[@joshuacoldwater]

There is a big point that everyone misses about the fish in the tank. He only took 2 from the Reef 🪸 and they both had injured fins. In his eyes, he was bringing them to a safe, shallow place where he knew they could swim. Does that make his actions correct, absolutely not. Does it explain his mindset a little better, yes. They ALSO assigned odd traits to each fish from the stores, split-personality, OCD, anger, cleanliness, and obsession. They did this to show that while animals that come from stores are still kind and caring, they are going to have some major problems (usually due to breeding practices). It is a lesson that was inserted to teach everyone subliminally, and is one that a lot of people probably missed.

I was at a huge convention with people ages 18-32 and one night was supposed to be the big movie night. Suggestions ranged from horror to comedy to thriller. Finding Nemo won. It was amazing. Most of the older people hadn’t seen it since we were kids and lots of younger people hadn’t seen it at all yet.

[@joraluzmala]

Fun facts in this movie: Bruce said he never met his father. Well, male sharks leave the female after mating, so thats true. Gill is a moorish idol, a fish species that is known for not doing well in captivity. So it fits that he is the one who constantly comes up with escape plans. Jaques is a skunk cleaner shrimp, these shrimps can often be seen cleaning the teeth of other fish species like morays. The „teeth“ of krill eating whales are called baleen and work like a tight rake: The whale takes a big gulp of water with krill, then pushes the water through the baleen out again but the krill remains stuck. Also those aren’t true teeth since they are made out of keratin like our hair and fingernails I really like such attention to detail

[@srahhh]

Omg, I realized around 5:50 how incredible the sound mixing is in this movie-- the voices move directionally (in stereo) as the characters swim around. The singing teacher is off screen but you can tell where he is all the time, even when the camera switches angles it puts him on the other side in a way that keeps our brain oriented. AND THEN, right after that, THE DROPOFF!! Even the fricking music does it-- listen to that little sting at 6:15!!! The way it swells from left to right, and it's far off in our right ear we hear that little mystical flute trill. Like a literal pied piper making us wonder what secrets lie just beyond where we can see... 👻 I'm so glad I noticed this lol.

About the whale: This is a baleen whale (looks like a humpback to me), so those aren't teeth, but, well, baleen. :D Basically, this is a filter system consisting of keratin (the same material that shapes our hair and fingernails), like long bristles. To feed, whales take in a mouthful of water (where Dory and Marlin were swallowed), then press out the water through the baleen, where the krill/plankton/small fish they eat will be filtered out and swallowed. The one in the movie had something different in mind for Dory and Marlin, luckily. :D All whales who have actual teeth are, in fact, dolphins, including Orcas etc. ... who are just very big dolphins. :3

[@Visual_Gene]

Thank you. I was trying to remember what their "teeth" are actually called

[@calibadgerdude6082]

Hmm, I know pilot, narwhal and beluga whales are dolphin adjacent, but I’m not so sure about sperm whales. Aside from them being cetaceans and having teeth, I don’t think they’re all that similar… This actually prompted me to do some research on the subject. Delphinoidea (dolphins, porpoises, and beluga/narwhals) are just one clade of the toothed whales, and they’re most closely related to beaked whales, which are then in turn linked all the way back to the sperm whales. It appears Sperm whales are the most distantly related of all toothed whales and are the first evolutionary divergence of what eventually became the largest group of toothed whales, the dolphins and porpoises. I’m glad you brought this question to mind. I always enjoy learning new things, and anything that prompts a deep dive is very welcome. lol

[@BrianStorm742]

Great explanation (though I'm also iffy on sperm whales being close to dolphins), but that's definitely some sort of fin whale, not a humpback.

[@Derr1976]

33:56, That is not the whale's teeth, that is called baelleen, which belongs to a group of whales which are blue whales, humpback whales, minky whales, and fin whales, and there are toothed whales, which are belugas, orcas and bowheads. And this is how the baeleen works. First water goes through the baeleen, then it comes out and sucks everything in, kinda like a filter.

[@BrianStorm742]

Bowheads aren't toothed whales; they're also baleen whales, just like their closest relatives the right whales. Sperm whales, however, are toothed whales.

Finding Nemo was my favorite movie as a toddler. Hence, I can probably quote the whole thing by heart, I've seen it so many times. Yet nothing prepared me for rewatching it at a much older age and actually catching all the emotional feels!

[@Hclove92]

Since you mentioned how hard it must be for Dory to have short term memory, I think you should watch Finding Dory. It explores her perspective more

[@brittanysolano6833]

I always thought the fish at the beginning that ate Marlin's family was a barracuda, instead of a shark. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I remember being 4 and having the DVD and somehow, I got the perfect stickers to put on the case. I put clownfish and bubbles on the case to fit with it. XD Another point I want to say since my mom overheard me watching this, she said that she loves this movie as well for multiple reasons. She says that something a lot of people overlook is that Nemo has a disability. And that's another reason why Marlin was so overprotective. Like a lot of other parents who's children have disabilities. And this movie helps with representing that.

[@IllusionQueen4Eva]

Not to mention all the other fish with disabilities and disorders in this film.

[@yoojk5244]

17:18 this moment was PERFECT 😂

[@frozeniota]

Ahh, the barracuda, known to feed primarily by biting prey in half, even some the size of a tuna. Tough ones, those are. Marlin was lucky to get the tail instead of the tooth. As for the sharks, they're not dangerous to humans unless provoked... or if the human has a wound. Blood drives them into an uncontrollable frenzy.

