[The episode starts with Dora helping Mami decorate the room because today is a very special day… it's Mother's Day!]
She jumps into Mami's arms. "YAY!"
She explains that they’re getting ready for a BIG Mother's Day party.
Dora has a question for the viewer. That is… "Do you like parties?"
Dora does! "Me too!" she said, "We're going to have cookies,
Mami is excited. "Oooh, presents!"
Dora told her that she and Papi have a special Mother's Day surprise for her.
"Oh, a surprise! How exciting!", said Mami.
"But you can't come in the kitchen until it's ready!"
She told her she promises not to come in.
Dora tells the viewer that Papi is baking her a cake for Mama for Mother's Day.
Just then, she hears Papi. "Dora?!"
"DORA! I need to see you RIGHT AWAY! ¡RÁPIDO!" Uh-oh! Sounds like an emergency!
"Uh-oh! Sounds like there’s a problem with the cake!"
When she went in, Papi has bad news: three special ingredients are missing!
He explains that without those special ingredients, they can’t make the cake for Mama for Mother's Day.
Dora tells him not to worry. "I'LL get the special ingredients, no matter what!"
"¡Que bien!" said Papi as he hugs her.
"Okay, here's what we need…" Let see what the special ingredients are…
First let's count to see how many bananas we need.
Papi gets out a pencil to write the number of each ingredient, just in case Dora forgets. So, ten bananas.
Now let’s count how many nuts we need.
Papi writes a "6" so Dora can remember.
And how many pieces of chocolate do we need?
One! One BIG piece of chocolate!
and one BIG piece of chocolate!
They each got a plan. Papi will start making the cake,
while Dora gets the bananas, nuts, and chocolate.
She couldn’t wait to give Mamí the cake!
We need to find bananas, nuts,
and chocolate for the cake.
Dora should have known where, so she asked the viewer: "Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?"
(WHO?!)
Will you check the Map to see where to get the bananas, nuts, and chocolate?
There he is!
(And look how excited he is for Mothers' Day!)
All right, up he goes! (SPRIIIIIING...!) Let's see where those ingredients are!
[The map for the episode.]
Dora needs to find the special ingredients for Mami's cake!
"Yummy!" he went. Luckily, Map knows where to find the special ingredients for Mami's cake! Listen carefully...
First, you go to the bananas.
Then, you go through the Nutty Forest.
And then, you go to the Chocolate Tree, for one BIG piece of chocolate!! ("Chocolate!" the Chocolate Tree went.)
However, Map gives a warning: "But watch out for Swiper!" He will take all the people's gifts for their mommies, so protect the special ingredients and stop him at all costs!
Where do we go to get the special ingredients for Mami's cake?
Bananas, Nuts, Chocolate Tree. First, we go to the bananas.
Then, we go through the Nutty Forest.
And then, we go to the Chocolate Tree!
And that's how we'll get all the special ingredients for Mami's cake! Thanks for helping.
So first we need to find the bananas.
Let’s go get the special ingredients for Mamí's cake!
"Do you want to see what I'm making my mommy for the Mother’s Day party?"
She thinks it’s neat. "It's very nice, Boots!
"I know! OOH-OOH-AAH-AAH!!!"
(NOTE: This is Boots' actor Harrison Chad's second recording of his monkey sound.)
"What are you making for YOUR mommy, Dora?"
She explains to him about the cake she's helping Papi bake, and that's what she’s going to give to her mommy. She also says it will have bananas, nuts, and chocolate.
LOVE…" What do YOU think?
and then asks Boots if he wants to help her get the special ingredients so she can make the cake for her Mami.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Boots would be glad to.
"Let's put your picture in the Backpack until the party."
In it goes for safe keeping!
"Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! ¡DELICIOSO!" said Backpack.
Bananas, Nuts, Chocolate Tree!
Bananas, Nuts, Chocolate Tree!
Bananas, Nuts, Chocolate Tree!
Bananas, Nuts, CHOCOLATE TREE!
Come on, let’s get to it!
I know that we can do it!
(Let's do something different…) What are we making?
(Hey, look! It's the Fiesta Trio!) Mommy's cake!
They reach the Banana Grove. "OOH, OOH! BANANAS!"
Do you remember how many bananas they need? How many?
Boots reads. "Ten bananas!"
Will you help them find ten bananas?
Great!
There are three trees with bananas.
Here are some bananas. Let’s count to see how many there are.
5 bananas, not enough. Let’s keep looking!
