I do think it's worth adding a criticism section. I actually won't let my kids watch it because the english (and spanish) is terrible, the manners are terrible, I think it's subtly racist (why does dora cross a river in every episode?), I think the fox is a subtle knock on jews and I think that boots is a subtle knock on african americans. Handy Manny is a good example of a nonracist show which has none of these problems, but I think they're going so out their way to make dora ""special"" it comes off as trite.
