Finding Nemo (2003)

Trivia: It has recently been mentioned that Finding Nemo and Wallace and Gromitt have something in common. Well, there's another thing: if you look closely at the seagulls, they look a lot like the penguin from the Wallace and Gromitt episode, "The Wrong Trousers".

Trivia: In early stages of production, a slightly more dramatic approach was to be taken on the film, and to that end William H. Macy was hired as the voice of Marlin the clownfish. However, after a couple of weeks of recording sessions, the dramatic approach was scrapped, and William H. Macy was replaced by Albert Brooks, who plays Marlin in the film.

Trivia: In the scene where Dory tries to read the name on the diving mask, she first reads "P. Shirley" before reading correctly "P. Sherman". Peter Shirley is a famous computer graphics researcher, who wrote several books on the topic.

Trivia: There's a scene where Crush the turtle is describing how they found Marlin and Dory. Well, that scene looks very similar to one in The Little Mermaid, where Flounder is describing how he and Ariel escape from the shark attack in the ship. (00:51:25)

Trivia: One of the boats in Sydney Harbor is named "For the Birds;" a Pixar short. Also, other boats in the harbor are named after the people who helped make the film.

Trivia: The number "A113" has appeared in every Pixar film. In this film, it is the model number on the camera used by the scuba diver who takes Nemo.

Trivia: A possible nod to Nick Park/Aardman - The dentist's address is on Wallaby Way and Wallace & Grommit live on West Wallaby Street.

Trivia: When the kids are at the "drop-off," the shot looks a lot like the shot from "A Bug's Life" (1998) when Dot looks over the edge.

Trivia: Many of the crew did voice cameos in the movie. Mr Ray the schoolteacher was co-writer Bob Peterson. Joe Ranft, who did various jobs on many Disney and Pixar movies was Jacques the French cleaning shrimp, and also played Wheezy in Toy Story 2. Seems they bagged all the best parts for themselves.

Trivia: Pearl, the octopus, looks remarkably like Boo from Monsters Inc.

Trivia: Look closely at the toy treasure box in the dentist's office, if you look inside, you can see the head of 'Little Mikey', the beloved doll of Mike Wazowski from the previous Pixar film, Monsters Inc. (00:24:45)

Trivia: Surprisingly, Dory's short-term memory loss is one of the most scientifically realistic portrayals of human amnesia on film.

Trivia: This is mainly for Aussies: Rove McManus, a popular Australian television personality, is the voice of one of the crabs Dory and Nemo meet (the one Dory threatens with the seagulls). (01:25:25)

Trivia: The "Hidden Mickey" appears in the bubbles near Gil, when Nemo is stuck in the filter.
