Nemo arrives in Newcastle
June 15, 2008

The innovative new production of Disney On Ice presents Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo plunges audiences into the amazing underwater world of “lucky”-finned clownfish Nemo, his overprotective father Marlin and cheerfully optimistic Dory.
This animated world “down under” comes to life in a brilliant rainbow of colour, set to an energetic musical score. Gliding smoothly across the ice, skaters costumed in many forms of ocean life perfectly emulate the natural flow of fish through water. A digital projection screen combines with aquatic lighting to create the depth and vastness of the ocean that envelops the audience.
Set amidst the bright orange and blue of the main trio, the ensemble cast of sea creatures enhances the tropical feel of the ocean. The moonfish sparkle and glitter in day-glow blue, green and pink, while the jellyfish flood the ice with pastel pinks and lavenders. The audience will even venture to the abyss, as Lane created costumes that reflect the darkness of the deep sea. From seahorses, sharks and stingrays, to starfish and sea turtles, Lane represents the world underneath with alluring, eye-catching accuracy.
From a precision skating school of moonfish to breakdancing sea turtles to balletic jellyfish and an aerial silk act, Choreographer Cindy Stuart leveraged the creative costumes to develop a broad range of movement for the show.
With the captivating combination of digital projection and lighting, set, costumes and choreography, audiences will be visually submersed under the water to become a part of the aquatic adventure in this dynamic debut. As father and son go on a comical escapade to reunite, the Academy Award®-winning film takes to the ice in a breathtaking three-dimensional display of color, laughter and ocean-sized fun.
