The townspeople are having a musical parade, but when Señor Shush locks all their instruments in a music box, Dora and Boots take their own parade to the town! Help them find instruments for their friends, try to stop Swiper, and make great music!
Tropes:
- Breaking Old Trends: This is the first time Dora and Boots do not sing the Travel Song and sing a different song in place; in this case, they sing "A Musician I Am".
- Continuity Nod:
- Dora and Boots use the flute and maracas they got in "A Present for Santa".
- Señor Tucán helps fix Piano Bridge the same way he fixed the bridge in "The Legend of the Big Red Chicken", albeit the Spanish words are different.
- Heel–Face Turn: Señor Shush undergoes one when Dora invites him to play music with her parade.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: Swiper swipes the instruments.
