This movie is a great one. Several moments that get me. Ellen, while a not great person in real life, is an excellent Dory. As are all the voice actors in the dentists tank. -After all these years, my wife and I still use many quotes from this movie: "Just Keep Swimming" "No eating here tonight" "SHARKBAIT HOO HAA HAA" and of course, the seagulls.

Haven't watched this since I saw it in the theater. I have two primary memories of the experience. First, just how gorgeous and immersive it was in the theater (and it was a regular screen, not IMAX or anything). And secondly, that I'd gone to the dentist earlier that day to get two cavities filled and half my mouth was still numb. So I was really not expecting the dentist scenes to happen. Let's just say that hearing the drill sounds so soon after a dentist appt was mildly traumatizing!

Finding Nemo = May 2003 Shark Tale = November 2004

As my grandpa got older and seemed to mellow out, this became his favorite movie. He’d ask me to come over and watch it with him and I was in my 20s at the time , so I wasn’t always hyped to do it. But now it’s a very sweet memory.

This film holds a special place in my heart as I studied various clownfish species on the Great Barrier Reef during my master’s degree at university right around the same time the movie was released. The opening scene where Marlin asks Nemo to “brush” before school always brings a smile to my face. Clownfish are protected from stings because their skin has a thick mucus layer that lacks the chemical sugars, particularly sialic acid, which normally trigger the sea anemone’s stinging cells or nematocysts. As an “evil” scientist, we would remove this mucus and release the unfortunate fish back into their anemones, where they would be stung. I suppose that kind of scenario might be even too dark for Pixar/Disney. I also adore triple crown award winning Geoffrey Rush’s portrayal of Nigel the wise and helpful pelican and his hatred of the annoying pests “Aussie” seagulls or “rats with wings”! Gets me every time!

Good catch on the shark being named after Jaws! Such a fun movie, and the voice actors knocked it out of the park.

AH! My favorite animated* Disney movie! I love quite a few, but this one is always my fave. So excited to watch this with you guys. *I have to say animated because my favorite Disney movie overall is The Parent Trap ('98).

Blackadder finale into Finding Nemo is the Barbenheimer of 2026

D Gyre

Yeah you need to watch UP. This is fine, but UP is so much better

This was my daughter's favorite movie when she was small. We watched it so much we wore out 6 DVDs. I never thought I would willingly sit through this film ever again but for me as well, it is as you said, a very sweet memory.

This is such good movie and it's really heartfelt and funny. The animation is beautiful, the fact that we haven't had very many Disney films centering around the ocean really makes it stand out too. The only other one I can think of is The Little Mermaid. I love that this is about a parent needing to learn a lesson. Sure, Nemo goes through his own arc but it's more about Marlin. Originally the film started differently and gradually as the film went on you were supposed to learn about what happened to Marlin, they changed it though because they were concerned that nobody would like him and it was a smart move. You immediately understand where he's coming from. Even him freaking out about the drop-off is valid, that's where he lost his wife and other children, where the trauma started. And I am so glad they didn't try to force a romance between him and Dory, they're just friends and do become family. In the end it is a very sweet friendship. I strongly advice now to watch Finding Dory! I think it's just as good and honestly one of my favorite Pixar sequels.

Yeah, not a great person in real life, but this was a point in time where pretty much the whole public loved Ellen and her performance as Dory IS delightful.

Another Pixar classic from that original run where they had no misses. The Incredibles was next, followed by Cars which is generally considered to be their first output not to be a total masterpiece that broke that original streak. I totally get being a young kid loving Cars when it came out, I was 19 then so I'd grown up with Toy Story and Monsters Inc. and Cars was a bit of a disappointment for me. Toy Story 3 will probably always be my absolute favorite Pixar movie just because of me growing up with the first two and then 3 being so much about Andy leaving childhood and the toys behind to go to college while I was in college myself when it came out, I related to it so so hard and bawled my eyes out in the theater.

Love this movie. The Psycho music for the dentists daughter is just hilarious. This and Wall-E are my favourites.

Ashley Thomas

this is such a good movie. its beautiful visually but also so heartfelt and sweet and funny. and luckily the sequel finding dory is also really good. i highly recommend you check it out.

re: oceangate - i listened to a great podcast episode that explained in a lot of scientific detail why the titan was doomed, including how the features that make carbon fiber a good material for aircraft make it a terrible material for submarines - directional pressure or something.

Thank you, kind person!

I remember reading when this movie first came out that before they started animating it, they had all of the lead animators get their scuba diving licenses and do a certain amount of hours in the great barrier reef. You can really really tell!

Clare Manion

I don't know if this is accurate, but I want to say the first time I saw this was in Spanish... I would've been a freshman in high school at the time, and I vaguely remember watching this in my Spanish class when we had a substitute. At any rate, it's a wonderful movie. It does something that feels incredibly rare now - it's a movie that's written for kids, but there are jokes in there that entertain the adults as well. And then by the same token, some of the more emotional moments work for a kid, but hit much harder for an adult. That's truly brilliant writing, and in many ways, what set Pixar apart from other studios at the time... I don't know if there's a good example of this more recently.

