I liked that they never had Marlin and Dory hook up after finding Nemo, as you might have expected. Instead, they stay as good pals, which is a great representation of platonic male/female friendships.

People often forget that, appart from the trauma Marlin went through, Nemo is actually a disabled character, and as a disabled person since birth, Nemo's was such an amazing representation. The not understanding why he is being so protected when everyone else (of his own age) isn't, is such a real thing.

I wondered how the Dentist only ever seemed minorly inconvenienced by a Pelican bursting into his office but then I remembered Australians are built different.

People say the lesson of this movie is overcoming grief and learning to let your kids go. This is the lesson I take: THE OCEAN IS F*CKING TERRIFYING.

Dory's appeal for Marlin not to leave after he thinks Nemo is gone is one of the biggest tear-jerkers in the film. She so desperately doesn't want to be alone.

4:00 The environmentalism message from Finding Nemo was trying to discourage people from owning tropical fish as pets. It completely backfired because it caused a spike in clownfish sales.

'Marlin could transition' Clownfish are actually hermaphroditic animals; when a clownfish's mate dies, they change gender to fit the role they need to in an anemone. So this is entirely possible.

This story, and the sequel, is one of my favorite stories of grief, loss, and learning to let go. The power of found family and the enduring strength of true parental love.

17:53 FUN FACT! In Clownfish schools, When the female clownfish dies the most dominant male transitions into becoming the new female! So biologically speaking. Marlin should be transitioning into a female Clown Fish!

This is pretty much another Pixar classic. “Fish are friends, not food.”

I’m like fully convinced the turtle in this movie was high as shit on weed.

This movie really resonates with me for a lot of personal reasons. Also, this movie has a lot of iconic dialogue

Even though i loved watching this movie as a kid I kinda remember how it used to lowkey give me anxiety, like the characters are in danger every other minute 💀

“It should’ve been just Dude Crush the movie.” So it would’ve been Crush and Ed O’Neil octopus trying to help Dori find her parents. That sounds awesome.

I’m glad they acknowledged how creepy this movie really is - as a kid I was freaked out by the barracuda, the sharks, Darla, the dentist torture stuff and the freaky light fish thing. I’m afraid of the ocean and it’s probably because of this movie. Still a good movie tho 7/10

Am i the only one that was terrified by the scubadiver capturing Nemo as a kid

8:36 OMG THATS WILLEM DAFOE !!!

8:42 Ain’t no way you all thought you could reference the YTP Finding Nemo (Frying Nemo) and get away with it

Fun Fact: Gill was voiced by Willem DaFoe, a fact I didn’t know until very, very, recently

i remeber when disney did those subtle background references, i always wished there were Ariel characters like flounder in the background, or there was like a flaming ship really tiny in the background, like both stories took place at the same time in the same sea

This movie has always been a major thing for me and my Dad. We always love to quote the lines to each other. ❤ Love that guy and this movie. Very quotable.

8:21 I was at an aquarium with my sister and brother-in-law a few months ago and someone screamed "SHARKBAIT, HOO HAHA" 😭

Does anyone remember that one animation where they take Nemo, cut him up, and serve him as food or something like that?

The next Pixar movie they need to watch is Soul. The story in that movie is amazing.

The jellyfish level was my favourite part of the GBA version of the tie-in game. Was just fun.

Frying Nemo flashbacks 8:43

At the end where he says “next stop, knowledge,” I used to think he was saying college.

@16:52 Finding Nemo has such a strong voice-cast. Willem Dafoe as Gill?? Shout out to Albert Brooks & Ellen for killing the leads.

5:54 yeah! maybe a little bit, but I guess that's what made it so memorable for me. literally one of a few movies I haven't rewatched since childhood and I still remember the plot very well

14:01 You know Jack is white when he says McDonald's sprite is spicy

I used to watch this movie a lot as a baby to the point where i recited the chants from the fish in the dentist's office

17:52 Good news for Kor. Clownfish are all born male, but will transition to Female if the circumstances call for it. It also means that biologically speaking, there's a decent chance Marlin and Nemo will procreate as they lost the only female clownfish in the reef

8:45 is giving me flashbacks of the Frying Nemo YTP quadrilogy

6:25 evidently you need to watch that one movie or wherever where Adam Sandler says "i'm waiting for them to play gangnam style"

1:36 Fun fact: That comment from Marlin was not unwarrented. Knowing the messed up world of Sea snails...yeah he saved his son there

14:41 I just realized: this movie was probably several people's vore awakening.