Here are more bananas. How many are there?
We have 5 bananas and added three more, and all together that makes…
Not enough. The recipe calls for ten bananas. How many more do they need?
Two more, right!
We have 8 bananas and added two. Do we have all ten? Let's count to make sure…
10!
YAY! We found ten bananas!
10! Boots caught the last one with his tail.
He ends up juggling them…
"All right! We got the bananas!"
Whoa, how much longer will Boots have to juggle those bananas for?
"WHOA,
HELP!!!" he cried. While Dora gasped,...
"Uh-oh!"
Dora asks: "I need YOUR help!"
"Will you check my Backpack for something to hold the bananas?"
You have to say, "Backpack"!
SAY, "BACKPACK"! SAY, "BACKPACK"!!!
(WHOA! Looks like he can’t take it much longer! HURRY!)
It's Mochila to the rescue!
"¡Hola!" Backpack greeted.
"I have lots of stuff, but Dora needs you to
find something to hold ALL those bananas!"
What can we use to hold all the bananas?
Backpack asks: "Will this hold the bananas?"
"Will THIS hold the bananas?"
"Right! The basket will hold the bananas.
Oh, good! Now she can carry the bananas.
"Thanks for getting the basket!"
WHOA! Be careful there, Fiesta Trio! (They’re riding on peels.)
We made it through the bananas!
"Dora, where do we go next?"
We got the bananas, so next is…? Nuts, right! The Nutty Forest!
(Now where is the Nutty Forest…?)
Do you see a Nutty Forest?
Let’s go get the special ingredients for Mamí's cake!
(distant cowbell ringing)
Dora thinks she heard something.
(clanging continues) There it is again!
"Hey, it’s Benny the Bull!"
They both say hello. "Hi, Benny!"
Boots likes Benny's cowbell. "Nice bell!"
Benny explains that the bell is a present he got for his grandma for Mother’s Day party.
Boots is impressed "Wow, Benny!" he went,
(distant whisking) What was THAT?!
"Did you hear THAT?" said Dora.
"That sounds like Swiper the Fox!"
"THAT sneaky fox will try to swipe my grandma's bell!"
He hides it behind his back. Hopefully it will work!
If you see Swiper the Fox, yell "SWIPER!".
"OH, NO!" hollered Benny.
(That was quick!)
"SWIPER!!!" they all yelled.
"You'll NEVER find it NOW!"
That mean fox! "Now I won’t have a present
for Mother's Day…" said Benny as his ears droop.
Dora tells him not to worry before he cries. "Don't worry, Benny!"
"WE'LL help you find that bell!"
Will YOU help them find Benny's bell?
Looks like this calls for a listening game! "We have to listen to the sounds to find Benny's bell. Let's listen…"
"I know, I know, I KNOW!"
That's not the bell! It's a beetle drumming on a pot!
"You're not my bell!" Benny said to the beetle.
Do YOU know where his bell is? Let's listen again.
(Benny clangs with happiness)
And now, Benny is looking forward to giving his bell to his grandma at the party!
(clangs again) "See ya!"
Now who are behind those other places? Let's see…
A porcupine is strumming the guitar in the bush, a praying mantis is playing the drum on the rock, and that beetle Benny saw earlier was banging the pot in the leaves.
Let's go get the special ingredients for
Mamí’s cake!" (Boots has his tongue out! He’s really looking forward to that cake!) Time to get going!
Boots sees the Nutty Forest up ahead.
All right, we got ten bananas…
How many nuts do we need?
Six, right! "Six nuts!" Boots read.
"¡Hola, Dora! ¡Hola, Boots!"
"¡Una pulsera, para mi mama!"
Tico made a bracelet for his mamá for the party.
Boots notices that the bracelet is made of nuts. "COOL!"
He asks Tico if he can help them get some nuts.
Dora asks in Spanish. "Tico, ¿puedes ayudarnos a recolectar algunas nueces?"
Sure enough… "¡Si pues claro!"
YAY! Tico is going to help us!
Oops! He shook it TOO hard!
"Uh oh! Tico better watch out!"
"The nuts are rolling right towards him!"
Tico's gonna have to jump over the nuts! Tico speaks Spanish; so to tell Tico "jump", we say "salta".
Here come the nuts! Tell Tico, "¡Salta!"
Tico heard you and he jumped over the nuts.
Now the nuts are rolling towards Boots!
Boots went over the nuts!