Lots of the marine biology is right, and lots of it is wrong. I’m sure they put a lot of research effort into the scenery and the different ecosystems. Without doing my own deep dive, I’m pretty sure that everything that was depicted as living on the reef really does live there together, and the background fish were moving in and out of the reef in a realistic way. The really major departure from realism comes from anthropomorphizing the creatures and their relationships. Most of the creatures would be trying to eat each other the whole time, including during the school scenes with professor ray. The flounder is an ambush predator, as is the octopus. With the exception of the seahorse fathers, none of the rest of the fish maintain parental roles after eggs hatch. More than 99.5% of sea turtle hatchlings die before the age of 1, and most don’t make it out of the nest and into the water because so many things like to eat them, including mammals , snakes, and birds. The reef fish wouldn’t make it on a journey like Marlin and Dory took because the changes in temperature, salinity, and turbidity would not be survivable. Oh, and don’t flush live fish, even on the coast - the journey from the drain to the ocean goes through a water reclamation facility and experiences processes with both mechanical and chemical components that would be lethal. Much of the rest of it is true, though, like the way the jellyfish stun their prey with their tentacles, like how the clownfish are inured to stings while living in anemones, and the way anglerfish lure their prey with bioluminescence in the murky, pelagic depths. As long as you take everything with a gigantic grain of sea salt, it’s a very educational tale and a great movie to inspire interest in the ocean. It’s a gorgeous movie with a great message for humans and their relationships, and if it inspires marine conservation and environmental stewardship, that’s a bonus.

in Australia we have a film museum in Melbourne called ACMI (Australian center for moving image) which has various exhibitions, I recently went there for an exhibition where they displayed pieces from blade runner 2049 and the costumes from black panther for a exhibition celebrating the future depicted in cinema

Our glorious Great Barrier Reef, Far North Queensland in Australia- world heritage site, featured in the beginning and then the rest of our East Coast ocean down to Sydney Harbour and lots of our amazing sea life! Some of our great Aussie actors voicing characters too. The legendary Bill Hunter voicing the dentist and Geoffrey Rush as Nigel the Pelican. The Clown fish on the reef are just so cute and lots of other amazing tropical fish there. The Cairns Aquarian which is in the city that has the reef off the coast has some fabulous displays of them and the corals in huge tanks. Dory is a Regal Blue Tang. The Green Sea Turtles are the MVP’s of the whole movie!

Childhood favorite, oh my gosh 🥺

Jonathan

I can’t watch this movie anymore without linking it to Weeds where the voice of Nemo played one of Mary Louise Parker’s kids on the show.

"I had woot canal !!!"

I needed this after watching the Blackadder finale!

Lola Lirola

Aw, I'm just adding to everyone who said this movie is just so delightful. Just so sweet and heartfelt. And I loved learning some sea life stuff in the comments too! (Edited for typos I didn't even notice until an hour later when someone liked my comment! 🤦😅)

Paul T Hewes

One of the things you missed is that the tooth the dentist pulled was that of the Australian Prime Minister! "Good thing I pulled the right one, eh Prime Minister."

Heather

Did you go to Foggy Bottom?

Tyler Explains It All

So, there actually was a Pixar Animation exhibit at the Nature and Science Museum in Denver from October 2019 to April 2020. I went many times, it was amazing. I actually got to see how they animated stuff and you got to make your own mock animations. It was amazing!

GDF

This is a delightful film that I hadn't seen since childhood and I picked up on a lot more stuff this time around. Can't wait for when you guys watch UP as I think you'll find that delightful too.

Nannette

You guys should watch the sequel Finding Dory. As far as sequels go it's probably one of the better ones

Nannette

I too hope they watch Finding Dory! And I agree that it’s a solid pixar sequel!

Raven Dark

What a great reaction, guys. Thank you so much for a fun watch. I got so excited when you guys said how much you love sea turtles. Couldn't wait for you to meet Crush, and your reaction to him didn't disappoint. Oh, and I agree with others who said you should watch Finding Dory. It's great. I have a couple of movie recommendations for you. After seeing certain parts of your reaction to this movie, I highly recommend you react to Tarzan. I believe it's the tail end of Renissance Disney, but for it's time, the animation is fantastic. And since you love Wall-E so much, you have got to watch The Wild Robot. If you reacted to Wall-E on here, you likely had people asking for The Wild Robot in the comments. The animation in that one is GORGEOUS, and the whole movie is just wonderful.

Can’t watch the seagulls scene without thinking of the New York Knicks now! * Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike*

I think it's the Monster's Inc. DVD, but there's an entire special feature that has the creators tour the Pixar studio.
