Line 116:
== The baby fox in 'Swiper the Explorer' is actually Swiper's kid. ==
Hey, just because he's a thief doesn't mean he doesn't do other things. The mother, distraught by the fact that her child's father is an infamous thief, brought in a random male fox to serve as a male figure. Hence why the "father" appears at the very end of the episode; he's just playing a part.
== In-universe, ''Dora the Explorer'' is a reality show. ==
Preston Xander of ''[[Cracked.com]]'' [http://www.cracked.com/article_20090_6-creepy-things-you-never-noticed-about-famous-kids-cartoons_p2.html thinks] Dora Marquez is "stalked by omniscient and omnipotent strangers" because from Dora's point of view, the show's [[Fake Interactivity]] implies that her "life is controlled by a powerful, ever-changing mass of strangers" who help her with her backpack and scare off thieving woodland creatures. It's at least as plausible that Dora is the star of a show like ''[[Man vs. Wild]]'', and she's talking to her camera crew or other off-camera assistants, but their voices are edited out before broadcast for some reason. ([[Unions in Hollywood|Union]] requirements?)
