'Dora y la Ciudad Perdida' Now Available on DVD and Blu-ray in Spain

Dora y la ciudad perdida (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) is available to own on DVD and Blu-ray now in Spain (España)!


From No es cine todo lo que reluce:

‘Dora y la ciudad perdida’: Reportaje fotográfico y análisis del Blu-ray

Desde el 15 de enero está a la venta en DVD y Blu-ray Dora y la ciudad perdida (Paramount Pictures, 2019), y gracias a Sony Pictures Home Entertainment os ofrecemos el análisis y un reportaje fotográfico de la edición en Alta Definición de esta aventura con la que los más pequeños lo pasarán en grande y los mayores sacaremos el niño que llevamos dentro.

El primer largometraje de acción real de Dora conserva el colorido mundo de la queridísima serie animada de Nickelodeon Dora, la Exploradora, añadiéndole grandes dosis de acción trepidante y ofreciéndonos una protagonista excepcional: Isabela Moner (Transformers: El último caballero) da vida a una Dora ya adolescente que se enfrenta a nuevos retos, pero que sigue siendo la misma chica inteligente, bondadosa y aventurera de siempre.

Tras haber pasado casi toda su vida explorando la jungla, Dora se traslada a la ciudad para estudiar en el instituto. Mientras trata de hacerse un hueco en las aulas, Dora recibe una terrible noticia: sus padres (interpretados por Eva Longoria y Michael Peña) han desaparecido misteriosamente mientras buscaban una antigua ciudad perdida hecha de oro.

Dora debe entrar en acción y reunir a un grupo de valientes para salvar a sus padres: su inseparable mono Botas, su primo Diego, un misterioso habitante de la jungla y un desorganizado grupo de compañeros de clase. Prepárate para una aventura llena de emoción en la que Dora y sus viejos y nuevos amigos atraviesan la jungla, escapan de malvados cazadores de tesoros y resuelven enigmas milenarios para desentrañar el misterio de una civilización inca ancestral.

Edición:

La edición Blu-ray de Dora y la ciudad perdida está presentada en el clásico estuche azul con el póster de la película en la portada, mientras que la contraportada nos presenta una selección de imágenes de la misma junto a los datos técnicos, artísticos y sinopsis. En el interior nos encontramos el disco Blu-ray sin ninguna ilustración y tan sólo el título en versión original y parte de su contenido.

Imagen y sonido:

El disco Blu-ray de Dora y la ciudad perdida nos presenta la película con una relación de aspecto de 1.78:1, es decir, llenando casi por completo la pantalla de televisión, sin apenas grosor en las franjas negras superior e inferior. La imagen nos traslada al mundo brillante y colorido de la protagonista, con un gran nivel de detalle, desde los rostros de los protagonistas hasta los detalles de la jungla. El nivel de detalle también sobresale en el vestuario, el cual mantiene los colores originales y a los que nos tiene acostumbrados Dora. Como el oro forma parte del título en versión original, obviamente se muestra reluciente y con gran nivel de contraste en la película, manteniendo uniformidad y naturalidad en los tonos de piel.

A nivel sonoro, el Blu-ray incluye la pista en versión original Inglés en Dolby Atmos, mientras que el resto de pistas, entre las que se incluye el Castellano, están en Dolby Digital Surround 5.1. En general, los canales de sonido están muy bien usados para generar la sensación de estar dentro de la jungla, jugando mucho con los canales laterales para los efectos sonoros, y aunque la jungla tenga mucha actividad, se separan muy bien los diálogos. La banda sonora instrumental está muy bien definida, incrementando la sensación de acción en algunas escenas.

Características técnicas Blu-ray:

- Audio: Inglés Dolby Atmos; Castellano, Francés, Alemán, Húngaro, Italiano, Polaco, Portugués Brasileño y Ruso Dolby Digital Surround 5.1.

- Subtítulos: Inglés, Castellano, Danés, Holandés, Finés, Francés, Alemán, Islandés, Italiano, Noruego, Polaco, Portugués, Portugués brasileño, Rumano, Ruso y Sueco.

- Película en alta definición, pantalla Full Frame (1.78).

