Dora, also known as Dora: Say Hola to Adventure!, is a children's animated television series created by Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes for the streaming service Paramount+ that premiered on April 12, 2024.[5] It is a reboot of the animated series Dora the Explorer (2000–2019), and the fourth series overall in the Dora the Explorer franchise.

A reboot of the original series, the series follows the adventures of Dora and her monkey friend, Boots as they go on epic adventures in a rainforest.
