recommended age Unlock co-watching from 4

Dora and her friends dress as pirates for a festival at an old fort, selling tickets for a ship ride to raise money to turn the fort into a museum. When the rented ship never arrives, Dora promises a boy named Jorge he can still steer, then sets about turning a rowboat into a pirate ship with sails, a flag and a wheel found in the basement. The wheel turns out to be enchanted and pulls her and Pablo into a hidden cave, where a talking pirate ship, a magic charm bracelet, a sea serpent and a band of treasure-stealing pirates are all part of getting back out. They escape with the treasure, the crowd returns to buy tickets, and the museum gets its money.

Dora and her friends are getting ready for a dance party at the Arcoiris Café to raise money for a new dance school, but Pablo refuses to join in. Celia, a girl from a town called Baila, pulls them into her world, where her father the mayor has banned dancing ever since she stubbed her toe. The friends cross a dance floor and a bridge of flashing lights without breaking the rule, then help Celia show her father that dancing can be safe. He lifts the ban, Pablo teaches the whole town to dance, and the party back home raises enough money for the school to open.

At school, Dora, Naya and Pablo are reading stories about ancient treasure to younger children when Pablo finds an old ring in the garden and shrinks to thumb size after putting it on. They match the glyphs on the ring against library books and learn that only placing it on Princess Xochitl's finger will break the spell, so all three shrink and travel through a tiny door into an ancient kingdom. With help from a mouse they dodge a greedy wizard and his cat, cross a puddle on a giant duck and climb up to the sleeping princess. The wizard's theft is exposed at his hut, the ring goes back on the princess's finger, and Pablo returns to school full-size with a medal and a story to tell.

Dora and her friends are preparing a royal ball in the park to thank the children who helped clean it up, but the royal dresses never arrive. Dora and Alana head to a costume shop, where a talking, singing box turns up carrying a dress meant for a princess and admits it is completely lost. Together they teleport through a dinosaur valley, a mermaid beach and a dragon forest, riding a horse grown from a charm bracelet and catching the box when it falls near crocodiles. The princess gets her bow back and gives them armfuls of dresses, so the party goes ahead with Alana crowned queen and the episode closes by asking the viewer how they could help out where they live.

Dora and Pablo are preparing a magic show for Dora's little brother and sister at their preschool, and Papi lends Dora his old magic hat. A bunny bounces off with the hat into a magic shop and through a portal into Magic Land, where a magician named Victor uses it to take all the other magicians' tricks. Dora and Pablo follow him down a cave, up a cliff and into the sky, and Pablo's long-practised linking-ring trick is what finally recovers the hat. Victor admits he never learned any tricks, apologises, is offered lessons, and the pair make it back in time to perform their show.

Dora, Emma and Pablo are rehearsing an opera to surprise Emma's grandma at her birthday party when the wind carries off the page with the ending. Following it into the opera house, they land in Opera Land, where a singer called La Diva has used a wand to take the sound from everyone's instruments so only her voice can be heard. With a set of bells from the residents and a charm bracelet that turns into a flying bird, the friends reach La Diva, retrieve the wand and give the music back. They then sing with her about how voices sound better together, and she teaches them the ending in time for the party.

Dora and Kate follow them into Puppet World, a handmade fairy tale land where they help the seven dwarves, the gingerbread man, Rapunzel and Jack along the way. They reach Littlest Piggy in time to finish his brick house, using frosting in place of glue, and when the big bad wolf arrives he huffs, puffs and tumbles into the water. The group pulls him out, he apologises, blows the flattened houses back into shape, and joins the puppet show as its most dramatic performer.

Dora in Clockland

Dora and her friends set up outside the zoo clock to play a concert with the clock animals, but the clock stops because its wind-up key has been taken. Following the monkey through a door, they find themselves in Clockland, where every clock has stopped, and they help a schoolhouse and a tick-tock train along the way while chasing two cuckoo birds. The birds admit they took the key because they are tired of only being allowed to cuckoo, and the group invites them to sing in the concert instead. The key is returned, Dora winds the clock, and everyone performs together while zoo visitors come back.
