1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Hello, and good morning you too. How are you doing?

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: We are doing great, awesome.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: What is it about the Dora series that continues to

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,119
be such a major league attraction? Is it the beautiful

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,079
art of interacting with the viewers and allowing them to

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,160
feel like that they are part of this journey.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,199
Speaker 3: I think that's part of it. I mean, Dora, you know,

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,120
obviously connects with viewers, and we have a little bit

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,359
of fun with that in our movie. But I think

10
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,759
the bigger, you know, the bigger reason that Dora, that

11
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:38,240
that Dora as a property has endured, is just everything

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,399
that that Dora stands for as a character. You know,

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,679
She's curious, she's optimistic, she's adventurous, and I just kids

14
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,759
love that part of her personality and character and want

15
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:54,039
to want to go with her wherever she goes.

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because I mean even as a grown adult, when

17
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:58,759
I walk through my force here in South Charlotte, I

18
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,399
feel like I'm Dora because I'm always exploring to find

19
00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:03,640
new things, and I swear that she is the influence

20
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:04,640
of me wanting to do that.

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that. Hopefully you don't have

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,719
a fox who's you know, chasing you and failing all

23
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:18,480
this stuff along the way in your backyard. But yeah,

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,840
it's it's a really really special property that people have

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,840
never stopped loving since it premiered twenty years ago.

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Wow wow. And for you guys to put it in

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,480
movie form that is so perfect because we're all looking

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,439
for that escape right now. Every generation is looking for

29
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,760
an escape. And with it being you know, in this

30
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:38,760
role now, it really opens the door for all people

31
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:39,560
to show up.

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: You know, we really wanted the whole family to watch

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,799
this movie.

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: Well, I grew, you know, watching Nora, and I low

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,719
it and I let it. Have a kid who's like

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,079
five who also loves Dora. We are making this movie

37
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:58,840
for everyone, for the foundlists and enjoy We added every

38
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:01,599
little you know details, so everyone kind of enjoyed it,

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,319
from the kids to the families to the teenagers. And

40
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,400
like you said, it's an exciting adventure. I think. I

41
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,800
think the reason people love Dora is who doesn't want

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,159
to be an explorer? You know? And and it's very

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,560
on and it said pieces are a little dangerous, so

44
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,319
that's going to be also resonated with everyone. So it's

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,960
it's an exciting new adventure for Laura.

46
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: One of the things that happens during this movie is

47
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:29,159
the fact that there is a new person playing Dora.

48
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,919
But you know, in watching it, I we didn't need

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,879
to know that. I mean, I just feel like it's

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,159
still Dora. I mean, it's just the way that we've

51
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:38,280
fallen in love with the entire process.

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's amazing. So Samantha Lorrain, the actress who

53
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:47,960
plays Dora, she's literally Dora, like she has that optimism

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,360
and she was always laughing and like we put her

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,719
through everything, you know, fire, moving balls, box on her body, water,

56
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,199
you name it. And then she was still smiling literally

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,159
like Dora right like where she's like, oh yeah, I

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,840
just you know how a bogging on my entire body,

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,919
eye still smiling. And it was such a blessing finding

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,639
her because we went searching everywhere to find these special

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560
actors who played this role, and we could have not

62
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,919
being luckier that she was born at this time and

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,719
it was a perfect time where we're trying to find her.

64
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Adam and Alberto

65
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,759
coming up next. Hey, thanks for coming back to my

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,199
conversation with Adam and Alberto from Dora The Search for

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240
Soul Doroto one of the things that you know, we've

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,479
been talking so much about Dora, but we're forgetting about

69
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,000
Diego and Boots. I mean, oh my god, these two.

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,599
I mean, to me, it's such a trio of adventure.

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,120
We're searching, we're seeking, We're looking for treasures. I mean,

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
soul Dorado is that new place where we're all going

73
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:50,560
to go. I've got to go there. I want to

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,080
be able to find that treasure as well.

75
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:59,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, I know we've been talking about Samantha

76
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,159
as Dora, but Jacob Rodriguez as Diego is another another

77
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,439
huge find. And also, uh, you know, a very physical actor.

