He's over there!

If you didn't get enough of the adventures of the clown fish Nemo when the movie hit the big screen, he'll be returning to Taiwan in February — this time on ice.

Disney On Ice will present Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo, bringing the loveable fish's underwater world to life in a creative spectacle of color. The production will submerge audiences in a comical adventure where they will join the curious clown fish Nemo, his overprotective father Marlin and their absent-minded and goofy pal Dory in a journey of friendship.

As they are visually immersed in an aquatic-like world, audiences will encounter the "super-dude" turtles Crush and Squirt, the hilarious trio of vegetarian sharks Bruce, Chum and Anchor and the eclectic Tank Gang from the dentist's aquarium who each play their own part in Nemo and Marlin's adventurous quest to reunite.

"Thirty-two containers are required to ship the show to Taiwan," said Po Pi-ling (柏碧玲), the show's Taiwan promoter. With a 13m blue whale, it is hardly surprising this much space is required for the spectacle.

"The addition of a digital projection screen combined with aquatic lighting help create the depth and vastness of the ocean that envelops the audience," she said.

With the complement of colorful costumes, and numbers ranging from a classical jellyfish ballet to a precision skating school of moonfish, Disney On Ice translates the revolutionary CG blockbuster hit into an equally stunning three-dimensional production.

Disney on Ice — Finding Nemo will be performed Feb. 9 to Feb. 13 in Kaohsiung, Feb. 16 to Feb. 20 in Taipei, Friday Feb. 23 to Feb. 24 in Taichung. Tickets for Kaohsiung and Taichung performances are NT$500 to NT$2,000; Taipei performances are NT$800 to NT$2,300, available through ERA ticketing.
