Dora the Explorer Gets Grounded (series)

Dora the Explorer Gets Grounded, also known as Dora Gets Grounded, is a series of videos made by several users on GoAnimate. First made in 2011, it is one of, if not the oldest, series of Grounded videos to feature a children's show character of the same name.

Why It Cannot Explore

 * 1) This series, like many other Grounded videos, portrays characters from preschool and children's shows as troublemakers. This series of videos utilizes the "It's made for kids" excuse, which is a lazy, uninspired and repetitive approach for video creation.
 * 2) There is almost zero research on the original franchise put into this series, which leads to a very inaccurate and disrespectful portrayal of the show. Not even Caillou Gets Grounded has such little research when compared to this series. For example:
 * 3) The canonical cast, with Dora, Elena, Cole, and Abuela being the only exceptions, are all absent from this series. While one could presume that this series takes place in a different location, Dora's friends are not mentioned at all. Furthermore, characters like Boots, Backpack, Map, Diego, Daisy, Alicia, Dora's younger twin siblings (Isabella and Guillermo) and other family members (Diego's Parents/Dora Aunt and Uncle and Abuelito/Dora's Grandfather) who could have been major or recurring characters, are completely absent whatsoever.
 * 4) Dora's father is always referred to as Miguel, even though his canonical name is Cole. This can be misleading towards people who haven't watched the original show, but he was also commonly referred to as "Papi".
 * 5) Dora's grandmother Abuela is sometimes referred to as Soledad, even though her canonical name is Abuela.
 * 6) Dora's mother (Elena) uses anti-Mexican/Hispanic insults towards her daughter, despite the fact that she's also Mexican, making her a hypocrite. It's also offensive to the Mexican/Hispanic audience, implying that the people did no research on them. To add insult to injury, she is saying it in front of her family members (Cole, Abuela, in some cases Diego and others who are also Mexican) and they don't even seem to care about what Elena said. This makes the viewer think that Elena is rejecting who she is.
 * 7) Abuela, Cole and Elena have become horrible parents who ground their daughter for ridiculously long amounts of time and even give her unfair punishments.
 * 8) Elena has gone from a caring and compassionate mother to a self-hating xenophobic hypocrite, as she continue using anti-Mexican/Hispanic to her daughter.
 * 9) Cole has gone from a polite, honorable and compassionate father to a a weapon wielding psychopath who aids Dora's punishments.
 * 10) Abuela has gone from a caring, good-natured and compassionate grandmother to a brute who enjoys grounding Dora. Not only that, she also is shown in peak condition, despite her age.
 * 11) All of the characters are unlikable and out of character, especially Dora herself.
 * 12) *Dora has become flanderized to become a horrible jerk who does bad things and treats other people around her like garbage, especially Gina.
 * 13) *Gina (Dora's rival) is no better than her, as she is a constant Tattle Tale who always snitches and tries to be the "hero", which can make her very annoying. She is also a weakling, and has no self defense when it comes to physical situations. To add insult to injury, anyone who defends Gina are in denial. And get gets off without punishment making her a Karma Houdini. It also should be noted Gina herself doesn't appear in the actual show itself. Despite that there are exceptions where Gina gets grounded.
 * 14) While they were popular in Vyond's Golden Age and used to have redeeming qualities, The heavy amount of the backlash the grounded series has gotten and the fact that there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever, it can ruin the viewer's childhood more than the actual show, due to how mean-spirited it is by its cruelty to comedy. In fact those videos were the reason why Vyond's Golden age had abruptly ended, causing the community's downfall and ruined Vyond itself.
