Earlier this year, National geographic released a new series called “A Real Bug’s Life”, which took views into nine different micro bug worlds around the globe, where the forces of nature play out on a miniature scale and where tiny creatures rely on powers and extraordinary alliances to make it through each day.

The series was based on the classic Pixar film and following its huge success, Disney has announced that National Geographic has greenlit a brand new documentary series, which is currently going by the working title of “The Real Finding Nemo”

This show will be an intimate and entertaining journey through the thrilling underwater world of charming characters where life is filled with epic drama and relatable life situations. Inspired by Pixar’s smash hit film, this series will immerse viewers in the intricate dynamics of life on the reef and beyond as the underwater citizens engage in friendship, deception, romance, and resilience.

From Freeborne Media (“Our Great National Parks,” “Our Oceans,” “Our Living World”) along with the world’s best underwater cinematographers, our ocean characters will transport viewers into the world below with themes that are relevant to sea creatures and human creatures alike. Dive into a clownfish’s epic quest, the unpredictable danger-filled “drop-off,” and experience the everyday jobs that keep Reef City alive like any thriving metropolis in the human world.
 
For Freeborne Media, James Honeyborne is the executive producer. For National Geographic, Tracy Rudolph Jackson is executive producer; Janet Vissering is senior vice president, Development and Production; Charlie Parsons is senior vice president, Development; and Tom McDonald is executive vice president, Global Factual and Unscripted Content.

No release date for the series has been announced yet, but we should expect to see it soon on the National Geographic channel and Disney+ around the world.

Roger’s Take:  I think this idea sounds very interesting; as someone who loves the ocean and visiting aquariums, the idea of learning more about the real-life fish that we see in the film is intriguing and more importantly, this could be a vital show, for teaching younger viewers about the ocean, while having fun!

Are you looking forward to watching “The Real Finding Nemo”?  Let me know on social media!
