Finding Dory has an ocean full of hilarious, fun-loving, adventurous characters, including Dory, Marlin and Nemo, and many new ones who are just as lovable and unforgettable. “We have such a great voice cast,” Lindsey says. “There were never easier casting meetings,” she recalls. “We usually have to ask editors to mock up pretend conversations between two actors from other performances, but since Ellen has interviewed everyone on the planet, we could just watch and listen to her shows to hear how the voices clicked.” It’s critical that voices work well together, according to Lindsey. “In , we don’t have the normal visual cues for who’s speaking like you do in live-action film, so if actors’ vocal tones are too similar, it can cause confusion. Plus, there are a lot of great actors whose performances are tied more to physical movement, gestures and expressions. For animation, actors only have their voices to bring the characters to life emotionally. It’s sounding like the original Nemo, I was just myself.

Creating a nighttime spectacle for the Park presented unique challenges to the Walt Disney Imagineers. “We’re surrounded by live animals in this Park,” Michael points out. “Our lagoon is a real working estuary. We had to be very thoughtful about what we could do that was respectful of the animals’ well-being. We didn’t want fire effects, loud noises or a lot of technical infrastructure.” The answer lay in the more quiet, subtle magic that happens when the effects of light and water are combined. “In our show, they have come together in a celebration of life,” Michael says. “It’s transformative.” “We wanted to create something that feels like a timeless celebration of the spirit of animals and their place in our world and in our lives,” Michael says. “We were inspired by ancient Asian lantern festivals. Lantern-festooned barges drift down the river, followed by 15-foot-tall animal floats constructed of parchment and lit from the inside. They look hand-crafted. We were incredibly fortunate to have Michael Curry, who created the puppetry for Discover the Magic on Broadway, design the floats for us. When they are lit and moving, their reflections make them look as if they are dancing on the water.” Dozens of glowing lanterns drift past, then, as a lush, evocative of Nature at Night score by Don L.
