Along their journey they have to continually avoid Swiper who unsuccessfully attempts to steal items they have found on their journey, e.g. Upon directions provided by Map, Dora and Boots journey past a banana tree (which they eat to sustain themselves) and through a cornfield (filled with angry red ants, which they avoid by following instructions from a talking scarecrow who tells them to stick to the field's blue stone path after mistakenly scaring Baby Blue Bird which results not only her crying, but also Scarecrow crying) to eventually get the chick back to her family in their little blue tree home. Whilst playing hide-and-seek, Dora and Boots find Baby Blue Bird, a Spanish-speaking bluebird chick, who had fallen out of her nest, located in a little blue tree, and had become lost.

Note: This is the series premiere episode and also the debut of Dora, Boots, Backpack, Map, Swiper, the Fiesta Trio, Señor Tucan, and the Big Red Chicken. They eventually reach the Big Red Hill, which is in reality the seated form of the Big Red Chicken. Their journey is continually hampered by Swiper, who initially unsuccessfully attempts to steal the book and then successfully steals the four-pointed key. Īfter reading a big red book, entitled 'The Legend of the Big Red Chicken', about a very small chicken that wished upon a chicken constellation to gain enormous size, Dora and Boots, following Map's directions, traverse two obstacles, a wooden bridge (broken, but fixed by Dora with Señor Tucán's help) and a wooden gate (locked, but opened by Dora with the recovered four-pointed key), to get to the Big Red Hill to meet the Big Red Chicken. Note: This pilot features prototypes of the main characters, sometimes with significantly different designs, including Dora (green-eyes, not with brown eyes), Boots (different appearance and not wearing boots), Benny (a brown bull, not blue, called 'Benito'), Tico (a blue Skunk with orange hair, not a purple squirrel with pink hair), Swiper (unchanged), Backpack, Map, Isa, the Fiesta Trio, and Val the Octopus.

The synopsis of this pilot parallels the episode ' Beaches'. The pilot episode has been classed as ' lost media' as it has not been released to the public except via storyboard diagrams and small clips. Before the show premiered, a 15-second animation test and a 15-minute pilot episode were produced.