- Duración: 102 minutos.

Contenido adicional:

La edición Blu-ray incluye los mismos extras del DVD, pero que complementan muy bien a la película, destacando las tomas falsas y las escenas eliminadas:

-- Tomas falsas (0:02:12). Numerosas escenas cortas en las que destacan las tomas donde los actores no pueden contener la risa.

-- Escenas extendidas y eliminadas (0:12:35). Amplia selección de escenas extendidas y eliminadas, en las que hace gracia ver las que incluyen efectos digitales sin terminar dado que no entraron en el montaje final. Prestad atención al mono Botas sin finalizar o las serpientes “de peluche”:

- Dora odia las tareas
- Música Rave
- Parada para el baño
- Hora de acostarse
- Compañeros de hamaca
- Marcadores en el mapa
- Alejandro cree que se han perdido
- Siguen el camino correcto
- Randy está enamorado
- Discurso de zorro
- Abuelita cantando y bailando en los créditos finales

--Todo sobre Dora (0:08:40). Vídeo detrás de las cámaras en el que vemos con más detalle el trabajo de caracterización y la actualización del mundo de Dora a imagen real.

-- ¿Sabes decir “película”? (0:04:33). Este corto repasa la presencia de Eugenio Derbez, con el actor compartiendo sus reacciones durante las escenas de acción y sus momentos favoritos de la película, con director y reparto hablando de él.

-- Dora en la visión de las flores (0:04:16). Nos muestran con más detalle cómo fue la realización de la secuencia animada a mitad de película, en la que los personajes se convierten de nuevo en personajes animados, en clara alusión a la conocida serie.

-- La casa de la jungla de Dora (0:03:45). Extra presentado por Isabela Moner, quien realiza un recorrido por la Casa de Dora, con el diseñador de producción Dan Hennah y la decoradora de escenarios Kathryn Lim compartiendo sus visiones creativas para el proyecto.

Visiting the Set of 'Hey Dude' in Tucson, Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. — If you were in kid in the late 80's you may recognize the theme song from Nickelodeon's Hey Dude.


The show premiered on Nickelodeon more than thirty years ago -- and it was all shot in the Old Pueblo.

KGUN9 recently visited the old set of the Bar None Ranch with a member of the production crew. It's located in a secluded, private area of the Tanque Verde Ranch.

"People come to the ranch specifically because they watched Hey Dude growing up," said Terry Hanley, the general manager.

The set certainly has seen better days. The roof has collapsed on some of the buildings and the awnings have caved in. At this point Hanley says it can be a safety hazard.


For David Valdez a walk around the dilapidated set truly is a trip down memory lane. He was part of the production crew. It was his job to help the directors run the show like a well-oiled machine.

"I love the industry so much," Valdez said. "I really did look forward to waking up in the morning and going. As first assistant director, part of your responsibilities is really just organizing the crew for the scenes that are being shot."

Valdez sure has a lot of fun memories from back in the day. He shared photos with KGUN9 from the set and even a blooper reel he put together.


Some of the actors went off to become big stars and writers and it certainly wasn't the first famous show in town.

"During that time period there was quite a bit of production in Tucson," Valdez said. "Film production I should say because of Old Tucson."

Decades later Mother Nature has run it's course on the Hey Dude location. Hanley said it was built for Hollywood and not built to last.

Even after a quick visit, it's easy to see why the views got cameras rolling.


"This is a pretty spectacular part of Arizona and it shows well -- so it truly depicts what ranching is all about," Hanley said.

Years after the last take, Valdez hopes Hey Dude will remind filmmakers of the potential you can find in the Sonoran desert.

"When you come to Tucson to shoot, or in Southern Arizona, you're coming for the landscape," he said. "There's no other place like Tucson and it's surroundings in the world."


Hey Dude was a comedy Western that followed a group of teens working on an Arizona ranch called the Bar None Dude Ranch. From the catchy theme song to the denim-on-denim outfits, the series tackled some important issues while still managing to be funny.


