Close Sibling to the Hollywood Death Watch...

...is the Broadway Death Watch, which has had the creativity sucked out of the Great White Way in recent years with the porting of films (both musical and non-musical) to the stage--and largely as musicals (i.e., The Wedding Singer). Studio Briefing (at IMDB) has the latest nail in the coffin:

Disney's marriage to Pixar took a new turn Monday when the company announced that it would be turning Finding Nemo into a musical. Unlike The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan and the upcoming The Little Mermaid, Nemo will not be finding a home on Broadway. According to the company, Finding Nemo -- The Musical will be presented at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando, FL, will last only a half hour, and will feature puppets and live performers.

Well, I guess it's not going to Broadway. Yet.
