That seems like it'll be just disturbing nature, and reminds me of the hokey glow-in-the- dark-painted underwater props in the submarine ride.

CGI animation). Pixar are currently installing the animation (the ride itself is cycling at present).

Seriously, though, I expect that's just Bruce, and Bruce I can pretty much deal with for the most part.

Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire I think it does belong in thr Living Seas. After all, youre still going through the aquarium, just this tie there is a story involved. Still cant wait to see it during annual passholder previews!
Originally Posted By mrkthompsn It's OK with it being there. They just need to give serious thought to renaming that section of EPCOT to something other than Future World. Nemo and Friends is not in alignment with the future concept.

Originally Posted By brotherdave Well, if it IS Seabase Alpha, just about all references to it are gone now. It's been painted multiple hues of blue, and the cylindrical 'pods' (display areas) now mostly have Nemo theming. We were in there in June, and although it still has the same basic outline of Seabase Alpha, it really doesn't look like it anymore.
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom It definately looks more like an aquirium now. Which I think is a good thing. The Sea Base Alpha concept was getting "old".
