Fans Want Disney To Protect Blue Tang Fish Before Release Of Finding Dory
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 28 May 2016
Finding Nemo was enormously successful for Disney, but it did have one unforeseen side effect. Nemo is a Clownfish, and after the original film's release, demand for that breed was immense, resulting in a 40% rise in Clownfish sales. The good news is that for Clownfish, they can be bred in captivity, which helped mitigate the strain in demand. Dory, however, is a Blue Tang fish, and unfortunately, researchers have not been successful with breeding them in captivity. Disney is just about to release Finding Dory upon the world in less than a month, and researchers are predicting as strong demand for Dory-like fish after the film debuts. Kelsey Bourgeois initiated the "Disney: tell fans to find Dory, not buy her" campaign, which currently has 84,149 signatures of its 85,000 goal. The petition just requests that Disney put a simple PSA at the beginning of the film, asking viewers not to adopt Blue Tang fish like Dory.
