Shakira, Salma Hayek Help Dora The Explorer Celebrate Anniversary. Dora the Explorer is calling on Shakira and Salma Hayek, among others, to help celebrate her 10th anniversary. Who knew the Spanglish-speaking animated tyke had such hot friends? The two Latin stars are among the celebrities joining Dora for her milestone, which is being anchored by an all-new hour-long TV movie, “Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure.” John Leguizamo, Rosie Perez, and Hector Elizondo are all lending their voice talents to the upcoming animated movie. In “Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure,” Dora and Boots explore the Magic Storybook Land and take a page out of “The Wizard of Oz,” where they encounter La Bruja (the witch), voiced by Perez, the Flying Monkeys (Leguizamo) and the Wishing Wizzle (Elizondo). Shakira, Hayek, and others, including Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd of “The View,” will be among the celebrities featured on a special 12-minute Dora 10th Anniversary tribute executive-produced by Academy Award- nominated Brett Morgen. The mini-documentary features the show’s creators and celeb commentators discussing the series’ cultural and educational impact. “For the past 10 years, Dora the Explorer has been a pioneer – a symbol of empowerment, diversity and education,” said Brown Johnson, President of Animation for Nickelodeon. “She has captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world and will continue to inspire and entertain preschoolers for many years to come.” “Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure,” along with the special tribute, premiere Sunday, August 15th, at 8:00 pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon.
