Finding Nemo

AnimationFamilyAdventure

Directed by Andrew Stanton

Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to his worrisome father Marlin and a friendly but forgetful fish Dory to bring Nemo home -- meeting vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more along the way.

    In the 2003 movie Finding Nemo, everyone believes the barracuda is the villain who ate all the clownfish eggs BUT THE BARRACUDA IS ACTUALLY A HERO. THEY DONT EAT FISH EGGS OR CLOWNFISH, THAT BARRACUDA KNOCKED BABY NEMO TO SAFETY!! Nemo's mom was going to eat him!!!

    Hexed will be the first Disney Animation film with a short playing before it in all or most countries since 2021’s Encanto. With this, Pixar’s Finding Nemo short, and other recent shorts, I feel that theatrical shorts will be more IP-based going forward.

    My biggest pet peeve of animated films lately is the Finding Nemo format where Act 2 sorta wanders from setpiece to setpiece as an exploration movie. It can be done well (like Nemo) but so many animated films just feel like extended list jokes and the setting never feels like a contiguous world

    Disney has been using merchandising and other subliminal messaging to preempt movies for a very long time. They did it with Finding Nemo somehow, if I recall? They do it for a year or more. Stitch merch exploded at the mall over a year before the live action movie and I knew it was coming.

    Finding Nemo is a queer film because clownfish are matriarchal and when the dominant female dies, the male partner changes sex so they can mate with the next available male.

    This is the 3rd Pixar film preserved by the National Film Registry after Toy Story and WALL-E, and the 4th CGI film with DreamWorks’ Shrek included. I expect Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and Up to be in here eventually (possibly Inside Out and Coco too).

I said no. He left, saddened. We also caught a guy masturbating in Finding Nemo. At least the first guy asked.
