The fact that Dory suffers from short-term memory loss is a humorous reference to the widespread but mistaken belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. One of the dentist's patients is "little Davy Reynolds," a reference to David Reynolds , one of the film's writers. One musical theme that Thomas Newman composed for the score did not end up in the final film but still appeared in both one of the trailers and on one of the DVD menus.

Nigel's line, "Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat," is a reference to the line, "Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly," in the song "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" from the Broadway musical "Show Boat.

Crush says "dude" twenty-one times. Squirt says it four times. Marlin and Dory have opposite personalities.

Their body colors are also opposite colors on the color wheel, orange and blue. The famous line "Here's Johnny! According to the Guinness Book of World Records, sea turtles can actually live up to years.

This contradicts what Crush said about still being young at age , it could be possible that he feels young instead of literally young. The first Pixar film to not have bloopers since their first film, Toy Story Darla, in a way, is very similar to Sid Phillips, as they are both naughty human children who serve as antagonists towards the main character's races toys and fish, respectively , although while Sid is a genuinely nasty child in the first Toy Story who relishes in his sick experiments, Darla appears to be much more innocent and seemingly did not mean Chuckles and Nemo any real harm, and apparently genuinely caring for Nemo evidenced by her calling out to Nemo when he went down the drain.

Unlike Sid though, Darla does not learn any lesson. The scene were Nigel evades a group of seagulls by narrowly passing between the mast and mainsail of a yacht recalls a similar scene in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back In that movie, Harrison Ford 's character Han Solo flies his ship, the Millennium Falcon, through a narrow canyon in order to evade the pursuit of a group of TIE fighters. Coral Marlin's wife is the first female Pixar character to die.

In reality, clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites they are born male but change sex later in life so whenever a female clown fish within a school of fish dies, a male will change gender to make up for the death and mate with the other male, if the movie had been more accurate in nature Marlin would have become a female shortly after his wife's death which would have made him Nemo's mother not his father.

In the scene where the moonfish are playing charades with Dory, one of the shapes is that of an old ship. The submarine captain in that movie was named "Nemo". Gill's species, Moorish Idols, are notoriously difficult to keep in captivity due to their diet and mannerisms. This may be an interesting way to show Gill's deep desire for escape from the aquarium and into the ocean.

In addition, Gill was pressuring Nemo to follow his challenging orders on his escape plan. Chum is the most hyper out of all three sharks. This would be fitting his nature, given that mako sharks are the fastest of all shark species.

Dory says the address eleven full times counting figuring it out at first as one. She also says it nine partial times three of them were stating they were in Sydney.

Last of the 3 consecutive Pixar films to have Lee Unkrich as the co-director. He wouldn't be able to direct another Pixar film until Toy Story 3 and Coco 7 and 14 years later respectively as the main director. Another reference to the film Jaws is shown in the scene when Dory and Marlin are stuck in a torpedo tube and release the torpedo, which gets stuck in Bruce's mouth, allowing them to escape.

Brown pelicans' Pelecanus occidentalis geographical distribution don't extend to Australia; they are only found in the Americas. All drains do lead to the ocean or at least a river or lake. It's just that raw sewage isn't dumped directly into the water; there are a number of mechanical and chemical processes in the way that, if depicted in the movie, would probably not be pleasant.

A deleted scene would have had Nemo going through and struggling to dodge the filtration machines, but it was cut out of the film with only a hint given that his small size allowed him to survive. Albert Brooks fell in love with the Deconstructionist aspect of Marlin - a clownfish who isn't funny - and ran with it. Director Andrew Stanton states "we have about an hour of audio from Albert telling a series of jokes really, really badly.

They didn't make any sense, but that was the part that was funny. It is implied that Crush's and to a lesser extent, Squirt's and the other turtles' home is actually Hawaii, and he and the other turtles are using the EAC to return there. This is the first Disney Pixar film to not be released in November. The name of the fish that yells "Oh, my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea! Bruce has teeth in his mouth, each of which can be animated individually. The anglerfish appears to be female, as only females possess the glowing bait that characterizes the species.