1:42 "that snail was about to charge" Took along time for me to learn it wasn't charging $$

2:35 Nemo swam so Bluey could run🫡

"Maybe marlin will transition" that's straight up a theory matpat made i am not joking

15:20 she said 3 words 💀💀

14:46 well given how most fish can't chew, they are probably still alive for a good while after being swallowed. There's all kinds of weird shit where fish fight their way back out, use the mouth as shelter or actually survive the whole way through the digestive tract.

Those bento box octopi are based off actual octopie. It's the flapjack octopus. It's probably what they modeled the hot dogs off.

13:30 As a kid, this joke always flew over head, because even in the early 2000s, my parents had street directories - i.e. books of city road maps. It came in handy because they work in real estate. That, and because I misheard the line as "What is it? We're merely asking for directions."

12:16 STM every time they see Mrs Incredible

12:43 My sister and I always found the bit with the finger feathers oddly satisfying.

15:31 I mean... for me personally as a kid, this was my first time ever hearing the _Psycho_ music, so naturally, whenever I heard it, I associated it with a cute little red-haired girl (who kills fish).

8:53 Green Goblin explaining his evil plan but by Pixar

10:39 I mean... when I was a kid, I already related more to Marlin, because I was very much a no-nonsense type, at least in relation to the other kids at school. I think that might also be why I enjoyed _Bedknobs and Broomsticks_ so much as a kid despite it essentially being a _Mary Poppins_ knockoff from the same people who did _Mary Poppins_ - because Miss Price is literally me as a middle-aged cat lady. (also, I meant the _"Mary Poppins_ knockoff" part as a joke, don't take it too seriously)

Wonder if they would watch the pacific rim franchise

You're actually right that this movie is actually for parents - the whole messaging is about how Marlin has to be less of a helicopter parent and give Nemo more freedom because it's bad for their relationship and drives Nemo into danger when he's suffocated.

14:32 Actually, that would be a tad creepy, as if we assume both _Toy Story_ and _Finding Nemo_ take place in their respective years of release, Sid would be in his late teens or early 20s by the time _Finding Nemo_ takes place, and Darla's... literally stated to be 8. It would be like Lisa Simpson going out with the store clerk from _Turning Red_ (because, let's be real, Lisa's perpetually 8, so she would have been 8 in 2002). So... I guess that means Lisa and Devon would have been perfect in 1993?

8:42 For a second, I thought that said "72 hours Roman", and I was like, "Uh... is there another unit of time called Roman hours?"

10:02 bro wtf is this evil ass shot from eden

Finding nemo is a childhood classic

It’s funny you mentioned the thing about “I wonder if the director of this movie lost their kid in a Walmart or something” because the actual inspiration for Finding Nemo stems from Andrew Stanton’s experience as an overprotective parent. He recalled a story once where he took his son for a walk in the park but spent the whole time steering him away from any potential danger and realized afterwards that he’d taken away what could have been a father-son bonding experience by spending the whole day worrying about what could’ve gone wrong, instead of just enjoying the moment

It sounds silly but this movie actually means so much to me. Like I have a marine biology degree because as a kid I asked my mom what job I could have working with the pretty Finding Nemo fish and she said “you could be a marine biologist” and I was like “okay!” And here we are. Still trying to actually find work in that field but I went to school a thousand miles from home to learn about marine biology because this movie inspired me as a kid to love the ocean

3:47 the diver scene scared the shit out of me when I was a kid I don’t know why though of a few reasons Reason number 1. Nemo screaming.(DADDY HELP ME) that shit is burnt into my ears Reason 2. The music sounds like something out of a fucking horror movie. I feel like I’m gonna be stabbed by Norman Bates in a shower. And C. The divers themselves I don’t know it’s just the way that they move looks uncanny The way that they ominously appear from the shadows the way that there bubbles appear When they do show up the way that they give Nemo the cold blank of death The way that you can actually see the divers real life eyes in the goggles,(seriously that’s an amazing detail) I know to the humans. This is all memorising seeing the barrier Reef but to a fish it’s fucking scary. I still standby that this is one of the most scariest things in any “kid-ish” sort of media

As an Australian I do not remember this being Aussie but I do remeber being handed a Great Barrier Reef restoration poster a few hours later in the city (I also remember absolutely despising Darla even as a kid)

The music is so great. Especially the one that plays ominously after nemo is taken and when the fishing net was pulling up

11:28 He sounds like Geoff from Total Drama.

