Description: "Turtle Talk with Crush" is fantastic. The Imagineers have created an amazing technology giving an animated version of Crush the ability to have real-time conversations with the audience.


You're ushered into a small theater. There are curved benches for the grownups to sit on, while children are encouraged to sit on the carpeted floor close to the screen.


A Cast Member hosts the session and it begins with everyone calling for Crush to appear. When he makes his entrance, he can "see" the audience. Crush makes comments about the "dude with the orange shell" (the color of the kid's shirt), when pointing out a child, much to their delight.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons:

We saw this in May 2010. We were the last family admitted into the holding area for our show, so a very short wait, but it was also a little difficult to find a seat once in the theater.


It was very entertaining to watch the kids interact with Crush. I would see this again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Really cool!
Cons:

I would like to know how they do some of this stuff, but Crush is awesome in this show. It's directed primarily toward the children, but it's fun for adults to check out too.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Personal interaction, amazing technology, very magical
Cons:

Disney Magic! I didn't know what it was going to be like, then when Crush started talking to the kids and pointing out their hair color, and asking their names I was in total awe. The voice sounds EXACTLY like Crush. (I swear Andrew Stanton is working this attraction.) Crush becomes the Art Linkletter of a new generation and kids say the darndest things!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): always entertaining, nice interaction with Crush
Cons: some kids might be disappointed if they don't get picked to ask a question

This is a cute show that never fails to entertain. It is great for families, but people without children can enjoy it too.


If you do visit with kids, try to explain to them that they may not get picked to ask a question. I have seen more than a few little ones leave upset that Crush didn't talk to them.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): FUN!
Cons: possible wait

I love being able to talk to a turtle! You can ask questions and he will respond. It is like totally righteous dude! Kids can ask fun questions and he answers in the funniest way possible, he interacts with the kids, and recognizes you in the audience. There is also a possible chance of a surprise happening at the end.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): amazing interactive attraction
Cons: lines can be long

While this is absolutely fascinating for the children sitting in front interacting with Crush, it is also very entertaining and humorous for the adults in the audience. He also will respond to what is happening in the audience - he kidded one man whose cell phone rang during the show. And since the questions vary, no two shows are exactly alike.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Technology and CM interaction
Cons: crowded waiting and viewing area

This is a must do for me, one of my absolute favorite things at WDW. The CM who do the voice of Crush are excellent.


Remember, say "dude" all day long, your parents will totally love it!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Entertaining for kids, great video opportunity for parents
Cons: Boring for other adults

This attraction is best for children and the parents. We took my brother in, and while I was impressed with the technology I was pretty bored.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): unique interactive experience, indoors
Cons: long lines, better the kids than adults

A very cute interactive experience with Crush. The littler kids love it! It seems to repeat the same jokes/comments every show, so it gets a little old for the older crowd if you see it more than once.

Cons: Long wait

I was blown away by this attraction when it opened. The technology used to bring this to life is exceptional! We enjoy this attraction so much, that it has become a much on every visit.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): technology
Cons: nothing

Don't want to ruin the surprise of this great little gem, but the secret's probably already out. Doesn't matter if you're a Finding Nemo fan or not, and despite what others say, it doesn't matter what age you are, this show is a delight.

Great interactive show, and since it is built entirely upon audience interaction each show is different. Very entertaining. Just wish the seating was more comfortable.

Cons: fills up fast

Imagineering at its finest. We don't travel with young kids but we always make a stop at Turtle Talk with Crush because its just so cute. It's always a different show. Sit you kid down front and have them prepared with a question in case they are called on.

Cons: wish it was longer

This is so cool! Even as an adult I enjoy it! It's really amazing how Crush interacts with the kids. He has some sort of answer for everything! I'm still not exactly sure how it's done! A high point of a visit to WDW!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): funny interactive show
Cons: slightly unorganized reuniting of kids and parents at end of show

How is it that my family has walked by and skipped this attraction so many times? This attraction is absolutely adorable and the person that voices Crush was great and really funny.


The attraction has wooden bench-type seating that faces a large screen and the kids that want to participate sit on the floor directly in front of the screen. A Castmember introduces Crush and he makes a grand entrance onto the screen and interacts with the people in the audience, primarily the kids in front. His reactions and comments were great and so quick that you could forget that turtles can’t really talk. He will initially address the kids by what color shell (aka shirt) they have on and then by their name. The show lasts about ten minutes and so worth the time.


My only complaint was the small theater that the attraction is in was a little warm and I would like to see them come up with some better way with getting the kids back to their parents instead of it being a mad rush of people trying to reunite. This show is good for people of all ages but if you have a preschooler that doesn’t want to sit up front he/she might be asking to leave half-way through the show.
