Nov. 15th, 2004 -- Tomorrow, Stitch's Great Escape opens at The Magic Kingdom in Disney World. That same day, another animated film character will become a permanent part of Epcot's Living Seas pavilion.

Crush, the sea turtle from Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo, will be featured in a new exhibit called Turtle Talk. He will be shown on several large television screens in an aquarium environment, and according to Disney Imagineers, the animation and dialogue will interact with the visitors at the exhibit.

Another character in the film, the shark Bruce, will also become part of Living Seas in a future shark education exhibit. Characters from Finding Nemo have been a mainstay at Living Seas for several months.
