Turtle Talk with Crush

I think this could and would be really great if u didn’t think spignoli was doing it. Turtle talks like he’s high to 6year olds.

If you’ve found the sanctuary of the beautiful and spacious air-​conditioned Animation Building at California Adventure, make sure to check out the entertaining Turtle Talk with Crush show!
Crush likes to interact with kids and adults. Each show is unique and fun, and it’s a great time to take a brief break from the fast paced environment of the park.

Every time my son asked to go to Animation Academy, the next thing he’d ask for was Turtle Talk. The first time, he was too scared of the unknown, so he sat in my lap on the chairs. After that first time, he started running to the front to make sure he got a front row seat on the floor! We saw two variations of the conversation, and both are cute. My son loved getting picked to ask a question («Where do you live?») and was amused when Crush asked him a question in return.
Again, this is a great thing to do in the hot summer heat. Take a break from the heat by doing Animation Academy of Turtle Talk with Crush. The «lines» are easier to manage than outside in the rides, and kids love it!

Yes, you get to talk with a turtle named Crush.
Found this one by accident in California Adventure (second half of Disneyland). Didn’t know it existed. My son is a fan of Finding Nemo, so this was cute for him.
The host was pretty entertaining. ‘Crush’ comes on the screen and is interactive with the crowd. Parents can sit in the comfortable movie theater like seating and kids could sit with you or in the front in front of the screen and ask questions. Crush is pretty humorous as well and most should find this entertaining.
Not long and a nice little break from the business outside. Located in the Animation Academy (around where Elsa/​Anna are) and worth a visit.

5.0 Stars — My kids absolutely loved talking to Crush, the sea turtle from «Finding Nemo» and didn’t stop talking about him after we left! This was the first time for our family since we’ve been AP. We stumbled into Turtle Talk with Crush by sheer coincidence when we wandered in, originally with the intent to draw at Animation Academy but we missed entry by 2 minutes and found this semi-​hidden gem!

Not as fun as the one in Disney World but we still had a blast watching our preschooler hang out with Crush. There’s a big screen with Crush in the ocean and he has a conversation with the crowd — the kids get to sit up front and he picks different people from the audience to talk to. Very entertaining and a nice way to relax for a bit!

This is so cool! You get to talk to a sea turtle! What’s not to love?

«Dude!»
This is «sweet!»
If you’ve ever wanted to talk to Crush (from Finding Nemo), this is the place for you! The show runs every half hour. You enter inside a «human tank,» and you have a window to the ocean. The «human tank» consists of many chairs, and if you want (especially children), you can sit on the floor in front of the window to the ocean to be closer to Crush.
Crush will come out and ask the audience questions. He’ll, also, take questions from the audience! The children usually ask silly questions. One time, a child asked Crush if he’s ever had turtle soup!!!
It’s VERY entertaining, and it’s a MUST do — especially if you’ve never done it!

Love watching this show! It’s one of the best places for little kids to hang out and have fun!!!

I have seen this show a handful of times, and every time I watch it, it’s just like watching it for the first time. Crush is hilarious! Kids and adults will both get a good laugh during the show. The theater is small and it doesn’t get too packed either. It’s definitely a show you don’t want to miss!

This is one of those attractions that often seems to be bypassed by guests at DCA. Years went by before I ever ventured into this facility but one day, I became quite curious about what goes on behind these walls.
This is an amazing, interactive show that appeals to children under the age of 10! However, you’ll find older children as well as adults laughing at Crush’s shenanigans!
There are plenty of comfortable seats set up like a movie theater. Then there are some lily pad designs on the floor for children to sit on. The seating area is configured in a way to allow ease of movement for both cast members and guests.
There is a large television screen displayed prominently in the front of the room. Crush the turtle will swim onto the screen and greet/​interact with audience members. He taps on the glass and it makes a loud enough sound in which you really believe that he’s banging on it! A mock hydrophone floats around within the «water» on the screen and this will allow Crush to hear audience members easily, along with elevating Crush’s voice so that he can be heard. He talks to a select number of children seated directly in front of him. If the conversation seems to fall apart, he focuses on interviewing the parents so no one is safe in here. He also likes to talk to unsuspecting audience members who try and hide in the seats so be prepared for Crush to make fun of your facial expression when he picks on them. His jokes and one liners are always the same so if you come here often enough, you can finish the punch line!
He also tends to select an item that he just happened to find floating around on the ocean floor. He’ll ask an audience member to explain what it is and how it is used. I have seen bikini tops, a Buzz Lightyear doll, and a foam finger. If you tell him to wave the foam finger around and scream, he’ll totally do it.
So if you are called upon by Crush, have fun with it because audience responses will determine how awesome the show will be! Also, be forewarned that Crush tends to pass gas and he refers to it as «the bubbles». He typically blames it on audience members so if he remembers your name, he’ll probably say it was YOU!

