Go, Diego, Go!, an animated series for preschool-aged children, is a spin-off of Dora the Explorer. The show premiered on September 6, 2005 on Nickelodeon.
The show features a little boy, Diego Márquez, voiced by Jake T. Austin, who helps animals in danger, mainly in the rainforest. His cousin is Dora from Dora the Explorer, as revealed in the two shows.
He has a jaguar companion named “Baby Jaguar” who assists him on adventures. Baby Jaguar also appears in Dora the Explorer, but on Go, Diego, Go! he takes a more active role which includes being able to speak. It’s unknown whether Diego’s parents let him keep Baby Jaguar as a pet or Baby Jaguar adopted Diego.
Diego is also very ticklish, which is revealed in “Diego Saves Baby River Dolphin”.
Diego is Dora’s older cousin; Dora makes several guest appearances in the series, usually without Boots. Diego’s 11-year-old sister, Alicia, is a computer whiz and also bilingual; she directs the animal rescue calls that come into the center. She also assists Diego in helping the animals they love. Alicia is responsible and kind-hearted, and always kind to her little brother.
Diego’s parents are described as animal scientists; they appear in several episodes but their names are yet to be given. Dora’s dad and Diego’s dad are brothers. There is also one other older sister, Daisy, which makes Alicia a middle child, who only appears in “The Bobo’s Mother’s Day!” with Diego stating that she is home from college.
In most episodes, Diego hears an animal’s cry for help at his rainforest Animal Rescue Center. With help from his friends, gadgets, and viewers at home, he sets out to rescue the animal.
