"Dora Makeover"

I think parents feel that in changing and giving Dora a "makeover", Mattel and Nickelodeon are losing focus on whats really important. The children's education.

I think that this is definitely an attempt to stay with kids that have grown up with Dora.

If my child was used to watching Dora and it was really educating him or her, I would be upset if Mattel and Nickelodeon changed it and made it more about things other than interactive education.

I see this as an example of just another marketing campaign for Mattel and Nickelodeon. I believe that in making these changes they may make more money, but they are no longer focusing on the education of the children.

  2. i agree with you on this b/c the children was watching it for the education and since they want to change her, they might lose some viewers by this.
