Tween Dora = Jump the Shark

WHY would anyone be upset, the tween version is very conservative, nothing sexual. It is a really good image (i.e. not to thin, clothes are modest).

My criticism is that it will fail. They have a good idea but are going about it the wrong way. They should make this tween version an older cousin, not Dora her self. It would open a lot more opportunities for story lines that would HELP little girls as they start to grow up. They are going to loose their fan base but not because of her being too sexy, the little girls need Dora. Rugrats "All Growed Up" was fun but not sustainable. Can you say "Jump the Shark"

And what'cha wanna bet, someone from Mattel and/or Nickelodon reads this post & uses this idea - and I get nothing? Kinda my luck sometimes
