My #170th photo to make Explore
It hit @ #426 when I saw it made Explore
For Throwback Thursday. In June, 2003, our family took our then 2 year old son, Miguel, to see the movie Finding Nemo when it was out in theaters. This was the first movie that he saw in a theater. Here, I'm holding Miguel in front of the posters advertising the show we went to see. (Pic also on Facebook & Instagram)
You can get this brochure very easily by going to the Disneyland Paris website where you can request one for free :)
If you're thinking about getting an AP, I can recommend either ordering it via the form in the brochure or getting one in the park directly. If you order it via the website, you will get a temporary AP, which you will have to exchange in the Disneyland Park (in the Bureau Passeport Annuel). The temporary one will NOT give you any of the privileges attached to the APs, and it's just a world of unneccessary hassle. I had that happen and I can assure you that it really wasn't any fun. So internet order is to be avoided really.

“Seagulls: Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
Nigel The Pelican: Oh would you just shut up? You're rats with wings." - from Finding Nemo
-- Strolling along the quiet beach. It was windy and rainy. Nobody else was around other than hundreds of seagulls. They all seemed to stand facing the same direction, although nothing exciting I could see on that direction. I just loved their curious look which reminded me of the seagulls in Finding Nemo. :)

Clownfish or anemonefish are fishes from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. Twenty-eight species are recognized, one in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion. In the wild they all form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones. Depending on species, clownfish are overall yellow, orange, reddish or blackish, and many show white bars or patches. The largest can reach a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in), while some barely can reach 10 centimetres (3.9 in).
In popular culture, the film Finding Nemo by Disney/Pixar prominently features clownfish as the main characters. (Wikipedia)

Finding Nemo (Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich, 2003) is the fifth full-length animated film by Pixar, distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It tells the story of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin who, along with a regal blue tang named Dory, searches for his missing son Nemo. Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and comes to terms with Nemo taking care of himself. The film was a huge success and received more than thirty awards, including an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Finding Nemo was a huge box-office success worldwide, earning nearly $865 million.
At the beginning of Finding Nemo (2003), the clownfish Marlin and his wife Coralie have just moved to a new anemone in the Great Barrier Reef. Their happiness is short-lived as Coralie and almost all the eggs she had laid are devoured by a barracuda. Only one egg survives. Marlin decides to name the little fish from this egg Nemo, a name that Coralie had thought up. In Latin, the word "nemo" means "nobody" or "no one." It is also a reference to Captain Nemo in Jules Verne's novel '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'. Nemo has one fin that is smaller than normal. His father and he call it Nemo's lucky fin. It is actually a kind of scar from the barracuda's attack. The incident also makes Marlin excessively neurotic and protective of Nemo. When Nemo is older, it is time for him to go to school. The timid Marlin follows Nemo, against his will, to make absolutely sure he is safe. Nemo has clearly had it with his father's behaviour. To prove there is no danger, he leaves the coral reef. However, he is spotted by two divers. One of them catches Nemo in a net and takes him away. Marlin gets over his fear of the open sea to retrieve Nemo. He meets Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. One of the divers has lost his goggles, and Marlin finds them. The address of the diver is written on the goggles. With the help of Dory, who can read, they find out that Nemo is in Sydney now. Dory accompanies Marlin to Sydney on his search for Nemo. The two come across, among other things, three vegetarian sharks, a school of jellyfish, and a group of sea turtles. The latter help them a great deal. Finally, Marlin and Dory are swallowed by a humpback whale that blows them out through the blowhole, which carries them the last mile to Sydney.
The inspiration for Finding Nemo (2003) sprang from multiple experiences, going back to director Andrew Stanton's childhood, when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home. In 1992, shortly after his son was born, he and his family took a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom which was called Marine World at the time. There, after seeing the shark tube and various exhibits, he felt that the underwater world could be done beautifully in computer animation. Later, in 1997, he took his son for a walk in the park but realized that he was overprotecting him and lost an opportunity to have a father-son experience that day. In an interview with National Geographic magazine, Stanton said that the idea for the characters of Marlin and Nemo came from a photograph of two clownfish peeking out of an anemone: "It was so arresting. I had no idea what kind of fish they were, but I couldn't take my eyes off them. And as an entertainer, the fact that they were called clownfish—it was perfect. There's almost nothing more appealing than these little fish that want to play peekaboo with you." In addition, clownfish are colourful, but do not tend to come out of an anemone often. For a character who has to go on a dangerous journey, Stanton felt a clownfish was the perfect type of fish for the character. Pre-production of the film began in early 1997. Stanton began writing the screenplay during the post-production of A Bug's Life. As a result, Finding Nemo began production with a complete screenplay, something that co-director Lee Unkrich called "very unusual for an animated film". The artists took scuba diving lessons to study the coral reef. Stanton originally planned to use flashbacks to reveal how Coral died but realized that by the end of the film there would be nothing to reveal, deciding to show how she died at the beginning of the film. Finding Nemo was the first Pixar film not to be scored by Randy Newman. The original soundtrack album, 'Finding Nemo,' was scored by Thomas Newman, his cousin. The score was nominated for the Academy Award for Original Score, losing to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Finding Nemo (2003) did win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, the first Pixar film to do so. It was also nominated in two more categories, including Best Original Screenplay. Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars, calling it "one of those rare movies where I wanted to sit in the front row and let the images wash out to the edges of my field of vision" Finding Nemo became the highest-grossing animated film at the time of its release, and was the second-highest-grossing film of 2003, earning a total of $871 million worldwide by the end of its initial theatrical run. Demand for tropical fish exploded right after the film's release, especially for clownfish and blue tang. Finding Nemo is the best-selling DVD title of all time, with over 40 million copies sold as of 2006. After the success of the 3D re-release of The Lion King, Disney re-released Finding Nemo in 3D in 2012. A spin-off sequel, Finding Dory, was released in June 2016.

