Tres Estrellas Exploradoras - on a Brand New Episode, 'Star Mountain,' Premiering Monday, March 12 on Nick Jr.
NEW YORK -- Dora the Explorer is reaching for the stars as Nick Jr. premieres a new half-hour episode of the international preschool phenomenon entitled "Star Mountain" on Monday, March 12. The new episode will teach viewers their numbers and colors in Spanish, as they journey along with Dora, Boots and the Tres Estrellas Exploradoras (Three Explorer Stars). Since its debut in 2000, Dora the Explorer was the top-rated preschool series on all of commercial TV for over five consecutive years and garnered the number two spot for 2006, second only to Nick Jr.'s number-one rated The Wonder Pets!
An international success, Dora the Explorer is broadcast all over the world, teaching the majority of her viewers English rather than Spanish. Syndicated to TV broadcasters in 125 markets and translated in 24 languages, Dora the Explorer is the number one rated show in France, Canada, Italy and Mexico and is a top 10 rated show in nearly every major broadcast market in the world including the UK and China.
Dora the Explorer is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora, a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. Dora explores her world just as preschoolers do everyday, and the show is designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a variety of learning techniques.
Nickelodeon, in its 27th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The company includes television programming and production in the United States and around the world, plus consumer products, online, recreation, books, magazines and feature films. |GlobalGiants.com|
