CHAW Dude!

There’s nothing quite so bizarre as having a conversation with an animated turtle.

We were at Epcot for our last day of Disney and went into the “Turtle Talk with Crush” show. For the uninitiated, Crush is a 150 year old sea turtle featured in the Disney film Finding Nemo. Crush swims on a massive screen in front of the audience and he picks kids out of the audience to speak with. He then directs an attendant with a roving microphone who to go to (describing their clothing). That child he either speaks to or gives them a chance to ask a question - which he answers in very funny ways.

Along with some kids who had questions, in this show Crush decided to talk to Aidan and then wanted to meet Aidan’s “parental units” all the way from Australia. Crush asked me how many kids we had and on hearing the answer he said, “Woah, the human race should have no fear of extinction with you around, dude!” … much to Karen’s embarrassment and the audience’s hilarity.

We've seen this kind of interactive show a couple of times now and each time it is amazing.

  1. Awesome Dude! I have to admit that I often think of Crush during church. The word 'awesome' gets used a lot from the pulpit.
