Recap / Dora the Explorer S2E18 "To the Monkey Bars"

Go To

Original air date: 4/28/2003 (produced in 2001)

Dora has a big secret — she's never made it all the way across the monkey bars at Play Park. Boots is sure she can make it this time, so the two set out on an adventure to Play Park, all while showing other things they can do, too!


Tropes:

  • Arc Words: "Yes we can," in keeping with the nature of the episode and Dora wanting to make it all the way across the monkey bars.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • Dora's photo album has pictures of Season 1 episodes, specifically "Treasure Island", "Little Star", and "Dora Saves the Prince", in that order.
    • Pinto the fast pony from "Pinto, the Pony Express" returns to help Dora and Boots up the hill to Play Park.
  • Characterization Marches On: Beginning with this episode, the Grumpy Old Troll is no longer furious when Dora and Boots solve his riddles and vows to stump them next time; he has become more sensible and sincere with them solving the riddles and approves of it without getting mad.
