I loved this movie as a kid, but you can't imagine the amount of nightmares the barracuda, anglerfish and approaching whale gave me when I was young. Pixar really do be having more balls than Disney.

After this movie came out they had to make a public service announcement telling kids not to flush their fish because all drains "may not" lead to the ocean...lol.

Willem Dafoe as Gill is amazing!

While filming the original Jaws movie, the mechanical shark kept having technical issues. The crew ended up naming him Bruce, and as homage to that shark, the one in this film is also named Bruce.

When Marlin was holding the egg in the beginning, you see the egg was slightly damaged that's how Nemo got the little fin

Dory killed me with Nemo’s names: Chico, Fabio, Bingo, Harpo, and Elmo. 😂

Well, Pixar is owned by Disney now, but back in 2003 it was still independent and had John Lasseter running the show. So a stark difference to how Disney make things today.

Fun fact about sea anemone, they are considered animals, not plants. They grab fish with those tenticles that are covered in stingeres. Clownfish are immune to this toxen so they work together. Clownfish lure prey for the anemone to eat and in exchange the anemone provides shelter for the clownfish. Anemone can also swim around until they find a place they like to settle down in. If conditions change or they are threatened, they just move locations. It's really an interesting fish.

And the theee main characters are disabled by a little fin, near crippling anxiety and short term memory loss. It is really good. Also Finding Dory is a little more spot on about her memory loss being a disability and her past. It is worth a watch.

Did not expect Finding Nemo. It’s one of the best Pixar movies to me!

I’m 31 and Bruce still legitimately scares me when his eyes turn black 😂

Because of the reflections of the water and the lighting, pretty much every frame of the movie took 4 days to render using over 1,000 computers. The lighting for this movie took the next step in animation.

AHHH HE’S FRENCH!!!! 😂 I’m dead

since i haven't seen anyone else mention i yet, here's a little fun fact: did you know that in the original script of the movie that scene at the beginning (technically) wasn't there?

This came out after my boy was born. As a dad, the paranoia is real, but it doesn't last. He's 18 now, and I can't be prouder❤

The final scene when he goes to school brings me to tears every time that "Nemo's Theme" plays

I like that this movie captures the ocean as good as it did. The sea is a huge beautiful place but it can also be dangerous with many different perils around every corner. It's one of Pixar's best films.

Ahhh…when Pixar was at the top of their game. The good ole days.

I don’t think a sea turtle has ever been a bad guy in any movie ever, lol.

Fun Fact: Bruce was named after the mechanical shark in Jaws, which was named after Steven Spielberg's lawyer.
