Seagulls
The Pixar formula of "what if x had feelings" has made for some great animated movies as well as clever humor. There is so much world-building in exploring what fish lives are like under the sea, but there are also some great gags that feature surface-level creatures as well. Finding Nemo doesn't have a high opinion of seagulls, but they are hilariously accurate to anyone who has been annoyed by the birds at the beach. Whenever they see possible food, the mindless birds simply blurt out "Mine...
Tad
Pixar movies are generally seen as smarter family-friendly movies than the average offering. However, they can still lean into the occasional simplistic humor that will certainly get a laugh out of audiences of all ages. When Nemo and his young friends venture out to the dropoff, they spot a boat, which one of the young fish claims is called a "butt." From there, the movie gets a lot of mileage out of the simple mistake, with Nemo defying his father and venturing closer to the boat to touch i...
Anchor
Despite Bruce's best intentions, his shark instincts do take over when he gets the smell of blood. It is a surprisingly chilling moment when the once-friendly shark suddenly becomes a relentless predatorwhom even his fellow sharks can't reason with. It makes for a thrilling chase scene as Marlin and Dory try to escape. But there is the added humor of Bruce's shark friends apologizing for his behavior while also trying to make excuses for him. It is a hilarious extension of the movie's idea of...
Dory
Dory is the hero of Finding Nemoin many ways, even if her inability to remember things becomes an inconvenience at times. One of the most notable moments comes during the climax of the film as Marlin and Dory go their separate ways only for Dory to run into Nemo. When the little clownfish says his name, Dory repeats it in amazement, only to compliment him on it. It is a hilariously frustrating moment for the audience as Dory fails to realize she has found the fish they've been looking for. Th...
Bruce
The scene with the sharks is probably the most darkly-humorous sequence of the entire film.Using the clever art of misdirection, the Pixar team set audiences up for a horror scene but delivered one of the most surprisingly funny moments in any Pixar feature. Along with their memorable oath, Bruce delivers this promise that makes quite a quirky jab at shark fin soup. Shark fin soup has its roots in Southeast Asia, but in the modern day has been condemned due to growing concerns about killing t...
Gill
Though his gruff persona and intimidating look make for an intense introduction, Gill is actually one of the most likable characters in Finding Nemo. He is the tough yet optimistic leader of the trapped fish in the dentist's office, always holding onto the hope that they will escape back to the ocean. The comment, of course, is in direct reference to those animals locked in the fish tank longing for their freedom, but that's not all it is about. This quote from the battle-scarred Angelfish do...
Gurgle
The fish have a truly dirty plan to get their escape. It's actually the kind of plan that people who don't like getting in lakes are going to dislike as well. The same comment almost made by Gurgles is the same kind of comment someone who doesn't like swimming in a lake would make. Part of the plan for the fish to escape the fish tank requires them to make the tank especially dirty and thus necessitate a cleaning. However, it comes with some unpleasant sacrifices to the fish themselves as Gur...
Dory
Dory is one of the best Pixar characters of all timethanks to her bubbly personality, and despite her own challenges, her endless optimism. While Marlin is having one of his many freakouts, Dory keeps finding new ways to smile. Even when literally being swallowed alive, she still manages to see things as not being so bad. Marlin panics as he sees the whale's mouth filling, with Dory taking the time to display her glass-half-full mentality with a literal half-full take on their situation. It's...
Dory
"Just keep swimming" is easily the most iconic quote to come out of the film, the one that most audience members, young and old, associate with the movie. The reason for its popularity is due to its potential to be applied to just about any scenario. Whether it’s about soldering through problems in life, or if it’s about a fish in the sea, it makes sense to “keep swimming.” Dory certainly found great happiness by applying this to herself, as she gained friends in Marlin and Nemo while she was...
Bill
Even before losing Nemo and setting out on his desperate journey to find him, Marlin was a particularly anxious fish (and parent). This also extended to him having social anxiety, and the audience saw him mess up upon a first impression. When the other dads at the school figured Marlin would have a good joke due to being a clownfish, Marlin didn’t capitalize on the opportunity. Instead, he came across as a bumbling weirdo, leading to the character of Bill appropriately calling him out to be s...