[@becca-ux1rn]

They don't really care for human blood actually

[@frozeniota]

@@becca-ux1rn Yeah, but it still has enough effect on them to be dangerous in a fresh wound. I, for one, am not too keen to test it.

[@carissadallke1345]

This is sooo quotable! My husband & i have so many of these we use all the time!

[@carmenmintrose]

Hehe I love how you reacted to everything Aussie related. Anyway, gosh this is one of those movies that I've seen sooo many times as a kid but then I stopped watching it for many years. This was the first time since then, and for some reason I was kinda tearing up for the last like 15-20 mins of the movie. I didn't expect that. But I can really relate to the over protective parent thing (as the child, now fully grown lol) and I'm glad this movie touched upon that in such a heartwarming way. Great reaction :)

[@tiffanychristinesmith3939]

39:30 "All the animals have gone MAD!!!!!" 😂

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Nowadays when I think of Australia, I think of a family of Heeler dogs. 🤣🤣

[@daydreamdragon22]

Here's a fact I find uncanny: So, this movie starts off with killing off a mother, right? Ok. Alexander Gould was the OG actor of Nemo in this movie. But at least 3 years later, he got the role of Bambi in the Bambi midquel, whose mother dies as well. Coincidence??

[@aquawarper7328]

I think NOT!!!!! 🥸

[@JuanVargasArts]

The music is definitely a highlight and one of the best scores in Pixar. Thomas Newman is truly the underdog of legends!

[@BlackavarWD]

"It runs in my family... atleast... I think it does... where are they? Can I help you?" Dory 😂😂😂

[@tjnguyen8546]

As an American from Tennessee, yep, Opera House is the first thing I think of when it comes to Sydney. It’s similar to picturing the Eiffel Tower first when you think of Paris or the Statue of Liberty first with New York, though -- if you’ve never been to any of those places, you tend to picture the most famous landmark or building.

[@meganhutcheson5867]

16:28 realistically fish of the upper reef to swim down to the lower reef like that they would die due to the pressure and cold. This is been talked about in a video of a scientist, who studied and discussed this movie.

[@Mariokemon]

20:27. yes, thats the same VA, John Ratzenberger. Up until just recently, hes been in EVERY pixar movie. Sometmes its a cameo, sometimes is a more major character. the only four he is not in are Luca, Soul, Lightyear, and Turning Red.

[@NevadaTrail]

Today is my cousin 22nd birthday so in celebration. I would sit back and watch this. This was his and younger brother favorite movie when they were younger. ❤

[@amandagrubbs3000]

Fun fact: Ellen Degeneres voiced Dory William Dafoe did voiced Gill

[@scubagiga42]

Haha, was just thinking of this movie when you said fish are disposable on screen. Nice watching an Auzzie reacting to this beeing set partly in Australia. 😊 I really enjoy your voice.

[@mevb]

Yeah, John Ratzenberger does voice the Moonfish School in his movie and did Mack in the Cars trilogy. He also voiced Hamm in the Toy Story franchise, PT Flea in A Bug's Life, The Abonible Snowman in Monsters, Inc., Monsters Univeristy and Monsters At Work, The Underminer in The Incredibles 1 and 2, Mustafa in Ratatouille, John in WALL-E, Construction Foreman Tom in Up, Gordon in Brave, Fritz in Inside Out 1 and 2, Earl in The Good Dinosaur, Bill the Crab in Finding Dory, Juan Ortodoncia in Coco and Construction Worker Fennwick in Onward (which was his last voice role as being Pixar's Goodluck Charm, in Soul a background character that looks like him appears but he have no lines). For unknown reason he stopped voiced in the Pixar movies, which is rumored to be a despute over that Ratzenberger didn't want to voice characters with just one line and with that tradition broken in Soul, Pixar thought there was no point to continue. He did reprise Fritz for Inside Out 2, though.

[@redviper6805]

Loved how they used the Psycho music for Darla! And that movie perfectly depicted the behavior and mentality of seagulls!

[@christiansabotta6368]

It may have already been shared but the great white shark being named Bruce is a tip of the hat to Jaws in that Spielberg named the mechanical shark Bruce, which was the name of his lawyer as lawyers are often referred to as sharks.

[@bethscott4330]

I love how Marlin’s quote…”I’ll never let anything happen to you” comes full circle.

[@mariaghiglieri78]

First off-so many kids talking about seeing this movie as a toddler makes me feel so old… I was in college… 🤦🏻‍♀️ Second, they were very clear that any Aussie character had to be played by a real Aussie. Hence: Geoffrey Rush as Nigel the Pelican, Eric Bana the Hammer Head Shark, Bruce Spence as Chum, Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna Everage) as Bruce the Great White and Bill Hunter as the Dentist. Also-Squirt was voiced by Edna Mode/Brad Bird’s son, Nicholas, who also voiced the little boy on the trike in that movie.

[@eimere]

Same! I was in high school. I saw it in theaters but told anyone because watching a "child's" movie wasn't cool😅

[@tiffanychristinesmith3939]

13:43 "Flo/Deb" is voiced by Vicki Lewis! My voice coach!!!! I know her ❤

[@Elysia63]

REALLY??? Wow! Your coach is famous! 😃👏

[@ILoveZeke]

Now you gotta watch Finding Dory 😊😮🎉

[@GamingFanactic911]

I remember watching this in the theater when I was a kid. Absolutely spectacular, especially the animation for its time. I totally understand Marlin's overprotectiveness as an adult. Totally one of the best Pixar dads. 🥰❤️❤️

[@crystalhufflepufftheluckyt2758]

This is my favorite Pixar movie. It has a special place in my heart ❤️ 🐳🐟🐠🐡
