Even though it is still pending regulatory approvals from many different government offices, including international government approvals, we can still assume 2025 will be one of the most important years in Paramount’s history for two reasons. One of them is South Park moving from its current library streaming home on Max (nee HBO Max) to its new global home on Paramount+. It will also be one of the few series Paramount+ can call the official global streaming home, the other being SpongeBob SquarePants since Yellowstone is still exclusive to Peacock in the US.

It's an early return for Dora the Explorer and Boots the Monkey as she heads back to the big screen in a new theatrical short Dora and the Fantastical Creatures, which will be released in front of Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie on Friday, September 29.

This will be the public's first chance to see the rebooted and redesigned Nick Jr. Latina heroine before the launch of the new CG-animated series Dora (yes that seems to be the settled name) headed to Paramount+ in spring 2024 in the United States. Internationally, Dora will stream day-and-date on Paramount+ and air on Nickelodeon channels in all markets where available.

In Dora and the Fantastical Creatures, Dora, now voiced by Diana Zermeño, and Boots, now voiced by Asher Spence embark on an incredible adventure to the land of alebrijes, the most magical and colorful creatures in the rainforest. There, they must band together against Swiper, voiced by Marc Weiner reprising his role from previous Dora media, to save the beloved alebrijes and their Copal Tree Celebration. Also starring in the short are Pokémon's Anairis Quiñones as Luna Arcoiris; Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies's Danny Burstein as Sol; and Kate del Castillo as Ale. Following the debut of the short, ancillary Dora content will be made available across Nickelodeon platforms, Paramount+ and Noggin. 

In the new Dora series, Quiñones takes on additional roles including Map and The Fiesta Trio's armadillo, while Burstein takes on the roles of the Grumpy Old Troll and The Fiesta Trio's frog and marmoset. Justice League and Wizards of Waverly Place's Maria Canals-Barrera will voice Abuela, and Katarina Sky is the voice of Backpack. The series also features Donovan Monzon-Sanders as Tico; Tandi Fomukong as Isa; Quintún Muñoz as Benny the Bull; and co-creator Chris Gifford as Big Red Chicken, reprising his role.

Dora and the Fantastical Creatures is produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, Calif. William Mata is directing from a screenplay by Alejandro Bien-Willner and a story by Bien-Willner and Sean Gill. Production is overseen by Eryk Casemiro, Executive Vice President, Global Animated Series at Nickelodeon. Miriam Ritchie and Marielle Kaar serve as Nickelodeon's Executives in Charge of Production for the short. Dora the Explorer is created by Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner. Watch the Dora and the Fantastical Creatures trailer below.
