I absolutely adore the message behind this film and how it perfectly encapsulates the love a parent has for their child. Also the Aussie representation was something I didn't know I needed. Enjoy :)

"Is that how the rest of the world thinks about Sydney: the Opera House?"
Yes, in the same way as the Statue of Liberty for New York or the Colosseum for Rome.
And Big Ben for London
Yes!
And Big Ben for London 😂
And don't forget the eiffel tower for Paris
@@regina914And the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the pyramids and the sphinx in Egypt.
You yelling “Just read it!” at the same time as Marlon killed me 🤣
I read your comment as that happened. Its hilarious lmao
Funny you asked why they put that scene at the start of the movie because it was originally a flashback later in the movie. It was only when test audiences said they didn't like Marlin that they decided to move it to the start of the movie to make us sympathetic to him.
Oooh interesting. Did not know this
Good decision
Actually good decision
I didn't know it was a flashback, and I watched this multiple times since its release.
I'd prolly be sympathetic even after. Does only knowing the reason after makes it that hard for people to understand a character? Is this why people hate Abby in TLOU2? 😂
Fun fact: they named the shark Bruce because that was the sharks name in Jaws
Well, the name of the Roboter-Shark-Prob...
And because his name is Bruce, he of course must be Australian.
I literally just posted that comment. You beat me by 10 days. So many younger people don't get that reference. That name was not used in the movie if I remember correctly. It was a behind the scenes thing.
The "teeth" on the whale is what I believe is called baleen plates which the whale uses to filter its food from the water around it.
Right... they're made of keratin, same material as hair and fingernails.
The baleen plates are also the part of the whale that was used in stays and corsets. Despite being referred to as “whalebone” it’s actually quite flexible.
@@krysnelson9987 Slivers of bone that thin are fairly flexible.
@@tracy4290I could see that. Not sure if actual bone would soften and become malleable enough to mould to contours with body heat the same way as baleen did, but to be fair I’ve never looked that up.
@@krysnelson9987 Not with body heat, but by soaking it, maybe?? Since it's porous and can take on more "bend" when it's still in a living creature. Dried out bone is much more brittle.
Can confirm, whenever something mentions Sydney, I always have the opera house in my mind.
Yep. Along with the Outback, Great Barrier Reef, and all the animals.
I'm a Brit and yep!
Funny, I always think about Finding Nemo when someone mentions Sydney lol.
@@ljb5163 yep it's p Sherman 42 wallaby way Sydney for me
Opera house, outback, wildlife, and Steve Irwin
It was a barracuda that killed Coral, not a shark.
They’re faster than 🦈.
How could Darla kill Coral and the 399 Eggs?
@@drquem4279 barracuda, actually.
@@nathancruz9172 Thats The Joke. In The Brazilian Dub, Darla says she is a Barracuda
@@drquem4279 i thought she said piranha, from the amazon.
"PSYCHO" THEME FOR DARLA STILL CRACKS ME UP!!😂😂😂😂😂
*gnashes teeth* I'm a piranha, they live in the Amazon! LMAO 🤣 iconic hehe ❤
"Look who's out of the anemone." ... "shocking, I know" Lol Joke before they even ask him for a joke. Marlin's dry background humor is def. his type of clowning.
😂😂 that's awesome I've never caught that ✨️🌸
I caught that literally while watching this video and went, “OMG, the pun 🤣”
40:25 "I look at you, and I'm home."
Many sequences in this movie move me, but for some reason Dory's monologue always triggers the waterworks lol
Me too
same! 😢
"Is that how the rest of the world sees Sydney?"
Yes. The way I'm sure when you imagine Paris you see the Eiffel Tower, when I imagine Sydney it's just the Opera House. Australia as a whole gets the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, and Kangaroos added to it. Lol.
yes
Well, the Opera House and that huge bridge next to it
Uluru is pretty iconic as well.
