In a video posted online Friday morning by Disney Parks, Cast Members can be seen rehearsing for the new show which draws its inspiration from PIXAR’s Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. A few things are the same and a few things are wonderfully different in the new stage show adaptation of the timeless tales of Nemo and Dory.
Take a look:

The new show features some amazing props, including a 32-foot-long sunken submarine and a tank that stands nearly 15 feet tall! The show also features some new songs, but a couple of the songs have been kept from the original show that features cleverly-camouflaged Cast Members alongside massive PIXAR puppets.
