BLOAT
FINDING NEMO: THE MUSICAL
DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM THEME PARK

Show Description:
The undersea world that charmed audiences around the world in the Disney presentation of the
Pixar Animation Studios film “Finding Nemo” comes to life in a musical stage show at Disney’s
Animal Kingdom. “Finding Nemo: The Musical” will immerse guests of all ages in the story
of Marlin and Nemo, an overprotective clownfish father and his curious son, through a dazzling
production that combines puppets, dancers, acrobats and animated backdrops. Principal
characters such as Marlin, Nemo and Dory will be represented by live performers operating
larger-than-life puppets. Peripheral characters will be realized by a diverse array of puppetry
styles, including rod, bunraku and shadow.

Character Description: BLOAT
BLOAT is a comedic actor and musical part singer with great energy. All voice parts. Basic
blocking. All builds and heights, 20s – 30s. Lives in the fish tank when NEMO drops in. Strong
puppetry skills.

Script:

Music changes as the TANK GANG come into sight.
They begin an eerie Polynesian chant and move rhythmically toward NEMO.