@@ccthomas Had to google what that was to see if I maybe knew it visually if not by name. Nope. It looks cool and I'll probably check it out if I visit Australia. But I can't think of a single piece of media or advertising I've ever seen of that rock before 😅
@@ccthomas
Yep, outback steakhouse has a mural of it here in the States lol at least, the one around me had one
"Hey, at least he's not competing with a bunch of siblings" lol spoken like a true middle child 😂
The address that everybody in the world knows: P. Sherman, 42 Wallebyway, Sidney 😅
Sadly it's a fake address. Can you imagine the real estate price?
kinda like Route 66. real street, fake place
ironic then that you wrote the address wrong haha 😄 Wallaby Way not Wallebyway. Things'd get lost in the post with you 😄
Balerno plates oscar
@@Jzombi301 Route 66 is not a place. It was a highway. It eventually went out of commission because it was replaced by the interstate freeway system, but it used to run through the US, and was famous.
Fun fact: Turtles actually get high off jellyfish, so it makes sense why they were there at the right time, and why they seemed high.
Edit: it's actually a myth but it doesn't take away from the fact that turtles still love to eat them. I believe Pixer did decide to play off the myth though.
To be fair they didn't seem high he did just Crush!
Actually, that is a false myth. They do love to eat them and cant feel stings so that's why they were there.
@lauralynn1124 yea I figured that out right after posting the comment 😭 I'll edit it
@@sushi513 crush is one of the best minor characters in a Pixar movie he has his own Q&A sing at a Disney park I would assume animal adventure but I don't know I'm constantly seeing videos of people asking him questions and him actually answering and no I'm not talking about somebody in costume or an animatronic know they've got like a movie screen and he's on there and they actually have him react to what the person says and whoever is doing the voice is coming up with it right then and it is so wild
@@brandibastian4193I think it’s on the Disney cruise
I think the scene where Nemo goes with his class the first time is one of the most beautiful animated scenes ever. And I can no longer see a seagull without thinking "Mine! Mine! Mine!". 😂
Captain Barbosa voicing a pelican never gets old 👌
I never realized that it was the same voice actor until you said that!
@@jessc.994Yep! Captain Barbosa, Norman Osborn, Russ Cargill, Bill Dauterive, etc. Lol
@@Little1Cave Barbossa is not Norman Osborn - Geoffrey Rush is Barbossa, Willem Dafoe is Norman.
@@pivotguydc1149 I was referring to multiple cast members in the movie (Rush, Dafoe, Brooks, and Root).
The "must be Americans" line is extra funny because it was written by Americans. We're self aware 😂
As a guy whose father was the best friend whole way to adulthood and is long gone, Nemo always makes me feel tight in the chest.
It feels like the only time I’ve ever had a single dad, after he divorced my mom in some reason. Anyway, he loved finding Nemo.
As a guy who NEVER cries and whose relationship with my dad was strained for a bit after I came out but is now stronger than ever, I couldn't get through this movie without ugly crying if I tried. And I've seen it like 30 times minimum at this point lmao. It came out when my mom was pregnant with my little sister and she loved it so much and it made her so emotional that she went to see it in theaters 9 times and took my older sister and I with her 7 of those times. Then we got the DVD and watched it a bunch more over the years, and now it always available on Disney+.
My Mom passed away shorty after I was born and my Dad did everything in his power to take care of me and raise me. We loved watching Finding Nemo together. I’m sorry to hear you lost your Father, just hold those memories close and never forget them.
This movie hits different for me. I have autism and was babied badly by my parents, and my father still babies me and talks to me like Im "special", even as an Adult. So, it's more emotion for me in the fact I WISH my parents would realize I'm not so weak and stupid and need to be treated like a 5-year-old... my dad still wants to hold my hand when crossing the street and Im almost 33.
Aww, they love you so much
@@divinelangene6813dude.
@@divinelangene6813 yea, too bad that respect doesn't come with that love
@@iratetrolls ❤
According to my parents, when I watched this movie as a little kid after the opening scene I yelled "Where's Coral?!" and the theater laughed
That’s kinda embarrassed. 😳
Adorable
I went to watch a pantomime of Snow White when I was a kid. The scene where she eats the apple and "dies", I yelled "wake up, Snow White!" 😂😂
Who's gonna tell em'
I always appreciate that they establish Marlin and Nemo’s dynamic as a positive one at the start of the movie. Despite his flaws Marlin’s still trying his best to be a good dad, and despite his frustrations Nemo still loves him dearly.
"And I shall name him Squishy". That’s what I call my dog Chester more than his actually name because he is my SQUISHY!!!
I shall hug it and squeeze it and call it george!
