Disney World has a lot of changes going on nowadays!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom might not be slated for any new attractions like Magic Kingdom or EPCOT, but one show in the park is set to get a significant reimagining! Earlier this year, Disney announced the Finding Nemo Musical would be reimagined, and now we have more details!
Today at Destination D23, Disney revealed further details about the changes coming to the Finding Nemo Musical. Previously, Disney revealed that the reimagined show will feature NEW story material, but will keep some fan-favorite songs like “In The Big Blue World” and “Go with the Flow.”

The new musical will be called Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond and will take place during the events of the movie Finding Dory, which means it will be set in the Marine Life Institute. So it’s basically a sequel to the original show — you’ll be able to catch up with characters since then.

The reimagined show debuts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in 2022 and we can’t WAIT to see it! As always, stay tuned to DFB for more of the BIG news from Disney World!

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney to attend Destination D23. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.

So they have been closed all this time thinking intently on how to change the musical to Finding Dory. I suppose it would have taken longer to come up with an original thought.
Will it still use puppets? Any guess on when it will open? We’ll be there in August!!
John, I think we have to wait and see if the show still contains puppets as well as when it will open. We will report as soon as we know!
