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.

User Upload Caption: On June 13, 2022, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will debut “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!” marking the freshly reimagined return of one of its most popular musical entertainment experiences. This fully updated, 25-minute stage show incorporates 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.