We call our cat squeak (real name Helena) because she squeaks
Same, me and my mom have a Chinchilla named Mei-Mei (after Meilin Lee from Turning Red), and we don't call her Mei-Mei nearly as much as my mom calls her Lala and I call her Floofimal😂💖
I have a pet rabbit and I call him Squishy too even though it’s not his name.
17:17 the timing was actually insane lol
EXACT intonation too. 😂😂😂
Thank you for time stamping because I plan on coming back to this part more than once. 😆
Yeah I know right. And he did that in another movie reaction too! Dude reads scripwriters' minds lol
@@justacarat2638 oh my gosh that’s hysterical, which other movie??
The little boy who plays Nemo is Alexander Gould. Fun Fact, Finding Dory was made 13 years after Finding Nemo. He obviously couldn’t play Nemo again since he was an adult but they still gave him a role as one the men who was in the truck.
I didn’t know that! That’s so cool!
Honestly one of the cutest things I've ever heard in a kid's movie is.... "Awww, you guys made me ink...." -Pearl the octopus
I repeat "he touched the butt!" frequently.
@@AmyL._orcgirl Also a funny line
Also the part where they keep saying sea anemone wrong lol
@@gabe6495 To be fair, it is a bit tricky to say
Well... Flower the skunk in Bambi is pretty cute too: "Oh, that’s all right. He can call me a flower if he wants to" 🥰. And baby Dory in finding Dory: "I like sand, sand is squishy" ❤
2:10 actually, originally they didn't start with Marlin's tragic backstory, but it was a flashback later on in the movie. The audience hated Marlin up until that point, not understanding his over-protectiveness and stuck-up nature. That's why they moved the scene to the beginning, so we know right away the pain he's in and understand his worries
according to my parents, I was obsessed with this movie as a toddler and would watch it every day. I hadn’t put together what happens in the first scene, until randomly one day i got smart enough to put it together and I broke down sobbing. Like it just finally clicked that day that the mom and nemo’s siblings died. Before that I had been too young to realize. And so then when I did realize I was mildly traumatized (i’m being dramatic lmao but it was definitely a shock to 2 year old me)
My movie that had me realise when a death had occurred was brother bear😢 both me and my brother cry when we watch it
@@lillyf973I just got emotional 😭 when, I lost my relatives.
5:17
Fun fact, the animators originally had the opening scene as a flashback later in the film, but early screening audiences really disliked Marlin for his overprotective nature for the most part of the film without his trauma context, so they decided to put it as a prologue instead, and by you saying this, you're proving it was a good move
This movie has a special place in my heart because my parents met with an accident while going to deliver me (everyone's fine and alive) giving a big scare. And just like Nemo, one of my hands is tinier and has no fingers. My dad saw this movie and started calling my hand my "lucky fin". It's a core memory for me
Wow - My son has no fingers on his left hand and it is small too. (And I had a car accident when 4 months pregnant). Also love nemo for same reason as you. Take care.
@@lauraallington1236 woah..
So fascinating how 2 strangers' lives could be so similar.
I wish the best for u and your son
There is a big point that everyone misses about the fish in the tank. He only took 2 from the Reef 🪸 and they both had injured fins. In his eyes, he was bringing them to a safe, shallow place where he knew they could swim. Does that make his actions correct, absolutely not. Does it explain his mindset a little better, yes.
They ALSO assigned odd traits to each fish from the stores, split-personality, OCD, anger, cleanliness, and obsession. They did this to show that while animals that come from stores are still kind and caring, they are going to have some major problems (usually due to breeding practices). It is a lesson that was inserted to teach everyone subliminally, and is one that a lot of people probably missed.
Nah, Gill's fin is injured only after the fish tank,, when he tried to escape
@@arthurbarbosadelira7505 He only stated that was how he got the scars on his face, which would make sense because coming from the ocean he would be attempting to get back. The way he addressed his fin, and everyone else addressed it was as if he had it when he arrived in the tank.
43:30 The little flashback to Marlin holding Nemo as an egg, because parents always remember holding their children as babies....Oooowwww.
