DMG Presents La Maga

BUENOS AIRES, October 3: La
Maga, a new co-production from
Dori Media Contenidos, Illusion Studios and Nickelodeon Latin America that is
based on The Wizard of Oz, will
be showcased by Dori Media Group (DMG) for buyers from across the world at
MIPCOM Jr.

La Maga combines live action with 3-D digitization,
creating a parallel world that is based on the famous book by L.F. Baum. The
telenovela tells the story of Dorana, a young girl who lives a harsh existence.
One night, Dorana is magically transported to the land of Oz, where she learns
that she has been chosen to protect the kingdom from the tyranny of a wicked
witch.

Nickelodeon Latin America
is set to debut the series on October 13, airing Monday through Friday at 8
p.m.

Michal Nashiv, the CEO and
president of Dori Media, commented: “This possibility of showing the public the
first images of La Maga fills
us with great pride, and, at the same time, gives us a lot of expectations to
what the reaction of the audience will be. La Maga is very unique in the telenovela business due to
the mix between real characters and animation in the highest possible standard.
La Maga is another step in Dori
Media Group efforts to reach and touch its most loyal audience, the young audience.”
