Finding nemo:the musical

we watched this show years ago and actively disliked everything about it....

First recollections include-

The terribly uncomfortable seating
The length of the show
Being able to see the 'hidden' artistes on the stage

So; do we give it another try?
Do others enjoy?

 

It hasn’t changed, and plenty of others enjoy it. Obviously up to you.

 

I hated it. I like mostly everything at WDW, but I thought that show was awful. The theatre having air-conditioning was its only redeeming quality.

 

Time at WDW is way too precious to waste on things you already know you don’t like.

 

DH and I hadn't done this show since 2009 so we decided to give it a try earlier this year, and all that I can say is that my back was killing me for the rest of the day (ROL later that night didn't help either). I don't usually have an issue with seating and being uncomfortable, but the seating in that theater was not kind to my back, we won't be going back anytime soon.

 

I don't think that there is any attempt to "hide" the performers.
We enjoy the quality of the singing and the afternoon break in the AC. Is it Disney's best show? No. Those would be Hunchback at DHS and Aladdin at Disneyland. But it's worth the time to sit, relax and cool off.

 

As others have noted, nothing has changed with that show. If you didn't like it then, you're probably not going to like it now unless your preferences have changed.

 

OP based on your post, I would suggest that you skip it, since it's the same show you disliked the first time. We have seen the show a handful of times and like it, we like the giant puppets and the singing, one of the shows the guy playing crush had a great voice. Seats reminded me of stadium seats and we had no issues with them. As Magic_Man mentioned, the show is not trying to hide the performers.

 

Not that is going to make you like it but the performers are not supposed to be hidden. They are supposed to be seen

We love the show and applaud the creativity. If it's not for you I say don't go back

 

We thought it was great... All the issues that the OP had, I didn't encounter: seats seemed fine, length OK (glad it wasn't longer though), and I liked how they did the puppets and though it was creative...

But if you don't like it, don't spend the time there. Plenty of other stuff to do/see...

 

This.

I love it and am so sad it's going to be closed when I'm there over Presidents' Week.

But if you don't like it, don't torture yourself.

 

I really like it! I have the CD of the show and listen to it and sing along sometimes. I actually like the show better than the movie!

 

I really liked it the first time. It was neat to see the performers handle being puppeteers and live musical theater performers at the same time. I thought a lot of the puppets were really cool too. As you say, very creative.

Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t hold up well. After 3 viewings in three trips I really need a break from it. OP, I agree with others that there’s no reason to go if you didn’t like it.

 

I love it myself, seen it 3 times.

 

Skip it. Worst show on property.

 

Watch it on Youtube and decide.

 

I only see it if I have done everything at AK and time to kill. I’m more of a “show” person at Disney Theme Parks. I would rather see two showings of Festival of the
Lion King than see the Nemo Musical. I do say that the Nemo Musical is very creative and done well. I don’t like every song in that musical, but I like a few of the songs.

Like others have said...OP...It’s really up to you to decide if you want to devote the time to see it.

 

Go back and give it a try. Maybe you'll appreciate it better now. As others have said, it isn't a mistake that the puppeteers can be seen - it's a wonderful part of the show.

 

I really liked that show and look forward to seeing it again this summer. To each his own. If you don’t like it, skip it. One extra seat for my group.

 

I do agree, while we like and enjoy the show it is not one we see every trip. I won't ever hold a candle to Lion King.

We go often and I actually find that skipping some shows every few trips makes us appreciate them more the next time. There's not much we see every trip