Gets me every time 🥺
The “bad” fish in the beginning is a barracuda
I still remember: I am 4 years old, and together with a kindergarten group we are going to watch a cartoon for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE in the cinema. And it was Finding Nemo. I still remember that day and those emotions.... ✊🏻🤧
That so sweet. I have kind of the same memory but with Monsters inc. My dad picked me up from kindergarten like any other day, but instead of going home, we went to the movies and watched Monsters inc. It's the first time I remember going to the movie theatre and I've loved it ever since. Such a fond memory.
I believe Finding Nemo was the first movie I ever watched at the cinema as well!
@@AutumnSun140 The first movie I remember watching in a theater was The Empire Strikes Back. 😛
As an American, the Sydney Opera House is to Sydney what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris.
My dad was a home theater tech and he always kept a copy of this DVD in his work van to show clients their new displays because the animation was so beautiful. It still holds up 20 years later!
I feel like for the longest time you even look at a catalogue that shows displays they have an image of Crush, Marlin and Dory on them.
“Dammit, Pixar!” Is a familiar cry.
To clarify, the reason he was able to tank the jelly fish is because Clownfish have a mucus layer on them thicker than normal fish which helps protect them from stuff like sea anemones where other fish would get stung, the jellyfish likely have more potent stingers and toxin though hence why he succumbed in the end
The Tank Gang are literally Squad Goals. I love their Team Work. The transition from Marlin/Dory and Nemo/Tank Gang scenes are well done. Andrew Stanton is a genius for directing this movie and soon he'll be directing Toy Story 5.
"It's ok, daddy is here...
I will never let anything happen to you."
-Marlin, finding Nemo-
Never fails to tear me up...
The character growth too
“Goodbye, son. Go have an adventure.”
from the dentist's point of view, Nemo was a tiny clownfish and struggling to swim. From his perspective, he WAS saving him.
By taking him out of the wild
To later he give Nemo to his niece that kills the fishes as gift shaking the bag
@@SilvanaPuris2310He's not a good fish owner. The tank is too small for all these types of fish. But i dont think its malice.
Fun facts in this movie: Bruce said he never met his father. Well, male sharks leave the female after mating, so thats true. Gill is a moorish idol, a fish species that is known for not doing well in captivity. So it fits that he is the one who constantly comes up with escape plans. Jaques is a skunk cleaner shrimp, these shrimps can often be seen cleaning the teeth of other fish species like morays. The „teeth“ of krill eating whales are called baleen and work like a tight rake: The whale takes a big gulp of water with krill, then pushes the water through the baleen out again but the krill remains stuck. Also those aren’t true teeth since they are made out of keratin like our hair and fingernails
I really like such attention to detail
"Sea Monkey has my money." Never fails to crack me up. 😂
Same haha!
Good on you for noticing the wrong kid was smacked for the “he looks funny” comment in the beginning. I didn’t see that until I was ~20 and had grown up watching this. Immediately called my dad in, who also loves this movie, and apparently he had never seen it either but we were DYING of laughter. The things you notice the more you watch😂 I think Disney movies in particular are special this way, there’s always something you notice that makes you love it even more❤
17:17 the synchronized "just read it" 😂
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 at the time. It’s still impressive to this day.
As a disabled person I understand Nemo being mad that his father won't let him do things. But as the older sister of 4 I understand being protective of the little ones.
Fun fact: I saw fish of Dory's species in real life and they actually have those "freckles" on their face like her. They're so cute! 🥺
The soundtrack of finding nemo still makes me sob. It’s so nostalgic. It was the first movie I saw in cinemas when I was a baby and it just hits me like a song from a past life. Truly makes the movie that much more special. This is peak pixar. When the story transcends time and you can watch it at any point in life and it still resonates. Can’t wait for Oscar to watch finding dory
It's interesting how despite being an adult you seem to be terrified of Bruce like your childhood fear of him makes you instinctually jump when he moves
I half expected him to leave the room again lol. shark trauma coming back
okay so now i’m gonna need a shark tale reaction 😭🤞🏾
also fun fact i love about this movie: turtles could technically get “high” off eating jellyfish. turtles have the same thc receptors as humans which i find really fascinating
About the whale: This is a baleen whale (looks like a humpback to me), so those aren't teeth, but, well, baleen. :D Basically, this is a filter system consisting of keratin (the same material that shapes our hair and fingernails), like long bristles. To feed, whales take in a mouthful of water (where Dory and Marlin were swallowed), then press out the water through the baleen, where the krill/plankton/small fish they eat will be filtered out and swallowed. The one in the movie had something different in mind for Dory and Marlin, luckily. :D All whales who have actual teeth are, in fact, dolphins, including Orcas etc. ... who are just very big dolphins. :3
Thank you. I was trying to remember what their "teeth" are actually called
Hmm, I know pilot, narwhal and beluga whales are dolphin adjacent, but I’m not so sure about sperm whales. Aside from them being cetaceans and having teeth, I don’t think they’re all that similar…
This actually prompted me to do some research on the subject. Delphinoidea (dolphins, porpoises, and beluga/narwhals) are just one clade of the toothed whales, and they’re most closely related to beaked whales, which are then in turn linked all the way back to the sperm whales. It appears Sperm whales are the most distantly related of all toothed whales and are the first evolutionary divergence of what eventually became the largest group of toothed whales, the dolphins and porpoises.
