La Película de los Teleñecos

La Película de los Teleñecos is the Spanish Castilian dub of The Muppet Movie in Spain.

The movie was first released on June 15, 1981 in Cartago and Vergara Madrid Cinemas. It was distributed by Filmayer, a now-defunct company who also distributed many Disney movies.

This movie was originally released in Spain with the original 1979 Latin Spanish dub, which was common for a majority of dubbed movies at the time. Two Castilian dubs were produced, one using the same cast as the 1993 Latin Spanish re-dub and a second in 1999 for VHS only.

Releases[]

In 1993, the movie was released for the first time on VHS in Spain with a new title, Los Teleñecos van a Hollywood: La Película (The Muppets Go To Hollywood: The Movie). It was released by Jim Henson Video and manufactured by Disney. It features the same cast as the 1993 Latin dub, only with the names changed.^[1]

In 1999, Columbia TriStar Home Video released the movie on VHS with a new dub and used the original release title, La Película de los Teleñecos. Interestingly, both the instrumental and vocal tracks are at erroneous pitches, with the voices at a noticeable higher pitch during the songs. This re-dub was only used for this release.

In 2005, Disney launched the movie in a Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition, recalling it by the Disney name included in the 1993 VHS.

In 2012, Walt Disney Home Entertainment re-released the movie on DVD as part of the Los Muppets: La Coleccion series of classic Muppet movies to promote the DVD release of Los Muppets.