They are also larger and more dangerous than males, who are 40 times smaller than females. The highest grossing G-rated film until Toy Story 3 came along 7 years later. This is the second Pixar film after A Bug's Life to say the end at the end. Both of these films had directorial efforts done by Andrew Stanton. Anchor is very self-conscious about his head shape and does not like anyone staring at it.

The second highest grossing film of While Darla is being attacked by Nigel, a kid in the waiting room is seen reading a Mr. Dory wondering where her family is and when she asks Nemo if they are searching for his dad or her dad at the end, foreshadows the sequel. The name of the underwater bubble-volcano, which Nemo must swim through, can be heard phonetically as "Wanna-hawk-a-loogie? As pointed out by Nigel, a marlin is actually a type of billfish such as the sailfish and swordfish that is popularized by sport fishing.

Dory's species is known by several common names, including, regal tang, palette surgeonfish, blue tang, royal blue tang, hippo tang, flagtail surgeonfish, Pacific regal blue tang, and blue surgeonfish. Anchor's statement against dolphins being their friends makes sense: in addition to dolphins being mammals instead of fish, dolphins are prey to sharks and are capable of killing them.

Like all porcupinefish, Bloat sucks water into a compartment in his stomach to inflate, and also like many blowfish species in real life, Bloat often has trouble deflating. Also worth noting Bloat doesn't have the chameleon-like eyes and color-changing abilities that real porcupinefish and pufferfish do. The model for Gurgle was reused for the fish in Boundin' Unlike real jellyfish, the jellyfish in Finding Nemo sting by electrifying other fish, while real ones poison other fish with a really poisonous toxin with no antidote.

Based on the fact that Crush's father is named Mr. Turtle, this would make Crush's full name Crush Turtle, or C. Turtle sea turtle for short. The first Pixar film not to have a score by Randy Newman. Instead, his cousin Thomas Newman was this films composer.

Bruce never knew his father, so he was likely closer to his mother. Ironically, real great whites never care for their sons and leave them, as their babies are highly precocious or it is possible his dad died before he was born.

In real life, barracudas do not eat clownfish, other coral reef fish, or their eggs, this could be because barracudas live in the open ocean while clownfish live in reefs. Nathan Lane 's favorite animated film. While many fans of Finding Nemo believe Bruce to be a villain, he actually is not, since he was nice to Marlin and Dory, and never showed any signs of true evil, aside from his natural predatory instincts taking over him after smelling Dory's blood.

The animation team fluctuated between 28 and On the Disney website, they mistakenly refer to Dory as a Yellowtail Tang. Although she does have a yellow tail, this is a different species of fish. Peach was bought from eBay; however, buying live animals on eBay is prohibited. Of course, it is possible that this particular sale was overlooked by the eBay redactors, as this sometimes happens.

Peach appears to have eyes and a mouth. In real life, starfish do not have faces like vertebrate animals. This was done to accompany the fact that the film is set through the perspective of Marine Life. Gill's voice, as Dafoe said, is based on the character Earl Copen, whom he plays in the movie Animal Factory. Even though the jellyfish do not return in Finding Dory , model jellyfish can be seen hanging from the ceiling above the Marine Life Institute's "Open Ocean" exhibit.

The Barracuda can be heard roaring as it attacks Marlin and Coral, in a similar vein to Glut the shark from The Little Mermaid this may have been done merely for dramatic purposes. None of the sea turtles seem to worry about having to breathe.

They also don't travel in flocks, but this was intentional. Thomas Newman 's score was performed by a piece orchestra. Andy often casts him as a villain in his games, which seems to be the reason for his cynical and irritable behavior.

Kimberly Boyd, a senior vice president at Hasbro, said the intention of the brand name change was to be more inclusive and to have the characters still live within the Potato Head universe.

The character of Moana is not a real person. However, the demigod, Maui voiced by Dwayne Johnson in the movie , has been around in Polynesian folklore for centuries. According to Smithsonian Magazine, settlers started to colonize Western Polynesia around 3, years ago.
