As always, Thank You to Mayorse for all your hard work mining the details and pictures for all of us!! You're amazing. =)

Timeline:
Tidbit: Nemo's ability clears a horizontal line across the screen as he and his dad, Marlin, travels across the screen: VIDEO Furthermore, as you skill him up, the less you would require to activate his skill!
Tidbit: Dory's ability is similar to Flounder's in that she zigzags across the screen to clear tsums: VIDEO
Tidbit: If you don't like using boosts when playing, both Nemo and Dory do rank in the top 15 tsums for coin farming.
- August 4th to 24th - Find Your Ocean Friends Event! (aka Finding Nemo event)
Tidbit: Dory, Nemo, and Crush tsums will grant you character bonuses to help you finish the event faster. UPDATE - AUG 5th - The event is like a bingo card where there are multiple missions to complete (total of 60 missions in the event) that you can finish in random order. The missions appear 4 at a time, and once completed, the 5th mission that shows up is one where you have to "find and tap" a specific fish a number of times to complete the mission.
UPDATE - AUG 5th - Tidbit: When finding and tapping the fish, tap the fish immediately otherwise it will disappear a couple seconds later. I found using Crush, who gives you 100% character bonus, was super useful for this mission. If you manage to tap and capture 10 fish during the mission, it will give you 10 bonus fish, thereby cutting the number of games you needed to play to finish the mission. UPDATE - AUG 6th - As it turns out, the character bonuses only apply for the 5th mission of every set. When using Dory and Nemo, they also gave 100% character bonuses during the "finding the fish and tap" mission. For the other missions of the event, Dory, Nemo and Crush did not give character bonuses. I felt it was misleading to tell us that we would get character bonuses when using these three tsums to help us finish the event more easily, when in fact it only happened for the 5th mission of each set of 5s.

- August 5th to 8th - Lucky time for Crush only!
Tidbit: Crush's ability clears a vertical line of tsums as he rides the current! I really like his animation: VIDEO
- August 9th to 13th - Pickup Capsule!! It contains 15 tsums, so be prepared with 450,000 coins, and will have the following tsums in it:
- Romance Ariel x 1 !!!
- Scuttle x 1
- Abu x 1
- Ariel x 3
- Flounder x 3
- Sebastian x 3
- Hawaiian Stitch x 2
- Angel x 1
- Skill ticket for you to use on any tsums of your choosing!
Tidbit: this is a very interesting pickup capsule because Abu, Scuttle and Romance Ariel are usually not found in the premium boxes during your draws. Scuttle and Abu were both event reward tsums and Romance Ariel is a limited time tsum that came out last year during the Little Mermaid event. If you don't have these tsums yet, these tsums would be nice to have, but don't expect too much from them as they've proven to be quite weak. Romance Ariel may be a good tsums for specific missions but her ability is the same as Birthday Anna, who I find is a lot stronger tsum to have instead in your collection.
Tidbit (UPDATED - AUG 6th): Moana's ability clears tsums across the bottom of the screen horizontally, AND turns any Moana tsums into Score bubbles. As you skill her up, the number required to activate her skill decreases!! At Skill 6, you only need 8 Moanas cleared to activate her skill again!! Very strong tsum to have and Absolutely stunning animation, as her grandmother's spirit animal, the stingray, is the one who guides Moana and clears the tsums! VIDEO I highly suggest skilling Moana up as much as you can as she looks like a pretty powerful tsum.
Tidbit (UPDATED - AUG 6th): Maui's ability is like Genie in that random effects will happen as can be seen in this VIDEO. Unlike Genie, Maui only has 3 random effects which you get already at Skill 1, so as you skill him up, the radius of how many tsums he clears only get larger and no additional skills would appear like Genie. When Maui's ability is activated, he will always strike a vertical line in the middle of the screen with his fish hook, and then he would transform into one of the three animals: a fish that flops around and creates random magical bubbles; an iguana that glides in a circle, transforming the tsums that cross his path into Maui tsums; and an eagle that clears a large vertical line of tsums. As you watch the video, you'll notice that the bubbles created from Maui are like Marie in which they are empty bubbles.
Tidbit (AUG 6th) - It would look like the coin ranking list don't include Moana and Maui yet, but from Seiji's videos, it looks like these tsums are pretty decent coin farming tsums as well.
- August 18th to 21st - LAST Lucky Time for Nemo, Dory and Crush!
- August 25th to 28th - LAST Lucky Time for Moana and Maui!!
- August 29th to 31st - Mission Rewards Up! Get 2000 coins per mission for these three days!!
Tidbit: Since this month is full of lucky times, if you don't need the skill ticket from the pickup capsule, you may find it more useful to save your coins for the Moana and Maui tsums or for the last lucky times! UPDATED - AUG 6th - None of these tsums in the lucky times are limited edition tsums so you will have a chance to keep skilling these tsums up in the future if it's part of the premium box selection/shuffle for the month. The Pickup Capsule however has 3 limited time tsums that you cannot get otherwise from the premium box: Romance Ariel, Scuttle, and Abu. If you don't have these three tsums, and if you wish to fill up your collection, then it may be in your best interest to have 450,000 coins for this pickup capsule. I apologize for the oversight earlier on this.
List of missions and rewards can be found on the Reddit post!
Thank you so much for your patience and if I find more information, I will be sure to update here more! (I'm sorry this blogpost is so short - I need to run to a friend's wedding. I will update more soon once I find more information or videos to reference here!!)
Happy Tsuming!! =D

AUGUST 6th : Find Your Ocean Friends Random Tidbits
I'm going to list a few notes here as I randomly come to epiphanies on how to help you clear some of the missions more quickly. It will be updated over time until I complete the event. If you have any other tidbits you want to share, feel free to comment below and I can transport them to below here to help others during this event.
- One of the missions was to clear 1000 Pixar tsums - use Sully! He creates giant Sully heads which in turn counts for 5 tsums themselves, and each time I've used him as MyTsum for clearing this mission, I see Lightning McQueen and/or Rex show up as well, thereby increasing the number of Pixar tsums you're clearing in one game alone!
Happy Tsuming! =D
