Recap / Dora the Explorer S4E12 "Boots to the Rescue"

Go To

Original air date: 11/6/2006 (produced in 2003)

Dora wrote a song in English and Spanish for music class, but she accidentally left it in Boots' room! It's up to Boots to deliver the song to her in time by journeying on a big solo adventure to school, all while learning Spanish himself, too!


Tropes:

  • Big Damn Heroes: Boots reaches the school just in time to give Dora her song.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The lyrics in Dora's song are what help Boots get through the different locations. "Arriba, up! Abajo, down!" is used for the Up and Down Jungle when getting past the scary animals, while "Abre, open! Cierra, close!" is used to get through the doors of the robot house and to help Roberto.
  • Continuity Nod: The music teacher is La Maestra, who previously appeared in "La Maestra De Musica".
  • Does Not Speak Common: The gate to the Robot House can only speak Spanish, thus Boots had to use the Spanish words for "open" and "close" (from Dora's song) to get it to open and close.
  • A Day in the Limelight: For Boots, as per the title.
  • Race Against the Clock: Boots has only a matter of time to get to school and deliver Dora's song before music class starts.
  • Say My Name:
    • Dora screams "BOOTS!" a few times to alert Boots to hurry to school.
    • Boots screams, "DORAAAAAAA!!!" as he reaches the school just in time to give Dora her song.
