*** The Pep talk will be different with The Chocolate Tree gives Dora the teenager advice and Boots encouraging her to save her parents by telling her about all of the adventures they had together and the reason Boots befriended Dora was because he saw a great explorer in her.
*** There will be a bunch of flashbacks to previous Dora episodes throughout the movie when Dora and her friends return to various locations from the series and remembering past adventures and the villains.
*** El Mago and Swiper's father serve as dark reflections on Swiper's petty criminal, mischievous swiping and causing Swiper to fully character develop to not swipe from his friends again and just swipe from the villains and El Mago is more villainous than he was in the show.

*** The movie would also end if Dora and her friends with the audience via kid voices doing the asking what their favourite parts of the trip are. The characters say "We couldn't have discovered Parapata and saved the rainforest and my parents without you. Thanks for helping. Gracias." Boots and Dora say also "We have come to the happy ending of our story and the franchise for now. It's time for all of us to go home and say goodbye." The kids respond with "No wait. Can we go back to the first episode and do the series all over again." Dora replies "Sorry everyone but all franchises got to have an ending you know but don't worry, this story will be the start of a new chapter and the start of a new series starring us and featuring new future adventures." as the blue cursor clicks on them.
* DNA Productions would stay open and wouldn't be involved with The Ant Bully.
* The Fairly OddParents would be considered Nickelodeon's top-rated show after the show's ending, being then followed by Avatar: The Last Airbender, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Legend of Korra, The Loud House and Glitch Techs.
* While The Fairly OddParents seasons featuring Poof would still exist, the live-action movies, the last two seasons featuring Sparky and Chloe, Fairly Odder, and A New Wish wouldn't exist at all.
** And neither would Bunsen is a Beast and The Fairly Odd Phantom.
* Steve, Magenta, Green Puppy, Sidetable, Mailbox, Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Cinnamon, Shovel, Pail, and the Felt Friends would appear in Blue's Room.
* The Nickelodeon compilation DVDs would have changes.
** On Nick Picks 1...
*** "Ugh" would be replaced with "Culture Shock" and "F.U.N.", since SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star are on the cover and they barely get any screentime in "Ugh".
*** "The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour" would be replaced with "Jimmy on Ice".
*** "Hostile Makeover" would be replaced with "It Came from Next Door", due to Jenny's violent behavior in the former MLAATR episode.
** On Nick Picks 2...
*** "I'm With Stupid" would be replaced with "MuscleBob BuffPants".
*** "Splitting Images" would be replaced with "Mystery Meat".
** On Nick Picks 3...
*** "Twistory" would be replaced with "The Big Problem".
** On Nick Picks 5...
*** Mr. Meaty's "Parkerina" would be replaced with Rugrats' "Dil Saver", due to the former show's negative reception.
**Nickelodeon Animal Friends would be split into two DVDs, Nicktoons Animals and Nick Jr. Animal Friends.

****[Rocko's Modern Life episode]
****[My Life as a Teenage Robot episode]
***On Nick Jr. Animal Friends
****"ABC Animals" would be replaced with "Meet Diego", due to the former Dora the Explorer episode feeling like it's more fitting for the alphabet-themed compilation DVD than the animal-themed one.
* More Nick Picks, Nick Jr. Favorites, and Teenick Picks DVDs would be released.
* After the series finale of iCarly, the channel's live-action schedule would be gradually axed as a way to focus exclusively on animated content and provide stronger competition to Cartoon Network rather than Disney Channel.
** As a result, future live-action sitcoms would be produced instead for TeenNick.
** Despite that, Henry Danger and The Thundermans still exist, yet as animated and without Dan Schneider's involvement.
*** However, due to it, most of its characters would be voiced by voice actors instead.
** The only exceptions are the All That and Are You Afraid of the Dark? revivals.
** Due to mainly being whitewashed, relied too much on toilet humor, and seen as cash grabs, the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender film, Planet Sheen, Baby Shark's Big Show, and Baby Shark's Big Movie wouldn't exist.
** A few original shows will take places of some of the shows that were terrible or seasons of SpongeBob.
** Nicktoons would be reformatted into a classic Nickelodeon programming channel, meaning NickRewind wouldn't likely exist at all.
