- Crush: "Totally awesome!"
- Audience: "Dude!"
- Me under my breath: "Sweet!" (and then getting a well deserved elbow in the side from my lady)
We'd never checked out Turtle Talk with Crush during our visits to Disney California Adventure, but seeing how Finding Dory is going to drop next week (and characters from the movie would be making appearances during the show), we figured we'd check it out. Located inside the Animation Academy, we waited for about 20 minutes before being ushered into the small theater where the show began.
As my fellow Yelpers have noted, Crush the turtle interacts primarily with the kiddos seated on the floor (and the occasional adult in the audience), answering their questions. For this session, the characters from Finding Dory popped up from time to time, and the transitions were seamless. I was surprised that whoever's doing the character voice in real time came up with some great answers - for example, when someone asked if he'd ever seen a mermaid, he said he hadn't, but one time his friend Sebastian took him to a hidden cave to meet one. She wasn't home, but according to Crush, it was full of stuff...
"She's got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
She's got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? She's got twenty!
But who cares? No big deal... she wants more!"
(At this point, I apologize if "Part of Your World" is now stuck in your head.)
And, at the end of every question, Crush would go, "Totally awesome!" and the crowd would go, "Dude!" Too bad there weren't too many questions asked by the kiddies - otherwise, I would've asked if Crush had ever been to the East Coast, near a city called Manhattan... and if he ever met four pizza loving turtles.
Something to bring the kids to at DCA, if only to relax for a bit.