78
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:14,759
I mean he won the role because of his physicality

79
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,120
and then the situations that Albert to put him in physically,

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,199
you know, hanging hanging from more ropes and swinging you know,

81
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:30,399
high up in the air over spikes and and he

82
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,839
uh he he was just game for whatever we threw

83
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:37,680
at him, and uh and joy to work with the

84
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:41,800
attire cast. But but I would say Dora and Diego

85
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:47,639
physically had to endure some pretty outrageous situations.

86
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: I think one of the invisible stars here is the Amazon.

87
00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:52,399
I mean, it's just one of those things where it's

88
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,759
like you know, I mean, rainforests are are are you know,

89
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,879
slowly fading from our sites. But you give us that

90
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,519
that picture of going, yes, we we still have to

91
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,519
love our trees. We still have to love all living

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,279
things for sure.

93
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:11,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're shutting a real uh jungle to celebrate the nature.

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,680
You know, like I think, I think right now, like

95
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,439
more and more movies aort of you know, shooting on

96
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,680
Send because it was the shooting and the general ice insane.

97
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,639
So the fact that we got to be able to

98
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,720
do it was such a blessing. And you could feel

99
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:24,680
the energy you know, when you're in the real jungle

100
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,040
that tried to re create these things and the ancient

101
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,160
inca and then being in those places where they were

102
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000
it was it was a special magical for sure.

103
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: There's so much action inside this New Dora. I mean,

104
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:37,519
I just I love the way that you guys can

105
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,600
create that. You know, if it first appears in someone's imagination,

106
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,240
they have to write it and then you guys have

107
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:45,959
to bring it to life and then we experience it.

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know the way that Alberto captured

109
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,759
the tension and the excitement and the danger, you know,

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,000
this movie is really really blew my mind. I mean

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,759
I knew we I knew we had it when we

112
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,439
were shooting it, but then when Alberta shared with me

113
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,120
is cut, it was you know, I I I was

114
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,360
on the edge of my seat.

115
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,519
Speaker 1: Because you really really.

116
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:25,199
Speaker 3: Feel especially in scenes you know where they get buried

117
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,639
with moving walls and and and where they fall off

118
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:39,240
of cliffs, and when they you know when they when

119
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:44,279
you know when when when they have to uh get

120
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:48,360
out of these really tight, precarious situations. I mean, you're

121
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,759
just you're you feel it. You're not just watching it,

122
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,600
You're feeling it.

123
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: Wow, you guys are the wizards behind the curtain. How

124
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,720
do you prep for something like this? I mean that

125
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160
the visionaries that you guys are that you make this

126
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,680
all come together. What is the prep?

127
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: Like?

128
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,519
Speaker 2: The prep I mean, first is finding the locations right,

129
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,279
So we went everywhere as eventually before the movie was

130
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:13,720
in Columbus, so we visited many, many, many different jungles

131
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,160
to try to find that perfect spot. And then after

132
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:20,600
that then we you know, you work with a whole

133
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,639
theme of amazing crew who continue who is like the

134
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,879
DP and Roninsky who is a production designer and to

135
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:30,480
be able to create these world and how do we

136
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,879
use the relocation and make it our own. And then

137
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:37,360
also as the director is really trying to find what's

138
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:41,199
the minium every scene, you know, and then watching a

139
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:42,720
lot of movies, which is my favorite thing, you know,

140
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:45,519
like why you know, get inspired by you know, Indiana

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,600
Jones and the Gonies and so watching all of these movies.

142
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,279
The Mummy is another one, so to get inspired of

143
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:53,560
like that vibe of trying to capture that vibe that

144
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,079
I love so much growing up into this movie.

145
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:58,199
Speaker 1: Well, I am so glad that Nickelodeon has given you

146
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160
a platform for this because once again every age group

147
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,759
is going to fall in love with this because we're

148
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:04,319
all asking, Hey, what do you want to watch? That's

149
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,240
fun today? You've got to get Dora, honest, what you've

150
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,600
got to do?

151
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: Hm?

152
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:09,439
Speaker 3: Love it?

153
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,079
Speaker 1: Wow, guys, you got to come back to this show

00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:22,480
I love your attitude. Oh, it's exactly. The Dora will

157
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:27,000
always be open for you. I love that guy. Be

158
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:27,720
brilliant today.

159
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,639
Speaker 3: Okay, awesome, thank you, thank you for everything.