Oh, ¡muchas gracias, Tico!
The Fiesta Trio are riding on the nuts! Be careful!
That was silly! (both laughing)
We made it through the Nutty Forest!
"Dora, WHERE do we go next?"
We got the bananas, got the nuts, so next comes the…?
Chocolate, right! The Chocolate Tree!
Do you see the Chocolate Tree?
Yeah, there’s the Chocolate Tree!
"Come on, Boots! Let’s go get the last special ingredient for Mamí's cake!"
Anyone else giving gifts for their mommies?
There's Isa! "Hi, Dora! Hi, Boots!"
"Wow! Those flowers smell great, Isa!"
(Boots sniffs) "I know, Boots!"
She explains that they’re for her mommy for the Mother's Day party.
Oh, no! That sounds like Swiper the Fox AGAIN!
He's gonna try to swipe Isa’s flowers!
(Smelling the flowers) There he is!
"OH, NO!" shrieked Boots.
Thanks for helping us stop Swiper!
(And good thing he didn't swipe your special ingredients from the basket.)
"Bate, Bate, Chocolate!" the Chocolate Tree STILL has that song stuck in his head!
"Listen, Boots! It's the Chocolate Tree!" (Bate, Bate, Chocolate!)
"¡Hola, amiguitos! I bet I know what you want!"
"SURE!" he said. He takes a wild guess. "You want chocolate para tu mama!"
"Good guess, Señor Chocolate Tree!"
She explains she needs it for a cake for her Mamí.
How many pieces chocolate do they need?
One, right! One BIG piece of chocolate!
I have any chocolate left…"
(Perfect!) Do you see any chocolate pieces on the Chocolate Tree? Where?!
"¡Maravilloso! It's all yours!"
Boots notices that the chocolate piece is up REALLY high.
Will you help them reach the chocolate?
"Great!" said Dora as she puts her basket down.
Put your hands out in the air, and reach really REALLY high!
Will they get the chocolate?
We reached the chocolate!
"¡Muchas gracias!" she said to the Chocolate Tree.
"¡De nada!" he responded.
She tells him that now they have ALL the special ingredients to make Mamí’s cake!
He congratulates them. "¡Muy bien!"
Time to go! "Come on, Boots! Let's go home and make the cake for Mami!"
Back at home… (Note: This scene right here was also used at the beginning of
Grandma's House.)
"Papi!" she tells him, "We got ALL the special ingredients for Mami’s cake!"
Papi wants to see, so here they are!
and chocolate!" explained Boots.
"¡PERFECTO! You're JUST IN TIME!" cheered Papi. Now let's add the special ingredients…
Here's what we have so far.
And Dora has the chocolate ready for Papi.
¡Delicioso! Dora is excited!
Let's go to the oven for baking the cake!
"The cake will be ready in time for the Mother's Day party!"
Few minutes later and…TAH-DAH!
Everybody’s here for the Mother’s Day party!
Tico the Squirrel and his mommy...
(He gives the bracelet to his mother)
Isa the Iguana and her mommy...
(gives her the flowers) She REALLY likes it!
Benny the Bull and his grandma...
(Benny gives bell to his grandmother).
...and Boots and his mommy!
(Boots' mother look at Boots’ picture) Looks like she loves it!
They all gave their presents to their mommies!
Dora has a present for HER mommy on Mother's Day.
Can YOU guess what it is?
¡Feliz Día de Las Madres!
"This is just like the cake I made for MÍ mama!" Mamí admitted.
Abuela remembered that it’s just like the cake she made for HER mama!
Even the iguanas are getting down on it!
Not just Backpack and Map, but everyone else sings this part. We did it!
Go, Tico, go! He's dancing with his mommy!
We got the ten bananas, (holds ten fingers)
and the six nuts, too! (holds six fingers)
Everyone sings this part. HOORAY!
We reached high for the chocolate,
and we got it, thanks to YOU!
We helped Benny find his bell,
(Speaking of Benny, he and his grandma are rocking out as well!) along the way!
¡Feliz Día de Las Madres!
¡FELIZ DÍA DE LAS MADRES!
We had such a fun trip today.
What was YOUR favorite part of the trip?
Boots liked when they all said "salta," and
Dora liked when she gave the cake to her Mamí!
She was SO happy! (of course)
"We COULDN'T have done it without you!"
"Thanks for helping!" (And a happy 90th Anniversary to Nickelodeon's parent company, Paramount!)
