For Turtle Talk with Crush, an attraction at Disney's Epcot park, a backstage performer controls an animated avatar of Crush, the surfer turtle from Finding Nemo. The animated turtle appears to interact with the audience, answering its questions, making jokes, and otherwise acting like a real live character.
The animated image of Crush is a computer graphic avatar controlled by a puppet, operated by a backstage actor/puppeteer whose performance is digitized in real time.
Say hello to Crush, who waves to you with an enthusiastic welcome at Turtle Talk with Crush at EPCOT. Grab a seat in the theater at Turtle Talk with Crush—and have a conversation with Crush. Visit The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion—and check out Mr. Ray's Lagoon and Mr.
Andrew Stanton, who directed and co-wrote the film, also played the marine surfer dude Crush, a sea turtle who meets Marlin on his journey. He went on to voice roles in other Pixar films, like The Incredibles (2004) and WALL-E (2008).
When it comes to traveling the ocean's currents, no one has as much fun as Crush. The 150-year-old sea turtle is young at heart with a laid-back surfer dude attitude that lets him go with the flow.
Although it starts like a typical Disney-theme-park movie, Turtle Talk quickly turns into a surprise interactive encounter as the on-screen Crush begins to have actual conversations with guests in the audience. Real-time computer graphics are used to accurately move Crush's mouth when forming words.
Turtle Talk with Crush at EPCOT® is an interactive live show. The duration of the show is around 18 minutes. Guests may remain in their wheelchair/ECV.
In the video, the fan - who introduces himself as “Gerard” - asks Crush what his favorite food is, and Crush responds that he likes green seagrass and kelp. When Crush then asks the fan what he enjoys, he says he likes to eat turtle soup, and Crush playfully swims away, feigning real fear.
“Did you know that Crush is portrayed “high” because Sea Turtles actually eat jellyfish and the poisons inside the jelly doesn't actually harm the turtle but instead intoxicates them much like marijuana does for humans,” the search result states.
Easy Speech (aka Turtle Talk or Stretching) is a technique I use with pre-school and early elementary children who do not yet have the awareness or control to use techniques specifically on disfluent words. Easy Speech can be shaped into more advanced techniques such as a cancellation or pull-outs.
In a new study published October 25 in Nature Communications, researchers found that turtles, along with other understudied animals, do in fact communicate using a diverse repertoire of vocal sounds.
Squirt, Crush's young, enthusiastic turtle, enjoys surfing and diving at sea. With his positive attitude, he always keeps the mood light and lively, and he encourages his father to join him on his adventures. Squirt has some memorable scenes in the film that will make any viewer's face water.
A turtle's lifespan depends on the species, but most aquatic species live into their 40s, PetMD reports. Smaller species live only about a quarter of a century, and terrestrial box turtles typically live to 40 or 50 years but can live to be 100.
Crush : Oh, it's awesome, Jellyman. The little dudes are just eggs, we leave 'em on a beach to hatch, and then, coo-coo-cachoo, they find their way back to the big ol' blue.
Mating can take several hours. Afterwards, the male will try to hang on to his partner's shell to prevent other males from mating with her. Several males may compete for one female at the same time, aggressively biting his tail and flippers to get him to let go of her.
Nemo hatches as an undifferentiated hermaphrodite (as all clownfish are born) while his father transforms into a female now that his female mate is dead. Since Nemo is the only other clownfish around, he becomes a male and mates with his father (who is now a female).
We were first introduced to the two turtles in Finding Nemo, while Marlin is on a desperate search for his son, Nemo. Marlin first meets Crush, a 150-year-old turtle making his way through the East Australian Current with his son, Squirt. However, it looks like we missed the moment in Moana when she also meets the duo.
Nemo is a curious and impressionable six-year-old, only child who lives with his overprotective, single-parent father, Marlin. Having led a sheltered life, Nemo brims with the excitement of starting school and finally seeing the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
Pain - absolutely. They have pain receptors (called nociceptors), just like we do, that register the sensation of pain. So, when one is injured they feel the pain of it just like we would if we were injured. (They even sense pain on their shells!)
