WDWMagic.com has new photos of Finding Nemo the Musical.
In case you aren’t aware, from the press release…
The undersea world that charmed audiences around the world in the Disney-Pixar smash-hit film “Finding Nemo” will come to life in an all-new musical stage show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Preview performances begin in November with the premiere set for January 2007.
Featuring original songs by Tony Award-winning “Avenue Q” co-composer-creator Robert Lopez and a cappella musical “Along the Way” co-creator Kristen Anderson-Lopez, “Finding Nemo-The Musical” will immerse Walt Disney World guests in the story of Marlin and Nemo — an overprotective clownfish father and his curious son — through a dazzling production that combines puppets, dancers, aerialists and animated backdrops.
The visually inventive show represents the first time Disney has taken a non-musical animated feature, as well as the first Pixar film, and transformed it into an original musical production. It will be presented in the newly enclosed 1,500-seat Theater in the Wild, completely redone to accommodate first-class theatrical productions.
WDWMagic.com has heaps more photos, and information, including pictures of the construction of the set. Take a look!

Didn’t you post about this already? Check the archives.
Cars has ended it’s theatrical run. This deserves a post.
Nemo: the Musical on stage is fine, but I’d be really excited to see Pixar challenge themselves with a feature film musical.
They’ve got the buddy-comedy-adventure down pat, admired by all, masters of the domain, so what would you think if you heard the next big project was going to be a big romatic-adventure-comic musical?
It’s been a long time since Disney’s done one, and with the market crowded to the choking point with animal buddy comedies, a classic musical might be the way to grab attention.
