Are You a Finding Nemo Expert?

When Nemo first meets Bruce, it's a terrifying moment for the clownfish and viewers alike. However, he learns a few things and has a change of heart about eating the fish when he realizes they can be friends and not just prey.

Shark bait hoo ha ha! There's no real explanation as to why Nemo was given this nickname. Speculation has said it's because he was the smallest fish in the tank, but it's also just a nickname so not too much thought should be put on it.

Clever naming on Disney's part! These movies are made for kids, and Ray is an actual normal name, so props to them for making Nemo's stingray teacher's name Mr. Ray. He really was great with those kids.

Dory deciphers this address from a pair of goggles and tries to commit it to memory by repeating it over and over again. She is known for not having a good memory, and this address is so important so it's crucial she remember it.

Clownfish are known for their bright orange color, white curvy stripes and short fins. If you've seen "Finding Nemo," it's almost impossible to look at a clownfish and not quote the movie or call it Nemo.

The one thing to know about Dory is that she basically has no short-term memory. She constantly forgets who Nemo is, what she and Marlin are doing and where they're going. She tries her best to remember important things, like the address on the scuba goggles.

The fish had told Dory to go through the trench and not over it, but she couldn't remember why when she and Marlin actually got there. They decide to go over it thinking it would be faster, but ultimately Dory gets stung by one too many jellyfish and passes out.

Right before Marlin is about to exit the current, he yells back at Crush to ask him how old he is. He remembers having a conversation with Nemo about the age of sea turtles, and now he'll have something to tell him when they reunite.

Peach can often be found stuck to the side of the fish tank, as a starfish would. She's bright pink, though, and not peach-colored. Sometimes she tries to speak when she is against the glass and, naturally, no one can understand her.

Through some moans and groans, it seemed like Dory could actually communicate with the humpback whale. In reality, she was probably just matching the frequency in which they hear things.

Squirt is one of the cutest characters in the movie. He sounds like a surfer dude, loves his dad and wants to be able to help Marlin and Dory find Nemo. He definitely thinks he's a little older than he is, though.

Maybe one of the most quotable lines in the movie is when Dory tells Marlin to just keep swimming. She meant it literally, because fish swim to move forward, but it has come to be used as motivation to just keep going when things seem tough.

Blocking the filter would cause algae to build up on the tank and force the dentist to take the fish out so the tank could be cleaned. After a few failed attempts, Nemo manages to do it, but it doesn't end the way they all wanted it to.

Nigel is also the pelican with the crab in his mouth that all the seagulls go nuts over. He scoops Dory and Marlin up, saving them from the seagulls trying to eat them, and delivers them safely where they need to go.

It's clearly very funny that a seahorse would have an H2O intolerance given that he lives in the ocean! He must be doing OK, though, as he's able to go on adventures with the rest of his classmates.

In the middle of the ending credits, Mike Wazowski comes floating into the screen and he can be seen wearing a snorkel mask. This is just another example of the Easter eggs Disney and Pixar like to put in their movies.

The Great Barrier Reef is probably the most famous coral reef in the world. People snorkel, scuba dive and search for fish there. It is starting to suffer from bleaching, but hopefully it will return to all its glory soon.

One of Nemo's friends and classmates goes out to "touch the butt" because that's what they all thought a boat was called. Someone heard it from their neighbor, but it was definitely misheard.

Darla is known for killing fish and Nemo doesn't want that to be his fate. Once he is put in the plastic bag of water to be sent home with Darla, he has the idea to play dead. It works and he ends up getting flushed down the drain, making his ultimate escape.

Marlin and Coral decided to name half the eggs after Marlin and the other half after Coral, but then Coral said she liked the name Nemo. Marlin promised that one of the eggs could bear that name.

P. Sherman of 42 Wallaby Way was the scuba diver who took Nemo. After a fight with his dad, Nemo swims out into the open ocean as an act of rebellion. Like most acts of rebellion, Nemo ends up regretting it pretty quick.

Dory and Marlin come across a school of fish and try to ask them for directions. However, the fish just start organizing themselves into other shapes. Eventually, they do form an arrow providing direction to the pair.

In any other movie, the two characters going through a journey to find someone would fall in love. But that wouldn't fit the characters of Dory and Marlin. Especially because Dory can barely remember who Marlin is.

Marlin is so nervous of losing Nemo that he freaks out whenever Nemo goes anywhere. When Nemo wants to go to the drop off with the rest of his classmates, Marlin panics and doesn't want Nemo to go.

Nigel plays so many important roles in this movie! He's also the one who scooped up Dory and Marlin as they were about to be attacked by the seagulls and delivered them to the dentist's office where Nemo was.

The light was most welcomed by Dory and Marlin, but once they saw the chompers behind the built-in lantern, they swam away as fast as they could. Angler fish are known for being a pretty terrifying looking fish.

Before the onslaught of the other jellyfish, Dory encounters one tiny one that she refers to as her squishy. It shall be hers and it shall be her squishy. But the sentiment ended pretty quickly when she realized she was in a sea of stinging jellyfish.

Ellen has such an identifiable voice and it was perfect for the character of Dory. Ellen has said that kids recognize her by voice more than anything else now, and ask her to say things that Dory says in the movie.

Disney and Pixar are known for their crossovers. They love sneaking characters from certain movies into other movies. In "Finding Nemo," Buzz Lightyear can be seen on the floor of an exam room at P. Sherman's dentist office.

Jacques is the one who goes to get Nemo for his initiation ceremony into the Tank Gang. He controls the ring of fire in the tank, as well as decontaminates new fish who come into the tank.

Darla was a true rugrat of a kid. She was loud, unruly and didn't follow directions well. Her uncle, the dentist, pretty much let her do whatever she wanted, including not taking care of fish he would gift her.

The Pixar film hit theaters on May 30, 2003. It was sure to be a summer hit with its aquatic themes and tropical fish. However, it was heading into winter in Sydney, where a lot of the movie takes place.

Viewers find out Crush's dad's name is Mr. Turtle because Marlin refers to Crush as Mr. Turtle, to which Crush replies that that's his father. We never meet Mr. Turtle and don't hear about him again in the movie.

Bubbles, a yellow tang fish, is one of the friendliest fish in the tank. He's called Bubbles because of his obsession with the bubbles that come out of the treasure chest at the bottom of the fish tank.

The East Australian Current is a real thing and while it runs east, it's actually the southward western boundary current. Depending on the weather, the current could behave in different ways, much like other bodies of water.

Seagulls are notorious for being after food, and any type of food. They're also very territorial when they find it. The gulls in "Finding Nemo" are no different, as they all start shouting and claiming ownership of the crab that Nigel is carrying.

Gill is considered the leader of the Tank Gang, but the only thing he wants in his life is to escape the tank. His scars came from a previous attempt to escape, but it went wrong and he landed on some dental tools.

That's a lot of eggs! No wonder they weren't going to give them all separate names. After the barracuda tragedy, however, only one egg remained and was of course named Nemo.

The right side of his egg was damaged in the barracuda attack so his right fin didn't grow to be full size and functional like his left fin. To make him feel better about it, Marlin just told him that it was his lucky fin and it made him special.
