Today's Florida Flashback Friday is sort of a flash forward as well. This weekend, Finding Dory comes out in theaters, and Tom and I plan to see it tomorrow. But today I was thinking back on the times we've gone to see, and loved, the Finding Nemo Musical at Animal Kingdom. Last trip, we sat in the very front row which for some people would be an awful spot, but we wanted to see all of the puppetry and singing up close and personal.
I've had a stressful last few days, so today I woke up with a song from the musical in my head. Honestly, I find the song quite comforting in a child-like way if you're going through something stressful or an anxiety attack.
DORY:
Hey mister grumpy gills
Life's full of little spills
Don't throw your fins up in disgust
Oh what's the use of floatin' there
Not going anywhere?
Swish your tail
And dive on in
And trust...
That...if...you
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Life isn't all that grim!
MARLIN:
Ugh
DORY:
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
What do we do?
MARLIN:
We swim?
DORY:
Right!
La la la la la la la la
MARLIN:
Don't sing!
DORY:
La la la la la la la la
MARLIN:
No singing, please!
DORY:
La la la la la la la!
MARLIN:
Ugh! Now that song is going to be stuck in my head!
DORY:
Look there's a shiny thing!
Hey that looks interesting
MARLIN:
Please, Dory try to stay on task
DORY:
It says "P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney" Hmm, I guess it's nothing
MARLIN:
No, Dory! That's the mask!
DORY:
Yay! We did it!
MARLIN:
Yeah, but now what?
We don't know how to get there
DORY:
So we follow our gut!
MARLIN:
But...
DORY:
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Everything will be okay
See?
Just keep swimming
Move your tail
And sure enough we'll find our way
Oh sometimes things look bad
Then poof! The moment is gone
And what do we do?
BOTH:
We just keep swimming on
I use the "Just Keep Swimming" scene/song from the film often, whenever I feel over stressed or a little down. It always cheers me up :) Its a special happy movie for me as well, because it reminds me of the extra magical time when my boys were small ( it was and is a favorite film in our house :) )