Hey Dude ran on Nickelodeon for five seasons between 1989-1991, totaling 65 30-minute episodes over three years. Hey Dude starred David Brisbin as Mr. Benjamin Ernst, Sr., ranch owner, Kelly Brown as Bradley "Brad" Taylor, a riding instructor from a rich Grosse Pointe, Michigan family, Debra Kalman as Lucy, a ranch hand, David Lascher (Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, Two of a Kind) as Ted McGriff, a senior staff member, Christine Taylor as Melody Hanson, a lifeguard and dance instructor from Allentown, Pennsylvania, Joe Torres as Danny Lightfoot, a Hopi Native American who was cast after auditioning in Tucson for the role, Geoffrey Coy as Kyle Chandler, Lucy's ex-boyfriend's son, Jonathan Galkin as Jake Decker, Mr. Ernst's nephew from Los Angeles, and Josh Tygiel as Benjamin "Buddy" Ernst, Jr., Mr. Ernst's son. Tygiel was one of 120 Tucson-area boys who auditioned for the series. "Hey Dude" was videotaped on location at the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch near Tucson, Arizona. The show was produced by CineTel Films. Casting began in 1988 with local auditions held in Tucson. While most of the show was technically shot on the property of the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, the familiar "ranch" that was known to television viewers was actually built from scratch, roughly a mile away from the main public areas. This was done so ranch guests would not be bothered by the production and to create buildings with a more "western" look, which was not offered by the relatively modern and luxurious Tanque Verde. The main lodge, boys/girls bunks, guest lodge (which doubled as cast dressing rooms) and the stable were all built specifically for the production. After the show wrapped physical production, the buildings were abandoned, with several still standing to this day.

Melissa Joan Hart Reveals Her 'The Casagrandes' Role Made Her a 'Superstar' to Her Kids

Melissa Joan Hart's screen work may have been a staple of your childhood, especially if you grew up in the '90s when she was the teen star of both Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. But when it comes to her own kids, it took a voice role on The Loud House and its spin-off The Casagrandes to finally make her a hero at home.


Hart may be best known for her decades of on-camera roles, but she told TV Guide that she's "always tried to break into" the world of animation. So when the opportunity arose, she pulled a bit of a power move to get a voice role on the Nickelodeon series The Loud House knowing full well how much it might mean to her children.

"I was on call with [Nickelodeon] a while back about maybe rebooting Clarissa, and in that conversation I said, 'Well, I'd really like to be on The Loud House.' My kids love that show," she explained. "I luckily voiced the right character, so I got to be a part of The Casagrandes. ... My kids endlessly endlessly watch Loud House and The Casagrandes, so it's nice to be on something that my kids approve of."

In both The Loud House and The Casagrandes, Hart is the voice of Becca Chang, a zoologist who features prominently in Monday's (Jan. 27) new episode, and her work on the show has earned her major cool cred on the homestead. "They just started watching some Sabrina, but they've never really seen Clarissa. ... They don't want to watch things just because I'm in them, they want to watch them if they like them. And then because I happen to be in this one, I'm just kind of a superstar now in their eyes, finally."

Speaking of Clarissa, Hart revealed that, unfortunately, things are still currently on hold with the revival effort that first began gaining steam in 2018. "It's still on pause," she confirmed. "I don't really know what's going to happen with it, but I'm still hoping that maybe the right time and the right kind of situation arises for it to make a little comeback." Now that she is once again roaming the halls at Nickelodeon for The Casagrandes, perhaps things will come together soon for her to deliver more of Clarissa Darling's clutch life lessons once again.

The Casagrandes airs on Nickelodeon on weekdays at 7/6c on Nickelodeon USA.

Did you hear? Melissa recently reunited with Sabrina the Teenage Witch's Nate Richert (Harvey), David Lascher (Josh) and Elisa Donovan (Morgan)!

In Part Two, "Opening Night", when a friend's disappearance seems to be linked to Rachel's story, the Midnight Society decides to attend the Carnival of Doom. Is it the same carnival from her nightmares? How?

In Part Three, "Destroy All Tophats", with her friends' lives at stake, Rachel decides to take charge and end Mr. Tophat's reign of terror. Will the story have a happy ending, or is the Midnight Society doomed?
