'Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!'

[FantasiaMickey2000]

Our good insiders admit when their info is wrong. Even better, they tell us when Disney has changed things.

The proprietor of that other site almost never admits he was wrong and throws a fit when it's point out.

There's your difference.

That’s fair enough. I admit that I only browse this site, that site, blog Mickey (can you reference that one here?) for news. I don’t have a vested stake in following the people who run them. I only really know anything about them because of people ranting about them on here.

It objectively did/does.

Is that controversial?

Oh, it was. Went on for a few pages with some insisting there were no back until I posted the kind of pictures you just did.

Take it as you will…although it’s weird that Chapek would “personally” dictate how the new revised show will go, so doesn’t seem as likely.

There is absolutely zero chance that the CEO of the Walt Disney Company is making operational decisions this miniscule.

I imagine, and this is based on zero inside information, just my assumption, that the new show will be about ten minutes shorter and probably feature a smaller cast. Possibly with less aerial work.

They could easily go the Mermaid and BatB route and use puppeteers with only a couple of live singers (Nemo, Dory, and Marlin?).

Cool story, bro. Where's Swotu Waya?

I had the same thought. Mermaid runs (or ran) almost constantly, rather than a limited number of times a day. Perhaps if they reduce the number of live singers to cut the costs per show, they'll run it more often. Huge theater, though, so they probably don't need constant showings.

Crush.

Crush.

Forgot about him, good point.

All I can say is that I hope it is a lot better than the old version, that stunk.

 

[Jon81uk]

Am I the only one who didn't find the current version to play to packed houses? Most times when we went there were still plenty of seats in the upper sections. Unless we were the abnormalities I don't see a benefit to cutting the show length and packing more shows in.

We liked it as is, our DS always enjoyed it.

They may think that a 20-30 minute show will be more appealing than a 40 minute one. So it might not play more times a day, but just the shorter format appeals to more families.

"WE WANT NEW STUFF"

*new stuff*

"WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT"

New stuff in a park that has plenty of space for expansion rather than replacing the old stuff with mediocre new stuff.

 

[ToTBellHop]

No issues on this from me. People always think the worst of Disney. I wish Nemo the best in rehab as he works to better himself.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Seems tight on space for Ta Lo, but an interesting idea. That being said, it reminded me too much of Pandora. I prefer the Indiana Jones suggestion from years ago

I want Trevor Slattery in the parks, is that too much to ask?

 

[RSoxNo1]

The other site will claim they didn't lie. Well, "Finding Nemo: The Musical" is closed forever to be replaced by a new show.

That's exactly what they did.

I don't know why you had to make this political.

 

[mightynine]

I'm looking forward to a big screen installed for Finding Nemo: The Musical: The Singalong! Open your My Disney Experience app to see Nemo, Dory and friends through augmented reality and use Snapchat filters to make it feel like you're right in The Big Blue World!*

*AR and Snapchat filters available via Genie+ purchase only. Annual Passholders may lean over to look at someone else's phone or use their imagination at no extra charge. Park Pass Reservation required.

New stuff in a park that has plenty of space for expansion rather than replacing the old stuff with mediocre new stuff.

Most people would agree that live shows need to be periodically updated to remain "fresh". The quality of the replacement is obviously yet to be determined (it will probably be shorter so that may be "worse" depending on your point of view) but changing a theater performance is something Disney should be doing with some frequency.

They need to turn their attention to DHS for such things as well.

40 minutes is a long show for littles. Especially in a park that many people still deem a half-day park.

While he wasn’t CEO yet he didn’t want any equity in Star Wars land so it does seem to be something he cares about for some strange reason.
