Tale of the Unicorn King
All of the forest animals choose Unicornio as the King of the Enchanted Forest. The animals think Unicornio is kind, smart, brave and strong but Unicornio is shy and doesn’t think he’s any of those things.  Dora and Boots must prove to Unicornio that he can be King.

The Secret of Atlantis
Dora and Boots are at the beach when they see Diego riding in on a dolphin.  He just went on an undersea adventure and found the legendary lost continent of Atlantis where he finds out why it disappeared from the Earth.  Diego recruits Dora, Boots and King Unicornio to help him end an ancient feud between unicorns and dragons as it’s the only way to make Atlantis rise.

Dora Saves King Unicornio (Double-Length Episode)
Dora and Boots are playing in the leaves on an autumn day and Little Rabbit from the Enchanted Forest arrives to ask for their help. When King Unicornio returned from Atlantis to the Enchanted Forest, Owl didn’t want to give back the king’s crown, so he tricks Unicornio.  If Unicornio doesn’t plug up the dam with his horn, the whole forest will flood!  Meanwhile, Owl is still ruling over the Enchanted Forest and making new rules like banning scarecrows, gnomes and fairies from the forest.  Dora and Boots set out to rescue Unicornio from the Owl.

Dora the Explorer, created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner, is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora is a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests.  She 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.

In every episode, Dora and Boots invite the audience to participate in an exciting adventure, where each step of their journey consists of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must think their way through in order to solve the next problem.  Dora is proudly bilingual and uses her knowledge of English and Spanish to communicate with her friends, overcome obstacles and reach her goals.  In each episode, Dora teaches Spanish words or phrases to the viewers and then asks them to use it to solve a problem and forge ahead.  Ultimately, Dora and her best friend, Boots, triumph, and the story always ends with a “We Did It!” anthem.
