Many "dated" Disney rides based on movies are still "attractive" at the parks like Peter Pan's Flight, Alice in Wonderland, Splash Mountain (based on Song of the South), and others.

I didn't say it was necessarily going to die because it has movie trademarks now. My point was movie trademarks only help for so long, then they're drawing power is the same or less than the drawing power the attraction had before the movie trademark came. Case in point - Pirates of the Caribbean. In Disneyland, Pirates today has the exact same wait times now as it did in the years before the changes came. Adding Jack Sparrow helped for a while, but now it's ridership is basically back to what it was. Whether you put Nemo in the upper echelons of Peter Pan, Snow White & the rest is up to your opinion. I wouldn't.

There's nothing wrong with that at all. My point there was that the perception is the kids wouldn't care about learning about the ocean unless Nemo was there to entertain them, and there IS something wrong with that IMO.