You don’t have to be a fan of «Finding Nemo» to have your mind blown by Turtle Talk with Crush. Seriously, dude, it’s like, totally awesome. You’ll be like, «How’s he doing that, dude? I’m like, so confused… but like, in a good way.» A MUST for children of all ages and adults too. Don’t be afraid to participate. The interactive aspect of this is what makes it so cool. Cha…
Tip: While you’re waiting for the next Turtle Talk show to start, wander around the lobby till you find the «Toy Story» Zoetrope. Another thing that will blow your mind. I’ve stared at the zoetrope for as long as ten or fifteen minutes. So awesome!

I am hoping that I went on an off day. Crush kept calling on adults and taking their questions, as opposed to taking the kids’ questions. It’s a lot more fun when you get to hear the kiddos ask funny questions and watch Crush interact with them. This is still worth going to, but I was a little let down after my past experiences with Turtle Talk at Disney World. (Kid: «I want to be a Transformer when I grow up!» Crush: «Uhh… what’s a Transformer? Is it something like… this?» *drops a Buzz Lightyear doll into the water*)

Having seen this version of this performance as an adult-​viewer for the first time, I was like completely blown-​away. From seeing an example on TV, I decided to see this first hand. I was completely blown away that a computer and a voice behind the scenes could identify and recognize voices that clearly without much of a problem. And the fact that it’s main character is based on a famous Disney Movie that what seems to be almost all kids recognize quickly, just blows me away!
I wished I was kid again, and could have sat there and «played into» the role, though adults have to take a back-​seat approach and just have to listen to the kids who interact with Crush.

In the Hollywood District of Disney’s California Adventure Park
This attraction is most definitely for children, however I can tell you as an adult… I know I know («that’s debatable) that I absolutely love this attraction. I enjoyed Finding Nemo, but still found it to be just ok… and I’m not going to lie… I find the character of Crush to be kind of annoying.
While I thoroughly enjoy coming to this attraction with my friends that have children and watching these children I know and love interact with the kooky turtle… I have just as much fun coming inside by myself or with other adult friends just to watch the interactions between the children and the turtle.
I don’t want to spoil the experience for anyone so I’ll just leave it at a lot off children are chosen to kneel before a screen where they can interact live with America’s favorite turtle.
If you haven’t been yet then what are ya waitin for?!

Located in Hollywood Land of Disneyland’s California Adventure Park is the show, Turtle Talk with Crush, which is an interactive attraction where guests can converse with «Crush» from the Pixar movie, «Finding Nemo».
Guests step into a movie-​theater style room with a large aquarium-​style window seemingly opening up to the undersea open ocean. After the hosts makes all of the introductions and starts the show, Crush makes his way down to the large glass window and with the help of a moderator, is able to converse with selected children and adults sitting in the audience. It’s amazing what Disney has done with this show. Crush carries himself and sounds exactly like his character from «Finding Nemo», so both the children and adults get a kick out of watching his facial expressions and hearing his quick witted answers and humor.
A cute show to check out and take a break indoors while visiting Disneyland California Adventure Park. The last time that I took my daughter to this show, she had just turned two, so wasn’t able to completely follow all of the quick conversations, but now that she’s almost four, I think she would enjoy it much better.

this was so amazing!!! i can’t believe i’ve never checked it out in my past 7 years of being an annual passholder.
in a nutshell…
audience sits in a small theater (maybe 10 rows).floor seating in front (i think it’s meant for kids but some over enthused adults sit up there and block the views of tiny kids)
we arrived 1^st in line. yay! unfortunately the mob of folks pushed and ran to get their favorite location… we got a 2^nd row seat… unfortunately my little girl couldn’t see… fortunately the couple in front of us moved to the floor… so my kids snagged 2 front row seats and we were seated right behind them.
Crush (the turtle from Nemo) is on the big screen in his habitat… and an underwater microphone allows him to talk to us… there are microphones placed throughout the theater for him to hear us.
it’s set up like a talk show… selected audience members ask Crush questions and Crush asks us questions… it is so amazing! it really feels like it is all real!
looking forward to returning… now that i know what this is all about…
my kids are already preparing questions for Crush

Oh Disney California Adventure. how do I love you. And this attraction rocks! You are the audience as Crush from Finding Nemo is your star — its a total Q&A session. Your best bet to ask Crush anything is after the kids leave the park — so like 8pm so totally rocks! DUDE!
yes, when ever Crush says «You totally rock!» you must respond with DUDE! because that is how sea turtles rock. Do not question this. You will be reminded every time about this.
Crush CAN see you — he has eyes (cameras really) and he can see into the audience. Do not try to play hide and seek with him as this will only result in «Greg, I can see you» :)
don’t believe me watch this video :) and always ask Crush what his favourite meal is, and when he asks you what yours is, you can respond with turtle soup. Always awkward :) Luckily, I was not escorted out by security!
Not sure everyone can see this, but I hope you can!
You so totally Rock!

Duuuuude!

This is the cutest little attraction (and great way to beat the heat).
You get to ask Crush any questions and he asks you questions, too.
Totally laughed the entire time.
Super cuteness!