14:27 She looks like if Mabel Pines and Punky Brewster had a baby. (With a bit of Wendy's DNA?)

14:11 Fun fact: this would *not* work in real life, as in cetaceans (whales and dolphins), the respiratory tract actually runs separate from the digestive tract, which is why dolphins communicate with phonic lips (the opening of the blowhole), and whale song is basically like when you vocalise with your nose and mouth closed. And it's also why Snorky the dolphin's mouth movements don't match his speech when he speaks English in that one _Simpsons_ "Treehouse of Horror" episode - because he's actually talking through his nose, and the jaw movement is just so you can tell it's him talking. Also, time to dispel a popular myth while we're on the subject: *no,* dolphins do *not* make those weird clucking noises you hear in anything ever that references dolphins - that's actually a sped-up kookaburra laugh, originally used for the titular dolphin on the show _Flipper,_ and it just cemented in pop culture as the default dolphin sound. Plus, it doesn't help that viewers from outside Australia often mistake the kookaburra's distinct laugh-like call at regular speed for some kind of primate, as it's often used in African jungle settings where it doesn't make sense.

You're a star, keep shining bright!

17:53 I like how what Kor said was so unhinged that they didn’t even include a patreon send off within the actual recording

I’m australian and I only just realised that bruce the shark has an australian accent lmao

9:28 I remember watching this in Spanish, Marlin literally says “Retra-peces” when referring to the delay-fish, and I always thought it sounded like a slur

15:43 Dang, so my sister basically gaslit me for being a normal kid, just because she happen to be mature beyond her years.

My friend and I, like friend language is we just quote Nemo, spongebob and shrek

6:04 I never caught the joke as a kid where she knows how to spell escape.

5:54 actually used to be scared of this movie when i was little😂

Playing dory in this movie is ellen degenres one redeeming quality

Finding Dory is actually pretty good, which I wasn't expecting when I first saw it

Technically marlin is gender fluid since male clownfish can turn into female clownfish once the female clownfish dies!

Top 5 Pixar movies. This really sparked the feeling of adventure in me as a kid. Yknow those underwater levels you played in like Mario Galaxy or something? Haven't you ever just wanted to stay there indefinitely? This movie is where I got my fix

14:19 Dang, it's so weird seeing a location I've actually been to - and *touched* - in a Pixar movie. If there's ever a Pixar movie set in Adelaide, especially if it focuses on the humans and they have Aussie accents, you bet your ash I'ma see it because I'll be so overjoyed.

8:09 8:24 Exacly thank you this movie is a fucking horror Movie

I recently got my first Nintendo switch, and i decided to get animal crossings due to friend recommendation. I was fishing a bit to fill my museum and i caught a surgeon fish (que me learning the name of Dory's species) and a clown fish back to back and i literally gasped and burst into laughter. Loved this movie as a kid, 10/10

When I was little I always called it finding Memo and nobody bothered to correct me.

I and brother watched this movie when we were probably 4-6. We were terrified AND I in particular was traumatized. Literally cried nonstop when nemo was gaken that my parents had to stop playing and we needed to watch it later.

I just realised this movie is about a single dad trying to find his disabled son with the help of a disabled fish, Pixar said yes to autism awareness

Moral of the story the ocean is terrifying and we must destroy it before it destroys us

3:17 bro said that the squid looks like a sausage shaped like a squid 😐

This opening scene did scare the fuck out of me when I was a child 😭

Bro I love your content

13:48 Every vore fetishist ever

3:49 Dang, that major 7th, tho. "YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED" "OH EGADS, my roast is ruined!"

We need a Little Mermaid reaction now!

5:01 Rest in peace, Barry Humphries - vous étiez un trésor national. :(

13:57 Possible _Futurama_ reference? The secret ingredient of Slurm?

Oh man. I use to watch this movie all the time. It will always be memorable for sure

12:31 Same braincell; some of my classmates were so unbelievably annoying with that.

5:07 HA!

I've probably watched this movie over a hundred times in my lifetime. I can literally recite each line of the movie by memory.

P sure Finding Nemo was my very first special interest, when I was toddler age😭 I could probably recite the whole script if I tried

1:58 ngl i thought this was gonna turn into a religious sponsore

"nah thust just play deadmau5 concerts there" Yes, deadmau5 specifically, no one else.

Loved the heavy rain reference

Dude turtle was unironically the best thing about this movie

Finally. I was waiting for you guys to recact to my childhood movie

I used to watch this movie six times a day when I was little, one of my favourite Pixar movies
