I'm the Map song is recycled from Catch the Babies.

Goofs/Errors[]

When Dora tells Big Red Chicken that he's got the bunny's blue ribbon, one can see closely that he's shaking his head "No" even though he does and that Dora is right.
When the Big Red Chicken first enters the Bunny Hill, six bunnies are shown, and the bunny next to its bed is the one without the bowtie. However, when the Big Red Chicken asks for the bunny that doesn't have the bowtie, only five are shown, the pathways completely change, and the bunny in front of the two pillows is shown without the bowtie. After the Blue Cursor clicks on the right bunny, the six bunnies are shown again, the pathways change back to how they originally were, and the bunny next to its bed was actually the one without the bowtie.

On international airings of the episode, not only does it have the Seasons 3-4 opening sequence with the Explorer Stars and the Star Pocket, but also has the intro's audio playing with the original voices (Kathleen Herles, Harrison Chad and Sasha Toro) rather than the Seasons 5-6 intro's audio playing with the new voices (Caitlin Sanchez, Regan Mizrahi and Alexandria Suarez). However, the Nickelodeon splat logo that was used on international prints of this season (replacing the butterfly) is still present.

Running Gag[]

The phrase "Abracadabra" is used a lot in this episode.
