1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,360 Well, hi, hello, and good morning you two. You do realize 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,480 you're making television history by doing what you're doing right on Paramount Plus, Oh 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:14,359 my god, we're all so excited. We're excited too. Thank you for 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,879 having us. I mean, Diana, I mean, I mean so many 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,280 young and old fans are just can't wait until they get to hear you as 6 00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,399 Dora, because I mean, all of us grew up watching Dora, and 7 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:30,679 it's just amazing that you get to be a part of this journey. Yeah, 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,200 it feels amazing too. I'm so excited. What about you, Kathleen, 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,759 in the way that you were once Dora, Now you get to be 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,799 Dora's mother. This has to be special. It is actually really special. 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,920 And if I think about it too much, I start to cry. So 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,840 it's like it's just such a full circle moment and something that I never imagined, 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,200 like for my life. So to be a part of it again, 14 00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,759 to be mom, you know, Dora's mom, and to just be a 15 00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:03,399 part of the show and see, you know, everyone take on these iconic 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,560 roles and do an amazing job. And I just love being a part of 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,879 it and supporting everybody. And I can't wait for everyone to see it, 18 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,400 and they're gonna fall in love with the show all over again. They're gonna 19 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,519 fall in love with Diana, They're gonna fall in love with Dora like all 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,159 over and you know, Paramount Plus makes that so easy to get your hands 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,280 on. I mean, and that's what I love about it is that this 22 00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:23,439 is it's like, right there, I'm in the mood for some Dora today. 23 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:27,319 Boom, I'm on Paramount Plus. That's it. Yeah. Easy. 24 00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:30,439 What's it like for you to go into a toy store and all of a 25 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:34,280 sudden you'll see a toy, a Dora toy, and does it It's like, 26 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:41,079 oh my god, I'm Dora. Well, I mean, that hasn't 27 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,680 happened yet, but hopefully will. I mean, I'm still kind of in 28 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,959 shocked that I'm the boys of Dora, like because Dora is such a great 29 00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:56,599 character, and you know, it feels it's like sometimes I do get those 30 00:01:56,599 --> 00:02:00,920 little shock moments, like whenever I'm hearing my back in the in the recording 31 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,599 studio, or you know, when I'm talking about it with friends, Like 32 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,360 sometimes I do get that shock moment again, and it's it's really amazing to 33 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,400 be able to be a part of this show, Kathleen, do you think 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,879 that part of the reason why Dora is so popular with everybody on the planet. 35 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,680 Do you think the vibrant colors play a big role in this Oh? 36 00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:29,800 Yeah, for sure. It just looks so lively and exciting, and it 37 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:31,719 just makes you want to keep watching. And I think even you know, 38 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:37,319 when you talk about animation and like the evolvement of it, you can see 39 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,879 it. You can see all of the you know, the differences between the 40 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,039 old show and the new show, but you know, the essence of Dora 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,280 in her world is still there. It looks different, but like you said, 42 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:50,800 it's more vibrant. It's more it's a little elevated, you know. 43 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,879 And I think people are going to love it. They're going to see a 44 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,080 lot of similarities to the old show, but they're also going to love all 45 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,639 of the new things too. Yeah. What I love about Dora Diana is 46 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,240 the fact that it takes place in a rainforest. If you could see outside 47 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:08,439 my studio today, my studio sits in a forest. I'm overlooking the forest 48 00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,199 here. So when I watch Dora, it's like, yes, there are 49 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280 other tree lovers out there. Did do you get that experience? When you 50 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:22,360 watch them. Yeah, actually I love the rainforest like and you know, 51 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,439 seeing a Dora like like have adventures in it and explore it with their friends 52 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,039 and share it with the viewers. I think that's really fun because I feel 53 00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:38,680 like a lot of shows, you know, they're setting is just like, 54 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,520 you know, a regular setting like oh at home, And I feel like 55 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:47,120 Dora is you want to like the most like outdoorszas explore like setting that really 56 00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:52,280 fits the theme, you know, because she's an explorer and what better place 57 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,680 to explore than the rainforest. I'll tell you, Kathleen, You're gonna think 58 00:03:55,719 --> 00:04:00,400 I'm crazy, but I would love to see a Dora sometime where we can 59 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,840 just put on our VR goggles and step into those scenes and be jumping around 60 00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:10,680 like Dora does. Wow. I mean you're already living the explore life, 61 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,040 so I think you can give some tips on how to do that in real 62 00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:18,600 life. But virtually that'd be really cool too. I don't even I know 63 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,839 that's already possible, but yeah, that'd be amazing. Now, now, 64 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,399 Diana, does this mean that you're going to be traveling the country with different 65 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,759 tours, like different comic cons and things like that, Because I mean, 66 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,839 I mean, people are gonna want to get to talk to you, to 67 00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:35,120 get to know you because you're a part of our lives. Yeah, I 68 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,040 guess so. I mean, I'm not too sure yet on any traveling that 69 00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:42,199 I will do. I haven't been told about any of it, but I 70 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,600 would love to do it. I would love to, you know, meet 71 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:49,000 fans and you know, have them, actually know a little bit more about 72 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,480 myself behind the scenes of Dora. Yeah, now Kathleen as as Dora's mother, 73 00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,920 and you know that little that little monkey frand oh, Boots, Boots 74 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:01,240 can get you know, people in how did you react in a moment like 75 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,560 that when you've got Boots around. I mean, I love Dora and Boots. 76 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,199 I mean, you know, I grew up with Dora. Dora has 77 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,120 been such a huge part of my life. So I feel like I have 78 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,439 a love for Dora that's probably a little different than most. I mean, 79 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,279 Diana obviously, you know, she is going to have that same connection to 80 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,000 her. But I feel like I know them and I trust them, I 81 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,079 love them and I laugh. I think Boots is so funny, yes, 82 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,600 and just you know, reading his lines in the script, I just I'm 83 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,560 always giggling because he's just so funny and so cute. Oh. Absolutely, 84 00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:38,360 absolutely. So what's it like being going to school then, Diana and knowing 85 00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,480 that, I mean, does everybody know that your Dora or is that a 86 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:46,040 big secret? Well? At first, when I was first recording, it 87 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,920 was a big secret because you know, the news wasn't out yet reading those 88 00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:53,560 of the new seasons. But now that finally the news is out, we 89 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,639 know Door's going to be out this Friday twelve, I hear notut.

It's 92 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,000 so cool. So yeah, yeah, Now, now, Kathleen, are 93 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480 we going to get it one episode at a time on Paramount Plus or are 94 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,160 they going to give us the whole performance?
