#FINDING NEMO FISH TANK IN REAL LIFE MOVIE#
(Although this movie also makes us want to never, ever, ever come face to face with an anglerfish. You cannot watch this movie and not want to do whatever it takes to save this crazy-beautiful natural wonder. This movie will make you want to save the dang Great Barrier Reef. Willem Dafoe proves he's creepy even as a voice-actor playing a fish.There's a shark-led, twelve step meeting.As for Nemo, he learns to love and appreciate his dad's guidance…once Marlin tones down the you'll-shoot-your-eye-out paranoia.īut, hey: just in case a feel-good movie about parents and kiddos learning mutual love and respect sounds nauseating to you (we promise it's not-Pixar does touching, not cheeseball), here are a few other reasons you should get your Nemo on: (Just think about the dads in 10 Things I Hate About You or Footloose.) Like overprotective cinematic papas before him, Marlin has to learn to chill. Of course, Marlin isn't the only über controlling movie parent. (And, more importantly, they can grow up to be horribly annoying adults.) Kids that never learn to fail can grow up and become adults who are afraid to try new things or to take any chances at all. After all, rebelling against authority figures is how kids learn to think for themselves.Īnd, obviously, parents should set limits (no one likes a corgi coated in vanilla frosting, except maybe the corgi himself), but they need to find a healthy balance between keeping their kids safe and letting them make their own mistakes. What would actually be creepy is children never disobeyed your parents. But kids like Nemo want to rush out into the world and experience all that dangerous stuff for themselves.Īccording to doctors, kids start testing limits when they're as young as one or two years old. Dads-like Marlin-want to keep their young ones safe and secure as long as possible. The struggle between parents and their kids is real.Īnd Finding Nemo understands this age-old conflict…and understanding that it crosses species and genus boundaries. That may be the single grossest act in the history of gross acts. Don't fingerpaint the new sofa.Īnd don't even get us started on the unholy humiliation that is having a parent lick their finger to get a smudge off of your face. Don't smear vanilla frosting all over the corgi. Look both ways before crossing the street. No one likes their nagging-not even parents themselves. What is Finding Nemo About and Why Should I Care? Oh, it also won an Oscar, too.īasically, the Pixar team behind Nemo deserves high fives-or is that high fins?-all around. We guess lots of parents (and their kids) could relate because Finding Nemo went on to become one of Pixar's highest grossing and most critically acclaimed movies. Andrew Stanton got the idea for this father-son fish tale when he realized how overprotective he was of his own son. Of course, it helps that the concept for Finding Nemo came from one of Pixar's senior animators. The movie has something to teach us humans about big important ideas like fathers and sons, friendship, fear, trust, courage, memories, and love. When Nemo is taken by a diver and whisked off to live in a fish tank on land, all Marlin's worst fears come true.Īnd while Nemo's ocean adventure features a whole bunch of fun fishy jokes-clownfish really do live together in sea anemones and some fish have surprisingly short memory spans-it's really not about fish at all.
Marlin loves his son, but sometimes he's a little bit protective of the kid. This beloved 2003 film tells the story of Marlin and Nemo-a pair of father and son clownfish. (Ariel, we love you, but the whole giving-up-your-voice-for-a-guy thing is just creepy.) And who could forget Ponyo? But, this story about a little father and son fish in a big ocean is probably one of the greatest animated movies of all time. Okay, obviously Finding Nemo isn't the only animated film to be made about the lives of undersea creatures. Ready to head under the sea? Darling, it's better down where it's wetter.
