If it hasn't yet, I can't imagine it ever will. "Finding Dory" did well at the box office but it doesn't really have the cultural staying power where they'd gain much with a retheme.
I really think it would make the seas pavilion look and feel so much better. I bet Epcot has plans for the pavilion.
Yeah at this point they should gut the pavilion and completely retheme it.

Smells like feet.

That's a big problem throughout Epcot. It feels the dirtiest of all the Disney parks, especially the carpets throughout Future World.

Great movie but doesn't have the gravitas to carry an Epcot pavilion. IMO.
Of course there is no rule that says the IP can't work in another park.

To be honest it makes the most sense since it’s already Nemo themed. It needs some kind of update and @marni1971 has said there are plans but not yet greenlit.

Please don't read this as a criticism of wall carpet :|

To be expected, considering not one of the fish or aquatic critters has the decency to wear shoes, nor spray a little Febreze after they, you know...It smelled worse than feet....if you know what I mean

Being a saltwater Aquariust myself, the seas is, next to figment, is my favorite spot. From my first experience in 2000 in the hydrolators, to 2012, and 2018s trips for the new one. I guess i miss all the carpet problems, and all that, as im too entralled in the giant hammer colonies, healthy looking giant clams, and secretly wanting to bring some of their smaller reef fish home to my tank. I love love love, and could likely spend an entire day there naming species of reef fish.

Makes sense to me. Maybe a hybrid? Keep the same name. Or name it "The Seas with Nemo and Friends presented by the Marine Life Institute" or something like that. Obviously, theme the inside as actually being inside the Marine Life Institute. Add a squid exhibit with the character nearby. I know there is already a tank of "Nemos". Add a tank for "Dorys". Keep aquariums for manatee, dolphin, and overall sealife the same. But agree that a refurb and deep cleaning wouldn't hurt.

I rode the Nemo ride for the first time recently (for some weird reason my family avoided going to that pavilion growing up), and it just seemed very tired and lackluster. Was able to walk right on. I really hope they refresh it with something good (preferably nothing that only panders to toddlers).

The premise is just wrong. Think about it. The first time, Nemo defies his Dad, gets captured, shipped to Sydney and put into an aquarium in a dentist’s office. Meanwhile, Marlin races across the ocean to save his son defying all sorts of dangers. So Nemo thinks it would be funny to disappear again.

Possibly the so-far unfunded overhaul and expansion of the pavilion.

If only we could go back to an original concept for Seas. Nemo has aged poorly imo, and it’s in need of at least a facelift. Don’t even get me started on those damn fish where the Sunrise mural used to be either, I want to personally rip those things down
