Andreu Buenafuente and Silvia Abril to Voice Boomer and Greta in European Spanish Dub of Nickelodeon Movies' 'Wonder Park'

TV host Andreu Buenafuente and television, cinema and theatre actor and comedian Silvia Abril have been cast in the European Spanish version of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies' upcoming animated family-friendly film, Wonder Park!


Locally titled El Parque Mágico (Sueña a lo grande) in Spain (España), Buenafuente and Abril will voice Boomer the Bear and Greta the Boar, respectively, in the en español dub of the theatrical, set to be released in Spanish cinemas by Paramount Pictures Spain on Friday 12th April 2019.

Additionally, Spanish singer, songwriter, and actor David Bisbal will perform the song "Tú eres la magia" ("You are Magic") on the Spanish soundtrack of the movie.

In the US-English audio track of the movie, Boomer and Greta are being voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell (Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Duckman, Home Alone) and Mila Kunis (Family Guy, A Bad Moms Christmas), respectively.

A tribute to creativity, Wonder Park tells the story of 10-year-old June, a wildly imaginative young girl who builds models of amusements parks with her mother. When her mother falls sick and has to go away for treatment. June packs away her models, and loses her sense of wonder. But one day in the woods, in a magical moment, she discovers a roller coaster car buried under ivy. It transports her to a fantasy wonder park, like the ones she used to build, populated by animals who were its past employees. But the park is broken down, abandoned and in a state of decay. With the park’s animals, June sets out to fix it and rediscover her sense of confidence and imagination, overcoming her fears.


The voice talent of the US dub of Wonder Park includes Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Rules Don’t Apply, The Producers) as Dad, Jennifer Garner (Nine Lives, The Tribes of Palos Verdes) as Mom, Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, SNL) as Gus, Ken Jeong (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Bob’s Burgers) as Cooper, Mila Kunis (Family Guy, A Bad Moms Christmas) as Greta, John Oliver (The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, live-action Lion King) as Steve, Sofia Mali as Young June, Brianna Denski (Momsters: When Moms Go Bad) as June, Oev Michael Urbas as Banky, Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline) as Peanut, Kate McGregor-Stewart as Aunt Albertine, Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Tony, Kath Soucie (Rugrats, Hey Arnold!) as Bus Counselor Shannon, and Noen Perez as Chatty Kid. Jeffrey Tambor, who in recent months has been accused of harassment, was replaced on the animated offering last month. He was replaced by Ken Hudson Campbell, who voiced Boomer the Bear.



The PG-rated film was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows) from a story by Applebaum, Nemec, and Robert Gordon. Appelbaum, Nemec, and Kendra Haaland served as producers, with Karen Rosenfelt and Don Hahn executive producing. The studio hasn’t credited the film to a director after the original helmer, first-time director Dylan Brown, was fired in January 2018 following complaints of inappropriate and unwanted conduct.

Wonder Park is set for release in theatres and RealD 3D in the US on March 15th and in 2D and 3D cinemas in the UK on April 8th.

Muralism Celebrates SpongeBob Creator with Mural [Updated w/ Video]

Muralism Celebrates SpongeBob Creator

Artists with special needs, Nickelodeon interns and middle school students complete mural in honor of the late Stephen Hillenburg


LOS ANGELES - December 18, 2018: Nonprofit Muralism.org took to the streets of Los Angeles, California once again, this time to celebrate the life and work of Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Nickelodeon's megahit television series SpongeBob SquarePants, who tragically lost his battle with ALS on Nov. 26.

A mural in Hillenburg’s honor now proudly resides at Roy Romer Middle School in North Hollywood between Sears and at the Valley Plaza Shopping center, a labor of love by Muralism artists with special needs, the 2018 interns at Nickelodeon and the students at Roy Romer Middle School. The students at the middle school worked side by side with the Muralism artists and Nickelodeon interns to complete the 60-by-20-foot mural showing SpongeBob and the whole cast running around a track mirroring the school’s own field. The mural was completed on Dec. 14 after almost two weeks in the making. “It is so exciting to have this beautiful mural featuring the SpongeBob gang teaching us about health and wellness,” said Dr. Luis Rodriguez, principal at Roy Romer Middle School.

Muralism is a nonprofit organization that is committed to beautifying the city of Los Angeles and surrounding areas while providing a safe place for artists with special needs to connect with the community. Each mural is designed by a local muralist. A coloring-book-style drawing is prepared by a team of artists with unique abilities, including those with autism, Down syndrome and ADHD. After the mural is prepared, the community is invited to fill in the painting in a paint-by-number style. The Muralism team comes back in the end to clean up the mural for a professional finish.

Ernie Merlán, founder of Muralism and former executive director at Exceptional Minds, a visual effects and animation school for young adults on the autism spectrum, commented, "Muralism’s goal is to paint 100 murals in Los Angeles before the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles." During the last Olympics in Los Angeles, the city was known as the mural capital of the world. Due to an 11-year moratorium, murals in the City of Angeles fell in disrepair. The Muralism team first came together in 2014 when the North Hollywood neighborhood councils and Paul Krekorian, Councilman District 2, commissioned a huge mural alongside the 170 freeway on Whitsett and Sherman Way. Two hundred volunteers from the community helped paint the mural, including students from Exceptional Minds, four of North Hollywood's neighborhood councils and the Boy Scouts. Councilman Krekorian cut the ribbon on this historical mural as the first mural in the San Fernando Valley after the repeal of the moratorium.

Muralism.org is lining up walls all over Los Angeles to create murals for the community by the community.
