Nick Jr.'s "Dora the Explorer" will kick off its upcoming season with a week of episodes featuring an all-new voice-over cast, marking the first time since the show's inception in 2000 that the cast has been altered.

"The motivation was practical more than anything else," Teri Weiss, senior vice president of production and development for Nickelodeon Preschool TV, told the Daily News. "Our cast has just gotten too old for their parts. We feel lucky that the show has been such a success that we had to find new kids."

New Jersey-born newcomer Caitlin Sanchez is set to fill the role of Dora.

"When I first found out I was going to be Dora, I couldn't believe it," Sanchez, 12, said. "I loved watching 'Dora' when I was younger, and my little sister watches it now. She can't wait to watch the new episodes in September."

1. My kids are too old for Dora now, but for the sake of parents with younger kids -

I hope the new Dora voice is much less irritating than the old one.

2. Tell me she doesn't shout...

My kid doesn't watch Dora anymore, thank goodness. Her voice was as obnoxious as Palinocchio's.
