The big blue world beckons once again as “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!” prepares to debut on June 13 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The freshly reimagined return of this popular entertainment experience invites guests to discover the undersea world that charmed audiences around the world in the Disney and Pixar smash-hit film "Finding Nemo" as it comes to life on stage.

‘Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…And Beyond!’ debuts next week at Animal Kingdom!

Another big show is reopening in Disney World. The original “Finding Nemo: The Musical” theatrical show at Animal Kingdom has been closed down since the parks closed down for the pandemic. The large blue theater has sat empty right between Expedition Everest and Dinoland, USA, for way too long.

But not for much longer! Disney has announced that in less than a week, on June 13, a newly-imagined show “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…And Beyond” will debut and fill the theater will guests excited to get out of the heat and into a live show like none other.

This fully updated, 25-minute stage show will have live performers and puppets, along with many favorite production numbers from the original “Finding Nemo: The Musical.” In addition to a new script, the show features new set pieces with a fresh look, and a new LED video wall designed to visually extend the world created by the physical sets on stage – such as a 32-foot-long sunken submarine and a 15-foot-tall fish tank volcano.
