Turtle Talk with Crush: A Totally Tubular Chat

Turtle Talk with Crush offers a unique and immersive experience that brings the animated world of Finding Nemo to life. Located in Disneyland's California Adventure, this attraction invites guests to have a real-time conversation with Crush, the laid-back sea turtle from the beloved Pixar film. As you enter the theater, kids are encouraged to sit up front on the carpet, while adults take the benches behind them. Before the show begins, you can enjoy the Undersea Observation Deck, which offers views into a large aquarium with sea turtles, rays, and sharks. Interactive exhibits, including Mr. Ray's Pop Quiz, provide educational entertainment while you wait. The magic happens at the "Window to the Pacific," a rear-projection screen where Crush appears. Using innovative Imagineering technology, a cast member voices and animates Crush, allowing him to interact with audience members and answer their questions in an unscripted and often humorous way. No two shows are ever quite the same, as the experience depends on the questions and comments from the audience. Guests of all ages are welcome to ask Crush about his life under the sea, his family, or anything else that comes to mind. Turtle Talk with Crush is not only entertaining but also showcases impressive technical artistry. The voice-activated lip-synch technology allows Crush's mouth to move in perfect time with the actor's voice, creating a believable and engaging character. Cameras around the theater allow the actor to see and react to individual audience members, making the experience feel personal and spontaneous.