I’m glad you brought this question to mind. I always enjoy learning new things, and anything that prompts a deep dive is very welcome. lol
Great explanation (though I'm also iffy on sperm whales being close to dolphins), but that's definitely some sort of fin whale, not a humpback.
Omg, I realized around 5:50 how incredible the sound mixing is in this movie-- the voices move directionally (in stereo) as the characters swim around. The singing teacher is off screen but you can tell where he is all the time, even when the camera switches angles it puts him on the other side in a way that keeps our brain oriented. AND THEN, right after that, THE DROPOFF!! Even the fricking music does it-- listen to that little sting at 6:15!!! The way it swells from left to right, and it's far off in our right ear we hear that little mystical flute trill. Like a literal pied piper making us wonder what secrets lie just beyond where we can see... 👻
I'm so glad I noticed this lol. What incredible work they did on this, essentially storyboarding the sound & score alongside the animation itself.
Crush is voiced by director Andrew Stanton, who also reprises him in Finding Dory. Squirtis voiced by Nick Bird, Pixar director Brad Bird's son, who also voiced Rusty the bike boy in The Incredibles (which his dad directed).
33:56, That is not the whale's teeth, that is called baelleen, which belongs to a group of whales which are blue whales, humpback whales, minky whales, and fin whales, and there are toothed whales, which are belugas, orcas and bowheads. And this is how the baeleen works. First water goes through the baeleen, then it comes out and sucks everything in, kinda like a filter.
Bowheads aren't toothed whales; they're also baleen whales, just like their closest relatives the right whales. Sperm whales, however, are toothed whales.
@@BrianStorm742 yep that was a mistake
I feel you with the whole being afraid of sharks thing. I remember watching Deep Blue Sea as a 5 or 6 year old kid. That movie traumatized me so much as a kid. i was afraid of taking baths or going in the pool for a while afterward.
In fact, i have a vivid memory of me diving under the water in my bathtub, and when i opened my eyes i could see the shark clear as day circling me. (Despite my bathtub obviously not being big enough to house a shark or any other logical reason why that shark wouldn't be there.)
The imagination and minds of children really are powerful.
I was at a huge convention with people ages 18-32 and one night was supposed to be the big movie night. Suggestions ranged from horror to comedy to thriller. Finding Nemo won. It was amazing. Most of the older people hadn’t seen it since we were kids and lots of younger people hadn’t seen it at all yet.
What's funny about the shark being named "Bruce" is that it's the nickname the crew gave to the mechanical shark from the movie, Jaws.
I like how Peach takes a maternal role for Nemo.
even years later this film is still amazing ( 10:28 fish are friends not food best line of the movie)
My dad & I used to do “Fin, noggin’, dude” to each other all the time when I was a kid. Still do occasionally.
You know you've been watching too much Cocoa Couch when you find yourself saying "shivers" randomly even though you're French x)
I literally was just thinking about how I wanna watch a new video of yours and then you immediately post!!!! Thanks so much haha❤
Since you mentioned how hard it must be for Dory to have short term memory, I think you should watch Finding Dory. It explores her perspective more
I seriously love Dory she may have memory problems but she has a good heart and always find the bright side of the bad things
This reaction was good as always. I always cry when Dory tells Marvin that she feels home when she lookes at him. I also recommend you watch Finding Dory it is kind of an sequel to finding Nemo. its so good and wholesome and you find out about Dorys backstory.
