Finding Nemo is beautiful to look at, but falls short in the song department. Big, blue world? Lame.

Sea Lions Tonight is funnier than most theme park live shows, but still features too much corn for my taste. Relieve? Lame.

I'll give the nod to Nemo just because of the amazing puppetry.

I can however see why other people especially children like it so much, but I have voted for Sea Lions Tonight, I haven't actually seen this show as we didn't have the opportunity on our visits to Orlando, but I love Sea Lions and would normally prefer to see an animal show over the type of show that Nemo was.
