Lakeland, FL August 4, 2004 -- The Academy Award®-winning Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo is coming to hometowns across the country like never before in a brand-new, imaginative Disney On IceSM production, premiering September 3, 2004 in Lakeland, Florida.
Beginning this September, Disney On Ice presents Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo will reel audiences down under into the breathtaking aquatic world to join the curious, "lucky"-finned clownfish Nemo, his overprotective father Marlin and their absent-minded yet lovable pal Dory in a comical journey of friendship and ocean-sized fun.
As they are visually immersed under the water, audiences will encounter the "super-dude" turtles Crush and Squirt; the hilarious trio of vegetarian sharks Bruce, Chum and Anchor; and the eclectic Tank Gang from the dentist's aquarium who each play their own part in Nemo and Marlin's adventurous quest to reunite.
Colorful scenic elements and creative lighting effects will enhance the audiences' feeling of submersion by giving the illusion of depth as well as the perspective of a vibrant and expansive ocean. With the complement of colorful costumes, and numbers ranging from a classical jellyfish ballet to a precision skating school of moonfish, Disney On Ice translates the revolutionary CG blockbuster hit into an equally stunning three-dimensional production.
"Disney On Ice presents Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo is our most innovative show ever," says Producer Kenneth Feld. "Audiences will be amazed by our depiction of the underwater world, as we bring all of the humor and adventure underneath the Great Barrier Reef to life in a visual masterpiece that will 'wow' everyone in the entire family."
To develop this production, Feld assembled the talents of an elite creative team, overseen by Creative Director Jerry Bilik, consisting of:
