Heartwarming / Dora the Explorer

• This quote from "Backpack!":
  Dora: Backpack, I'm gonna take you with me wherever I go.
• Little Star kisses Tico when he finds her in her namesake episode.
• Near the end of "Pinto, the Pony Express", Benny, after eating the cowboy cookies with his friends, discovers that there is one cookie left and, showing a bit of sympathy for Swiper, who had spent the entire episode trying to swipe them, decides to call him over and let him have it. After consuming the remaining cookie, Swiper then rejoices and frolics happily into the sunset, crying out "Yip-yip-yippee!".
• Swiper honestly telling Dora he didn't swipe her teddy bear in "The Lost City".
• The end of Christmas Carol. When Swiper fails at filling in his card and doesn't receive a gift, you can see his lip quivering at one point. The hug Dora gives him, and the entire scene after that, will likely give you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
• "Dora's Big Birthday Adventure":
  • The opening song consists of a brief clip show of nearly all of Dora and Boots' adventures up to that point, showing how wonderful it is to remember their home and their friends.
  • All of the Wizzles wishing Dora and Boots good luck on their journey to Wizzle Mountain.
  • When the crystal gets broke by La Bruja, the Wishing Wizzle tells Dora she had the ability to go home all along, if she remembers her friends. Upon wishing to go home and thinking of her friends, the crystal shows almost all the supporting characters wishing Dora to come home, and Dora even asks the viewer to wish them home in return.
  • Swiper is even invited to Dora's party as well! He even says, "Happy birthday, Dora!" after she comes home.
  • Dora getting a birthday hug from all her friends, and she complies with asking everyone — including the viewer — to hug someone they love. Boots even points out everyone is hugging.
• The Golden Phoenix smiling while watching Dora, Boots and Diego going to bring the Dragons and Unicorns back together in “Dora’s Enchanted Forest Adventure Part 2: Secret of Atlantis.”
