AK Nemo show or Lion King?

Of the two, Lion King. I am so bored at the Nemo show. Every so often, I try it again thinking, "maybe this time...." Nope. Just don't like it.
 
Lion King is amazing. I don't care for the Nemo show, though my teen daughter likes it. But last trip she only had time for one show and went to Lion king.
 

Lion King is my choice every trip, Nemo only gets picked about 1 out of 5 trips :)
 
I vote for Nemo. We saw both, and I liked Nemo better. I am a musical theatre junkie, though. I remember sitting in that show thinking that I wished our local theatres had a Disney budget.
 
Maybe watch some of each one on youtube and then decide?? We've seen both. Our family is split for the favorite one - 1 adult and two kids (ages 13 and 9) for Nemo and 1 adult and two kids (ages 11 and 9) for Lion King.
 
Saw both shows for the first time this April and I can remember Lion King but don't remember Nemo.....

Going back this November and plan to see Lion King again.
 
Nemo is more for 5 years old And under. It's cute. The performers are good. But is not the Lion King!
 
We only have time to see one of the shows, which one do you recommend? We've seen the Lion King show before (5 years ago!), it was amazing and would love to see it again! But never saw the Nemo show - is it as good as Lion King? My DD11 seems to think Nemo is for 5 year olds so we should go see Lion King. What do you think? And should we use a Fastpass for the show?
Thanks!

Nemo IMO is the worst show I ever watched at Disney. I'd rather sit through one of my little niece's ballet recitals than go to Nemo. The only thing I liked about it was the air-conditioning in the theater.

The Lion King show is great. I've seen it several times and always leave the theater humming and bopping. It's awesome! :)
 
Definitely, go see Lion King. I would rather be boiled in oil than sit through the Nemo show again. In my opinion, it is really, really bad.
 
Festival of the Lion King is the BEST show at Disney! I wouldn't skip it for Nemo ever.
 
I would say make time to do both, if you haven't seen Nemo. However, if you really can't, I would do FOTLK. As PP said, have a look on u tube at the nemo show and see what you think :)
 
I thought FotLK was cute but absolutely loved Nemo, I'm not even a big fan of the movie. I left the theater humming the songs and eventually bought the soundtrack on iTunes when I got home. The songs are written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez of Frozen fame (and many more ). I don't have any kids so I can't say what they'd like.
 
I like both, but if you have not seen Nemo, I would suggest that you see that one. It is a fine little show, and I admit I liked it better than Lion King.
 
Our family loves them both! We make sure to see Nemo and FOTLK each year. If you could fit them both into your schedule somewhere that is what I would try to do. We had skipped both shows for years with our touring plans and then a few years back we decided to see them. When we stepped out of the theater (for both shows) we said to each other I can't believe we skipped these shows for so long! They are both fantastic in their own way.
