I think the "tween" Dora is cute. But I also think the clothes are a little off. Who goes exploring in a dress and flats. I am glad that she is growing like in real life. I wonder how old will she look if they change her with the times again, If they make her any older.
If you think those clothes are off then you should look at some of the other cartoons on these days they like show way more than this.
The new Dora version circulating the internet is "Dora the Illegal Immigrant". Is anything sacred or untouched these days? See the below image. Discussion on the Arizona Immigration Law go here: Source 4

I am not surprised. In YouTube the have several videos about her with all sort of ugly/racist names. I know some people may disagree but a large portion of the population in the US don't like Mexicans/Hispanics in general regardless or not of their immigration status.
Feliz CumpleaƱos, Dora! "Dora the Explorer" Turns 10
Every preschooler's favorite bilingual heroine is turning the big 1-0 this weekend. The hour-long special, "Dora's Big Birthday Adventure," will air on Sunday, August 15. Dora Marquez, the animated star of Nickelodeon's Peabody award-winning cartoon, "Dora the Explorer," has become a cultural phenomenon since the show was launched in 2000. Ref. Source 2
I just don't like the sound of Dora's voice it just gets under my skin and makes me itch. I know its for kids but our neighbors play it so loud that I'm forced to hear it in the evening
I think she look cute, never interested with the show, I don't know she has grown up version now, I try to google it but nothing much shown, I guess the story are not focused in exploration now, not like the original are that realistic in the exploration anyway.
Of course another excuse for racist propaganda to rile the mass, even though the show or her appearance has nothing to do with it.