Omgggg I would’ve thought as an Aussie you would’ve seen this. This is one of my first introductions to Australia as a child and now I live here!
i'm loving these childhood journey, do not stop!
To the put the EAC into perspective: It is like a massive underwater conveyer belt transporting 30 million cubic metres of water per second with speeds that reach up to seven kilometres per hour To put that into perspective, this equates to over 16,000 Olympic swimming pools flowing along the coast every second, making it the largest ocean current close to the shores of Australia
I can't believe this movie is 21 years old. Man that makes ME feel old. Haven't rewatched this movie since I was a kid and man what a movie! This and Shrek were total cultural phenomenon for a reason. Such good movies and such unique and fresh ideas at the time
Finding Nemo was my favorite movie as a toddler. Hence, I can probably quote the whole thing by heart, I've seen it so many times. Yet nothing prepared me for rewatching it at a much older age and actually catching all the emotional feels!
Ahh, the barracuda, known to feed primarily by biting prey in half, even some the size of a tuna. Tough ones, those are. Marlin was lucky to get the tail instead of the tooth.
As for the sharks, they're not dangerous to humans unless provoked... or if the human has a wound. Blood drives them into an uncontrollable frenzy.
They don't really care for human blood actually
@@becca-ux1rn Yeah, but it still has enough effect on them to be dangerous in a fresh wound. I, for one, am not too keen to test it.
Love the fact that when you were expressing your hate for sharks you were wearing a gym shark shirt just made it all funnier 😂
Oh yeh 😆😆
I always thought the fish at the beginning that ate Marlin's family was a barracuda, instead of a shark.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I remember being 4 and having the DVD and somehow, I got the perfect stickers to put on the case. I put clownfish and bubbles on the case to fit with it. XD
Another point I want to say since my mom overheard me watching this, she said that she loves this movie as well for multiple reasons. She says that something a lot of people overlook is that Nemo has a disability. And that's another reason why Marlin was so overprotective. Like a lot of other parents who's children have disabilities. And this movie helps with representing that.
Not to mention all the other fish with disabilities and disorders in this film.
Yes, the setting is in Australia, the Great Barrier Reef
Here's a fact I find uncanny: So, this movie starts off with killing off a mother, right? Ok. Alexander Gould was the OG actor of Nemo in this movie. But at least 3 years later, he got the role of Bambi in the Bambi midquel, whose mother dies as well. Coincidence??
I think NOT!!!!! 🥸
When Dory bounces on the jellyfish 🪼 it looks like she’s in a mini trampoline park, but the trampolines can sting u if ur not careful enough
Fun fact: Ellen Degeneres voiced Dory
William Dafoe did voiced Gill
39:30 "All the animals have gone MAD!!!!!" 😂
The music is definitely a highlight and one of the best scores in Pixar. Thomas Newman is truly the underdog of legends!
Yeah, John Ratzenberger does voice the Moonfish School in his movie and did Mack in the Cars trilogy. He also voiced Hamm in the Toy Story franchise, PT Flea in A Bug's Life, The Abonible Snowman in Monsters, Inc., Monsters Univeristy and Monsters At Work, The Underminer in The Incredibles 1 and 2, Mustafa in Ratatouille, John in WALL-E, Construction Foreman Tom in Up, Gordon in Brave, Fritz in Inside Out 1 and 2, Earl in The Good Dinosaur, Bill the Crab in Finding Dory, Juan Ortodoncia in Coco and Construction Worker Fennwick in Onward (which was his last voice role as being Pixar's Goodluck Charm, in Soul a background character that looks like him appears but he have no lines). For unknown reason he stopped voiced in the Pixar movies, which is rumored to be a despute over that Ratzenberger didn't want to voice characters with just one line and with that tradition broken in Soul, Pixar thought there was no point to continue. He did reprise Fritz for Inside Out 2, though.
Nowadays when I think of Australia, I think of a family of Heeler dogs. 🤣🤣
16:28 realistically fish of the upper reef to swim down to the lower reef like that they would die due to the pressure and cold. This is been talked about in a video of a scientist, who studied and discussed this movie.