Or, is that just me projecting? Because I hate hearing random clownfish being called "Nemo!"

Their happiness is short-lived as Coralie and almost all the eggs she had laid are devoured by a barracuda. Only one egg survives. Marlin decides to name the little fish from this egg Nemo, a name that Coralie had thought up. In Latin, the word "nemo" means "nobody" or "no one." It is also a reference to Captain Nemo in Jules Verne's novel '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'. Nemo has one fin that is smaller than normal. His father and he call it Nemo's lucky fin. It is actually a kind of scar from the barracuda's attack. The incident also makes Marlin excessively neurotic and protective of Nemo. When Nemo is older, it is time for him to go to school. The timid Marlin follows Nemo, against his will, to make absolutely sure he is safe. Nemo has clearly had it with his father's behaviour. To prove there is no danger, he leaves the coral reef. However, he is spotted by two divers. One of them catches Nemo in a net and takes him away. Marlin gets over his fear of the open sea to retrieve Nemo. He meets Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. One of the divers has lost his goggles, and Marlin finds them. The address of the diver is written on the goggles. With the help of Dory, who can read, they find out that Nemo is in Sydney now. Dory accompanies Marlin to Sydney on his search for Nemo. The two come across, among other things, three vegetarian sharks, a school of jellyfish, and a group of sea turtles. The latter help them a great deal. Finally, Marlin and Dory are swallowed by a humpback whale that blows them out through the blowhole, which carries them the last mile to Sydney.
The inspiration for Finding Nemo (2003) sprang from multiple experiences, going back to director Andrew Stanton's childhood, when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home. In 1992, shortly after his son was born, he and his family took a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom which was called Marine World at the time. There, after seeing the shark tube and various exhibits, he felt that the underwater world could be done beautifully in computer animation. Later, in 1997, he took his son for a walk in the park but realized that he was overprotecting him and lost an opportunity to have a father-son experience that day. In an interview with National Geographic magazine, Stanton said that the idea for the characters of Marlin and Nemo came from a photograph of two clownfish peeking out of an anemone: "It was so arresting. I had no idea what kind of fish they were, but I couldn't take my eyes off them. And as an entertainer, the fact that they were called clownfish—it was perfect. There's almost nothing more appealing than these little fish that want to play peekaboo with you." In addition, clownfish are colourful, but do not tend to come out of an anemone often. For a character who has to go on a dangerous journey, Stanton felt a clownfish was the perfect type of fish for the character. Pre-production of the film began in early 1997. Stanton began writing the screenplay during the post-production of A Bug's Life. As a result, Finding Nemo began production with a complete screenplay, something that co-director Lee Unkrich called "very unusual for an animated film". The artists took scuba diving lessons to study the coral reef. Stanton originally planned to use flashbacks to reveal how Coral died but realized that by the end of the film there would be nothing to reveal, deciding to show how she died at the beginning of the film. Finding Nemo was the first Pixar film not to be scored by Randy Newman. The original soundtrack album, 'Finding Nemo,' was scored by Thomas Newman, his cousin. The score was nominated for the Academy Award for Original Score, losing to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Finding Nemo (2003) did win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, the first Pixar film to do so. It was also nominated in two more categories, including Best Original Screenplay. Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars, calling it "one of those rare movies where I wanted to sit in the front row and let the images wash out to the edges of my field of vision" Finding Nemo became the highest-grossing animated film at the time of its release, and was the second-highest-grossing film of 2003, earning a total of $871 million worldwide by the end of its initial theatrical run. Demand for tropical fish exploded right after the film's release, especially for clownfish and blue tang. Finding Nemo is the best-selling DVD title of all time, with over 40 million copies sold as of 2006. After the success of the 3D re-release of The Lion King, Disney re-released Finding Nemo in 3D in 2012. A spin-off sequel, Finding Dory, was released in June 2016.

Blue Bud...A series, no. 2
Blue Tang is a name of a tropical fish made famous by the character, "Dory", from the movie,"Finding Nemo".
Going through some old files and came across pictures from several Disney on Ice shows. I took this at Nemo Disney on Ice when it came to the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama in 2007. The show opened with some of the regular Disney characters like Donald Duck and Goofy. We were on the front row on the floor, so I was able to get some close shots.
Happy Friday everyone. It is almost time for my trip back to the World. Hopefully next trip I can capture some more fireworks so I can have stuff to edit for Fireworks Fridays. But for this Friday, we have Finding Nemo. I miss Tarzan Rocks! but the Finding Nemo Musical is an awesome replacement. So don't be a high-strung fellow. Kick back and keep it mellow. Just go with the flow.

I finally got to see Finding Nemo The Musical at Disney's Animal Kingdom on this trip. What a wonderful show this was, full of beautiful imagery and music.
What surprised me while shooting these scenes was that the performers own facial expessions were just as important to the scenes as were their puppets. That really drew you into the performance and gave it a human twist on the whole story.
I've had some of these a long time, but over the last year, I've added a few, so I got them all out and took some photos.
