YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BARKING TO BREAK A WORLD RECORD…BUT YOUR DOGS DO!
Disney attempts the world's loudest bark to mark the release of Bolt on Blu-ray and DVD
Dog owners across the country are being urged to “bolt” down to London 's Finsbury Park next Monday, 15 June, to help set a new Guinness World record for the loudest bark in history.
Disney is attempting the record to mark the Blu-ray and DVD release of Bolt – the canine super dog with a supersonic bark – which is available to buy on the same day.
Hundreds of dogs are needed to turn fiction into fact by recreating Bolt's super bark - which bellows in all its thunderous glory on the high-definition Blu-ray disc which not only delivers five times the picture quality of DVD but also unbelievable sound.
The current record holders are based in the US . Last September, 224 dogs in Shelbourne , Vermont , achieved a collective bark of 111 decibels. Now the Brits are biting back!
And who better to ensure the record is accurate than the top dog at Guinness World Records. Marco Frigatti, H ead of Global Records Management and adjudicator on TV's Guinness World Records Smashed, will be on hand to hopefully confirm the event a howling success.
To take part, dog owners should e-mail superbark@wired.uk.com . Full details will be sent to anyone who registers and everyone participating on the day itself will be rewarded with a soft toy of Rhino – the movie's much-loved hamster character – and an official certificate.
Academy Award nominated BOLT (2008, Best Animated Feature Film) is the first Disney feature to be conceived and produced under the guidance of Oscar ® -winning director John Lasseter - the studio's Chief Creative Officer and the brains behind Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Cars.
Voiced by two times Academy Award nominee John Travolta, Bolt is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood . The only problem is, he thinks the whole thing is real. When the super dog is accidentally shipped to New York City and separated from Penny - voiced by Miley Cyrus - his beloved co-star and owner, Bolt springs into action to find his way home.
Together with his hilarious new sidekicks Rhino – Bolt's #1 Fan – and a street-smart cat named Mittens , Bolt sets off on an amazing journey where he discovers he doesn't need super powers to be a hero. Don't miss Bolt's great adventure when it is released on Disney Blu-ray and DVD 15 June.
