These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Dora The Explorer
Accidental Innuendo: "We have to pull Benny out before the Gooey Geyser goes ker-sploosh!"
What about "We can do it!/We did it!"?
Alternate Character Interpretation: A number of Facebook groups have sprung up promoting the theory that Dora is an illegal immigrant and Swiper is a Customs Officer.
Complete Monster: The evil Witch from Dora's Fairytale Adventure. She's probably as outright evil as a villain can get for this show, putting a sleeping spell on Boots that would last forever if Dora didn't break it in time For the Evulz, then did everything she could to stop Dora from breaking it. It's also pretty much stated that she was causing everyone in the fairytale world a huge amount of grief for the same reason. She's also one of the few villains in the show to actually be defeated and not perform a Heel Face Turn.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Being a kid's show, there's bound to be gushing quantities scattered around here or there. However, the end of Christmas Carol deserves special mention. When Swiper fails at filling in his card and doesn't receive a gift, you can see his lip quivering at one point. The hug Dora gives him, and the entire scene after that, will likely give you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Which you'll probably pass off as heartburn, but still, it's heartburn that feels good.
Even worse, Swiper is and was capable of being good, feeling guilty, and even returning presents. Yet Santa doesn't acknowledge this, and still puts him on the naughty list. It's shown that if Dora hadn't stepped in, Swiper would have become a cold, bitter, genuine thief who lives in a creepy castle all alone with nothing but his swiped goodies putting him on the naughty list wouldn't have taught him a lesson, it would have made him worse than ever. Nice Job Almost Breaking It Santa. Thank god for the power of friendship.
