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/Vyond. 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, Dora's younger twin siblings and other family members, 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).
 * 7) All of the characters are unlikable and out of character, especially Dora herself.
 * 8) *Dora has become flanderized to become a horrible jerk who does bad things and treats other people around her like garbage, especially Gina.
 * 9) *Gina (Dora's rival) is not much better than her, as she is a constant Tattle Tale 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. (An example of her being a weakling is

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite what it says in WINE#3, just about all characters can be likable and/or tolerable at times.
 * 2) Despite the majority of videos usually featuring only Dora, Cole, Elena, and Abuela, some videos include additional characters from the original franchise.
