While we don’t know too many details about the new show yet, Disney has described “Finding Nemo Musical – The Big Blue & Beyond” as a “reimagined show, based on the same beloved characters.”
The show takes place during the events of the film “Finding Dory” and it will be set inside the Marine Life Institute. That likely makes it a sequel to the original show.
So that means they aren’t going to be just re-telling the story from “Finding Dory,” but instead will create an entirely new story, unique to the Animal Kingdom show.
For many years the Animal Kingdom was only a half-day park, but in recent years it had firmly moved into full-day park territory if you really wanted to experience all the exhibits, rides, and shows.
