According to recent rumors, a television series derived from the universe of Nemo’s world is currently in development by Disney. At present, the information is to be taken with a grain of salt, but is not surprising. Here is the origin of this rumor and what we can expect regarding this possible show.
Finding Nemo: Huge Pixar Classic
In 2003, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich direct The world of Nemo. Considered today as one of the best Pixar films, The world of Nemo chronicles Marin’s quest to find his son, Nemo, kidnapped by divers. He crosses an entire ocean to track down his son. Considered an immense classic, The world of Nemo has been nominated four times for the Oscars and left with the statuette of Best Animated Film. At the box office, the feature film brought in more than 940 million dollars in revenue for a budget of 94 million. Impressive.
Faced with this success, Pixar Studios produced a sequel in 2016 titled Finding Dory. But the feature film did not meet the same critical success. The movie wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Quite rare for a Pixar production. It prevents that Finding Dory has been an unparalleled financial success with more than $1 billion in box office receipts.
A Finding Nemo series?
Apparently, Disney is currently working on a series The world of Nemo. After the success of the first two films, the firm with big ears would like to capitalize on this cult universe. From the podcast The DisInsider ShowDisney would be in the process of producing a series The world of Nemo for its streaming platform. Here’s what was said during the show:
It’s straight out of Pixar… Let’s just say that over the next two years you’ll still be getting original content after ‘Buzz Lightyear’… Thanks to things like ‘Cars On The Road’ and ‘Welcome to Doug’s ‘, Pixar is diving into the world of series… they will animate and develop alongside Andrew Stanton, a “Finding Nemo” series for Disney+.
Although this information has not been confirmed by Disney or Pixar, it is not surprising. Disney is ready to do anything to capitalize on successful works and spin them off as a series. The company has already done this in the past with the series Monsters, Inc.: At Workadapted from the cult film Monsters and Company. A series that turned out to be a huge critical failure. up there also had the right to its spin-off series: Welcome to Doug. Again, this proposal was opportunistic and brought nothing more to the original feature film… But this mode of operation does not seem to pose a problem for Disney, ready to produce anything as long as there is a name behind it. It remains to be seen whether fans will continue to be seduced by these ideas which lack originality.