17:18 this moment was PERFECT 😂
Hehe I love how you reacted to everything Aussie related. Anyway, gosh this is one of those movies that I've seen sooo many times as a kid but then I stopped watching it for many years. This was the first time since then, and for some reason I was kinda tearing up for the last like 15-20 mins of the movie. I didn't expect that. But I can really relate to the over protective parent thing (as the child, now fully grown lol) and I'm glad this movie touched upon that in such a heartwarming way. Great reaction :)
Nemo meant so much more to my mom and me when I first saw it than I realized. I also have a bad 'fin' like Nemo, and even though I might have been too young to really understand that Nemo had what could be called a 'disability' like me, it still meant so much to me to see Nemo trying his best with what he had.
Off the tails of Brother Bear, Oscar finally gets sentient fish!
This is sooo quotable! My husband & i have so many of these we use all the time!
As an American from Tennessee, yep, Opera House is the first thing I think of when it comes to Sydney. It’s similar to picturing the Eiffel Tower first when you think of Paris or the Statue of Liberty first with New York, though -- if you’ve never been to any of those places, you tend to picture the most famous landmark or building.
"It runs in my family...
atleast... I think it does...
where are they?
Can I help you?" Dory 😂😂😂
Haha, was just thinking of this movie when you said fish are disposable on screen.
Nice watching an Auzzie reacting to this beeing set partly in Australia.
😊
I really enjoy your voice.
Interesting fact. Barracudas do not eat fish eggs they only eat other fish. I know a dark theory on Finding Nemo is that Coral was the one who ate her eggs. Because female clown fish do eat their own eggs. But the Barracuda ate her and that is why Nemo survived. So really the Barracuda is the hero of the story
Now you gotta watch Finding Dory 😊😮🎉
I am a 22 year old boy who loved this movie as a child, but it is only now that I have been able to bring my emotions to light. "Finding Nemo" holds many more treasures, it tells us about overprotection, the fear of the immensity and the unknown, the constant feeling of wanting nothing bad to happen and the internal struggle that comes with it... a cartoon that portrays concepts closely related to anxiety and, going further, with agoraphobia.
Although the main character is Nemo, the character that best embodies the reality that a person with agoraphobia lives inside him day by day is Marlin, his father, an illusionary clownfish who radically changes his way of seeing things when a barracuda kills his partner and the children they were expecting, all except one: Nemo. From then on, Marlin makes a firm promise to himself that he will prevent anything bad from happening to his son. The experience of loss generates in him a great sense of insecurity, the presence of constant danger and the need to look for a safe place where he can live a peaceful life.
the beginning gets even sadder when you realize that there didnt have to be death. Barracudas usually do not eat fish roe/eggs and rarely hunt at coral reefs. Also, sea anemones have toxins that harm most sea creatures except some they form a “relationship” with (e.g Clownfish)
So if Coral wouldve gone into the anemone with Marlin they’d most likely been safe (as well as their eggs) as the anemone wouldve hurt the barracuda if it tried entering.
I remember watching this in the theater when I was a kid. Absolutely spectacular, especially the animation for its time. I totally understand Marlin's overprotectiveness as an adult. Totally one of the best Pixar dads. 🥰❤️❤️
Now to watch Finding Dory
Loved how they used the Psycho music for Darla! And that movie perfectly depicted the behavior and mentality of seagulls!
It may have already been shared but the great white shark being named Bruce is a tip of the hat to Jaws in that Spielberg named the mechanical shark Bruce, which was the name of his lawyer as lawyers are often referred to as sharks.
Talassophobia people hiding the eyes with the open ocean scenes but still in love with the movie 🤝
This movie was an issue my whole life!
20:27. yes, thats the same VA, John Ratzenberger. Up until just recently, hes been in EVERY pixar movie. Sometmes its a cameo, sometimes is a more major character. the only four he is not in are Luca, Soul, Lightyear, and Turning Red.
I always thought this was a pretty intense story for a child but my daughter loved it and as a mother I have never seen this when I didn't cry. It is so brilliant in so many ways. I love seeing a young Aussie man seeing this for the first time. I'm a US American and have never been to Australia. Your perspective is wonderful. For instance the "heavy" accent of Bruce. I consider all Aussie accents heavy. No ear at all. BTW that a great white was named Bruce is significant in American cinema history. The 25 foot great white in Jaws was nicknamed Bruce.
