I instantly regretted choosing to watch this show with my wife. We were looking for the exit halfway through the first song. - Jacob Sundstrom

The production is top notch, as to be expected. Even so, the show plods along and never quite clicks. Maybe it's because the film had no music, but none of the new songs for this musical really work well or are even memorable. The Festival Of The Lion King and Beauty and the Best at Hollywood Studios are far superior overall. - Jeffrey Rickel

This is the first Disney Musical my family has ever seen and we absolutely loved this attraction. It was probably one of our favorites out of our whole trip. The only problem was by the end of the show my ear drums were thrumping because it was so loud in there. - Meg T.

Our family loves this show. It's a must see every time we visit. - Don Neal

I just didn't get it. We usually love Disney stage musicals, but this one was boring to sit through. Tunes are forgetable. - Rob Pastor

IMO this is a stronger show than FotLK, but both are extremely well done. - Sean Huckel

Utterly insufferable. Imagine a High School am-dram society given funds and regular performances and you are half-way to understanding Finding Nemo: The Musical. Avoid, avoid, avoid. - Man-Eating Sharks

Ughh... This show is an embarrassment to Animal Kingdom. Bad singing and also a very bad film to make a musical out of. I would prefer something that doesn't make me cringe. I rarely use the word but this is Lame. 2/10 - D H

Very impressive show. - Mostly Anonymous

I would love a full Broadway production of this to tour. I think the effects are incredible and I leave there singing the songs only to realize that these really are not in the movie. Truly a treat. - Chris Hill

Perhaps the teenage perspective is biased but...this show is on the cheesy/corny/kind-of-embarrassing-to-watch level. But hey, not to say that this show is something great for the family, has air conditioning, and has elaborate stage theming/plot compared to other Disney shows. A solid 6/10. - Jose Vazquez

Good show; visually impressive. Music comes across as rather generic show tunes. No melodies that reach the Caliber of Aladin or Little Mermaid. Or Lion King.... - Marc Ricketts
