Walt Disney World Reportedly Shuts Down Musical Show for Good - ComicBook.com

Update: Disney Parks confirmed today that while the current version of Finding Nemo: The Musical was ending, a new version would be released in 2022. Cast members involved with the original show were informed that their show was ending, which is what triggered the original reports. The original story can be found below:

Finding Nemo: The Musical has reportedly ended its run at Animal Kingdom. Walt Disney World News Today reports that the musical will not re-open following a lengthy hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like most other live shows, Finding Nemo: The Musical temporarily shut down back in March 2020 during the opening days of the pandemic. However, while Walt Disney World is making plans to re-start many performances and shows, Finding Nemo: The Musical will not be one of them. In fact, the puppets and stage dressing used in the show have reportedly already been removed from the Theater in the Wild, where the musical was held at. Disney has not commented on the shutdown, nor has a replacement show been named.

Finding Nemo: The Musical originally opened in 2006 as an original stage performance featuring puppet versions of Nemo, Marlin, Dory, and other key characters from the 2003 Pixar movie. The show featured 14 original songs composed by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, the duo who wrote the songs of Frozen and The Book of Mormon. The musical ran for about 40 minutes and won an award for Best Live Show from the Themed Entertainment Association. The show also featured puppets by Michael Curry, who also created the puppets for the Broadway version of The Lion King. 

Although Finding Nemo: The Musical is allegedly departing Walt Disney World, the movie is still represented by The Seas With Nemo and Friends, an aquarium-themed attraction at EPCOT, and The Big Blue Pool at the Art of Animation resort, which features set pieces featuring characters from the movie.

Finding Nemo: The Musical is the latest attraction to permanently shut down in the DinoLand U.S.A. area of Animal Kingdom. Earlier this year, Disney Parks filed permits hinting that Primeval Whirl, another ride that shut down during the pandemic, would be permanently going away. Additionally, the River of Lights lagoon show also permanently closed during the pandemic, although it will be replaced by the soon-to-open KiteTails show. Additionally, Disney Parks announced that Expedition Everest would also shut down for a lengthy period next year for a refurbishment.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
