About This Quiz

Right before the summer of 2003, "Finding Nemo" hit theaters. It was a perfect time because the movie largely takes place underwater or in other aquatic areas like a fish tank. It's tropical, has bright colors and some of the cutest fish you'll ever see. It even won an Oscar in 2004 for Best Animated Film. If you know anything about this film, you know the basic premise is a son fish goes missing from the dad fish and the dad fish goes on a journey to find him with the help of an interesting character. But those who consider themselves experts will know the ins and out of this movie right down to the color of the strap on the scuba goggles and the names of the Tank Gang.

Are you one of those people? If you aren't now, you definitely will be by the time you're done taking this quiz. Here's a fun fact to know! The scene where the seagulls are squawking "mine," was translated into other languages when the movie was released elsewhere. Since seagulls don't speak any language, it made sense. If you want to learn more fun facts like that, or prove how many you already know and become a "Finding Nemo" expert, take this quiz now!
