The new look & LED screen really is the cutest. I can’t make it make sense artistically but I think it’s super cute and fills the stage more than it used to.
So, I watched this, and I have a few pros and cons. First off, this version wasn’t terrible at all, and I enjoyed a good amount of it, but I was very delighted as well as disappointed with certain changes. I miss the Crush preshow in the beginning as it was filled with audience participation, which Disney refuses to do now. The idea of the narrations make it flow but it’s also incredibly rushed. The original show was more of a Broadway show and that’s what I loved about it. 25 minutes seems fair to a theme park length but I loved the original so much, that many of the changes either were necessary or just not my cup of tea. The visuals are fantastic, the music rearrangement is also great but lacks the feel that the original had. Very few set-pieces make it look cheap, but it still seems like that for many instances, they tried to tie in with the previous show. I am also grateful that all of the songs remained there. I was NOT happy with Just Keep Swimming being shortened however. The original had an identity, this did too but not as much as how it was before. I also miss the Jellyfish, the Coral scene, Nigel and Squirt flying, I’ll just have to wait to see this in person to get my final opinion in.
Okay, here’s my thoughts. First the good: All the performers brought their “A” game and I was beyond thrilled to see familiar faces back in the cast that made me fall in love with this show in the first place. I also really liked the updated set pieces and the use of screens which gave a much needed update. I even really liked the new Squirt puppet. ☺️ Now the not-so-good… I absolutely HATE narration type shows with a passion. To me, it’s lazy storytelling and Disney World already does it in other shows on site such as the Frozen Sing-a-long and the Beauty and the Beast attractions in Magic Kingdom and Epcot; we didn’t need yet another. But my biggest complaint is that all the wonderful little tender, dramatic and funny moments that made that show what it was are gone. The opening scene with Coral, a large chunk of the moments between Marlin & Nemo, Marlin comforting Dory after the jellyfish, the word spreading through all the animals that Marlin was coming… Not to mention the complete cutting of the “We Swim Together (Reprise)” which was probably the nail in the coffin for me. Long comment short, while I’m glad to see this show and its awesome cast come back in at least some form, I don’t see myself hurrying to see it in person any time soon and will stick with my original soundtrack and videos of the show in its previous version.
the issue with doing a broadway style show in a themepark is time. no one is going to sit for more than 30 minutes to watch a show at a themepark, so narroration is necessary in order to tell a cohesive story without it being completely original.
@@Bowling_Dude Not exactly. They didn't really have this problem, the show was still able to last for 13 years! That's a long time, so people didn't mind that the show was over 30 mins long. Besides, this was one of their shorter Broadway style shows in the parks. Aladdin at DCA was about 45 Mins or so, and Frozen at DCA was basically an hour long show! These two shows also lasted for quite some time, so I don't think the length was really all that much of an issue for a majority of people who went to see it.
@@regularjosh1 watch Kyle Pallos video on the show. it has everything to do with time. it's the same with cruise ship shows, they have to be compressed down to accomidate for the people watching. and the only way you can conpress a show is with narroration which keeps the show moving.
@@Bowling_Dude If you see any of the shows on their cruise ship, they were still longer than what Finding Nemo was. The show was meant to be a Broadway style musical, which is gonna be longer than a standard theme park show. Again, I don't think many people really had an issue with the show's length. Disney would've tried to shortened the show way earlier in it's 13 year run if that was the case. The problem with them cutting the show down to 25 mins is that they did it pretty sloppily. It doesn't tell the story of Finding Nemo as well anymore because there's moments that are completely gone now. Even with the narration, it's just incredibly rushed now.
@@regularjosh1 check out Kyle Pallo's vlog on the show. that's a good gauge of what the genpop thinks about the show. This is also coming from an industry professional with 15 years of entertainment experiance. the length is key to a show sucess.
As always, Craig, great video! I miss the side props, but very glad to see familiar faces!! Can't wait to see it in person...then I will make a real judgement call.
@@MegaSoulHero and let’s not forget about the part where Gill explains the escape plan during We Swim Together. Since they cut that part off the song in this version I’m worried that people who haven’t seen the movie will get lost while watching the show
@@jamesgeorgi6627 Another thing they cut was Nigel, as well as the rest of “Just Keep Swimming” which was magnificent. Also the EPIC reprise of “We Swim Together” at the end.
I'm so happy this is back. BIG blue world beings me to tears every time thinking about that trepidation I had have with my own kids sending them out into this big blue world. 💙
@@2railnation yeah. The original background of Finding Nemo: The Musical was a childhood memory, but sometimes, Walt Disney imagineers have ways to make an attraction better.
@@coleruttley2631 They removed 20% of the practical effects and replaced them with screens. Then removed the acrobatics to reduce it to 30min. Everything else is the same.
To all the haters... Was this Hamilton? Of course not! But who is the target audience? And is this in an air-conditioned theater? And will I be able to sit down for 30 minutes? Holy crap, you just can't please some people!
I think it looks like a good show. I actually loved the old version, but it was divisive. A lot of people thought it was too long. So I understand the change.
Why can't the other three Orlando Disney parks have shows the same quality as Animal Kingdom? Festival of the Lion King and Nemo are such fantastic shows! The best show at EPCOT and MK have no live actors and while Indiana Jones at Studios is good, it's really dated. Magic Kingdom really needs that large theater...
Animal Kingdom still has the best entertainment out of all four parks. Even though this new reimagined Nemo doesn’t really compare to the original, with a few changes being either good or bad, it’s still great for what it is. Also, MK has Magical Friendship Faire, but all humans are lip-synching, while shows at AK and even the Studios have singers singing live.
At the end of the day these shows are structured and programmed for ages 3-9. I think this was the perfect reimagination for this show. It still has all of the music that we know and love, values of a Broadway show, and spectacle. A fun and fast compact musical experience is perfect for the theme park day.
Basically all they did was make this show covid-friendly. Fewer actors on stage and shorter run-time could potentially save the show from another long-term closure from a covid outbreak in the cast. This was their best attempt (and perhaps only option) at preservation of the show while keeping the actors safe. The only problem is that the original show was already such a drastically condensed version that this incarnation is too fast and explains too little. For those unfamiliar with its predecessor, this is a gross defamation of the source material.
Do u think that those who haven’t seen the movie will easily get lost when watching this version? I bring this up because unlike the original show we don’t see Gill explaining his escape plan
Reimagined means they took a lot of effects and story out of the show and cut the time down, rushing the performance... No more Crush preshow in the beginning as it was filled with audience participation, no rigging effect like Dory and Marlin swimming, no Squirt on a bungee, Nigel is gone O_O!, no net scene, and more.... Reimagined means less show, less props and practical effects, and more projection backdrops.

I'm glad it's back, but it looks like 1/2 of the performers are missing. Do they not come into the aisle anymore? Or was it just the angle?
It was mainly the angle, but they don't have the performers in the aisle at the finale anymore. They still do it throughout the show though.
