Nickelodeon and Mattel announced a new look for Dora The Explorer. The new Dora wears a dress with leggings rather than a shirt and shorts. The white sneakers that Dora normally wears is also gone and replaced now with flats (or slippers) instead.
There’s some obvious concern over whether the new Dora is “too sexy” for its young audience, but Nickelodeon is reassuring parents that the new look won’t diminish the show’s wholesome quality. We’ll see…

Aardman Animations Ltd., the same production studio that brought you Wallace and Gromit, is behind the genius laughing duo called Purple and Brown.
Purple and Brown are a part of a children’s television short series on Nickelodeon Network that is made with claymation (stop-motion clay animation). The very short episodes are really funny because the two of them always seem to find the best in any situation. I love the awkward low-pitched laugh that they both make.
Go over to this Dutch Purple and Brown website to watch some of their animated shorts. I think you might like them as much as I do. :)
