期待已久的续集Disney’s Finding Nemo movie, Finding Dory, finally hit theaters this past weekend and I was thrilled to attend the film on opening weekend. Finding Dory’s producers marketed the heck out of this movie for at least a couple years leading up to its release, and there is no doubt that Finding Dory will be a ‘cultural moment’ for the aquarium hobby, just as Finding Nemo was so pivotal to marine aquariums when it was released.
我一直保留礁石水族馆已有八年了,在发现Nemo出来时,工作零售鱼类商店工作了五年。对电影的反应then简直就是压倒性的,似乎一夜之间是12岁的年轻人的整个人口,在所有人的情况下都决定从此以后被称为“ Nemos”。
I can’t tell you how grating it was to have kids in the aquarium shop excitedly bang on the aquarium glass, and squeal “Nemo”每当他们在坦克中看到一条小丑鱼时,但是现在我甚至发现自己将小丑鱼称为最小的孩子。我希望从现在开始,所有富豪的蓝色唐人也将被称为Dorys,我同意,因为这意味着一个新一代的未来成年人将在一定程度上对海洋环境成长。
This is the most important point and the lasting legacy of the Finding Nemo and Finding Dory movies; by characterizing such diverse creatures as clownfish, blue tangs, octopus, stingrays and whale sharks, the kids who will invariably end up watching the Finding Dory movies on repeat during their child hood will hold a greater sense of affection for them.
显然,找到多莉是一部幻想动画电影,它需要大量自由地描绘海洋环境和居住在那里的生物。但是总的来说,发现多莉的情节元素和设置非常栩栩如生,对真正的自然海洋环境有很多保真。
The opening scenes of Finding Dory picture a gorgeous coral reef, with recognizable corals, sponges and anemones that pulled at my aquarists heartstrings. Even if these reef animals densities were quite a bit higher than they would be on a natural reef, it was quite amazing to see even different types of recognizableAcroporaat different parts of the movie.
自从发现Nemo发布以来的13年中,动画技术取得了重大改进,对Dory和Nemo的现实生活细节印象深刻。在寻找多里(Doryparacanthurus hepatus.
The Finding Dory movie was really entertaining, and it represented the marine environment in truly exquisite detail. Being a kid’s movie, there wasn’t really much of an antagonist so it does feel like the seaside Marine Lab and its capture of marine animals for captive aquariums could be pictured as the antagonist, or the villain, depending on your point of view.
Disney did its part to bring attention to ocean trash with one scene where Dory has gotten tangled up in a plastic six-pack ring, which is how she gets collected for ‘rehabilitation’ by the Marine Lab. So in this frame of reference the aquarists can be viewed as saviors of Dory, but on the other hand, then Dory is captive and has to escape the seaside aquarium before she gets sent off to Cleveland.
整个水族馆的爱好必须真正参与媒体和公众宣传,以表明我们真正关心的是我们保留的鱼类及其来自它们的环境。在大多数情况下,我已经看到了各种各样的水族馆集团和个人业务。
However the cultural moment that Finding Dory represents is really just the beginning of a very long campaign for the aquarium hobby. It is my hope that we can come together and do our best to educate the owners of the new aquariums which will be built, and all the Dorys which will be acquired by the worldwide public in the coming years.
Finding Dory is a really fun movie, you should watch it, take some kids to watch it, and let us rejoice that the coral reef environment is in such focus of popular culture that we’ve got a major movie release that celebrates the fish and marine animals we all hold dear.
