I would love to find an email address that I could send a message to, especially Brown Johnson, regarding changing Dora the Explorers look. I hate it and really hope that they reconsider . The character shouldn't grown with the children, children grow and new viewers come along to take their place. What is the new Dora going to teach now, pick up lines in Spanish?
