Dora the Explorer: Dora's Pirate Adventure!

While most of this show was rented, which meant there wasn't really a lot to make, some props needed to be made, or made better. My favorite part of this show was drawing on the cartoons of my childhood, and making extendable scissors much like the trap boxing gloves from old cartoons, and the children gasped whenever they came out. Other than that, another challenge that took a lot of time was the treasure chest. While it was rented, I had the idea that having two characters lift up the lid was boring; it could be much more magical. So I put two pneumatic pistons in, so that when a switch was flipped, te lid would open up, balloons would pop out, and a confetti cannon would fire, shooting confetti around 30 feet into the air.
