Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
We're wondering how folks like the new show at AK. We loved Tarzan Rocks. The music from that movie is some of our fave Disney music. We were sorry to see it has closed. (All we can do now is watch Tarzan Rocks (or at least part of it) on YouTube...
From what we've seen on Travel Channel shows, the new Finding Nemo show looks a little lame in comparison. Thoughts?

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
Tarzan Rocks was much better than Nemo, that's for sure.
I think Nemo is cheesy. The special effects are lacking. The puppetry is confusing. The people take away from the characters. My mom thinks that Nemo must be cheaper to run. But, in my opinion, those puppets look pretty expensive... I think Disney made a mistake. Tarzan Rocks was the best. If they needed to add a Nemo show at AK, they should've knocked out Flights of Wonder, not Tarzan. Tarzan is hot. That tacky tourist at Flights of Wonder is not.

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
Well....I must say that I was glad to see Tarzan Rocks go. I didn't like it at all.....Curious to know what others think about the Nemo show.

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
Actually, that thread was about new attractions in general, but it kinda twisted into a Tarzan vs. Nemo topic (I suppose you could blame me for that).

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
OMIGOSH! There is NO comparison. Tarzan Rocks was the only Disney show we ever walked out of - twice. (we tried it a second time to give it a fair chance- couldn't handle the noise).
 Rollerskating stunts only worked in Starlight Express. Nemo is pure theatre genius! Amazing, entertaining,with an almost Cirque de Soleil feel. The actors are talented, the music great, the puppets creative! I've seen it three times and can't wait to see it again!!

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
you cannot compare the two- the quality of Nemo far surpasses Tarzan in my opinion

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
I guess it's just preference.
I prefer live actors. Some prefer puppets. I just got so much more into the music of Tarzan Rocks. It was good music, not that kind you play on a casette in the car for your four-year-old (okay, I suppose it's a CD, now, but back in my toddler days, it was the Barney, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Disney's Greatest cassets that played over and over again). It was also very audience-interactive, not so much with the dark Nemo theater. When watching Nemo, I just felt like I was watching some preschool show - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (ohhh, Mickey is so cute!), Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues. They want you to answer questions. It's like they're trying to make you smarter, but really, they're dumbing you down, because no one yells at a TV screen (unless the satelite's not working or someone's caught up in a football game), expecting it to respond.

Re: Nemo show vs. Tarzan Rocks?
Hmmm....so far a split decision. I have to admit I'll watch Nemo with a wary eye because we loved Tarzan Rocks!

I was meaning main aspect of the show. Because Turk was in Tarzan Rocks, and technically, Turk is a character, but it's not a character show.
