Hey everyone sorry for the delay, tried all night to try and get a better watermark, but this is the best I could do given how much footage I used. And also if the video is too long please feel free to watch it in multiple sittings, know it is a long video haha. But hope you enjoyed the reaction and see you next for a surprise movie and Star Wars Episode 5!!
Hey nick love your reaction video❤ to the classic animated movie that is finding nemo🐟🐠🐟 can't wait for the reaction video's to the surprise movie and star wars episode 5😁👍
This right here is Pixar's defining chapter. Not only this easily became the highest-grossing animated film at the time, but it was critically acclaimed for what many praised as some of the most photorealistic animation. This was especially true with the water animation, which looked outstanding back in 2003 and still looks pretty amazing even by today's standards. You know what's even more amazing? That water animation is actually a result of Pixar making the animation "less realistic" because their initial water animation looked "too real" to tell that it was an animation. Perhaps Pixar made a right decision at the time since people might've not been ready to accept live-action-level animation back then. As time went by, however, people became more accepting to that level of animation, which is why Pixar stopped holding back about 5 years later.
I can see some of the water textures are different, I think it's a deeper blue and there is some additional lighting with the rays but I havent even began the video and only going by memory.
Dory is one of the few comedy side characters that actually works because she actually has character growth (and causes growth in marlin) throughout and isn't just the static annoyances that many of these characters wind up being Im glad you watched it and enjoyed it, hopefully it'll remind you of all the good times with your friend.
Two of my favourite facts for this movie, one is that the turtles act like stoned surfer dudes because in real life, eating jellyfish has the same effect on turtles as marijuana in humans, hence the luck of Marlin and Dory being found by them near a pod of jellyfish. Second isn’t really a fact per se, but I just love the way they pushed against the shark stereotype and instead had them be bros in an AA meeting
Marlin definitely had PTSD after losing his wife and children, that's why he acts like that but I love his emotional growth, overcoming his traumas. Also this is a beautiful story that portrays very well various disabilities (the little fin because of the "accident" at birth and Dory's memory loss) or self-help (sharks at AA), and that's just wonderful and beautiful job from pixar!!
@@springheartedtiger a big fan theory is that marlin ate his wife and the kids leaving one because male clownfish mate with their children by turning themselves female
@Siddharth Anand That makes no sense consindering the barracuda knocked him out. Also, Andrew Stanton deliberately disregarded the sex change as it would be too weird for a kids' movie. If we have to follow realism, then Coral would have been bigger than Marlin.
Also serious cred to the artists for heckin’ slapping dead fish onto the copier to observe how the light penetrated through them for realistic and awesome visuals. 😂 True story.
My childhood best friend passed away very close to a year ago. I still have a lot of songs and games and movies that hit me very hard emotionally when I experience them now. Hearing you talk about your friend should never be something anyone should be upset over. I say thank you for opening up. Love your reactions and I hope you live a happy life.
In the original movie, they had Marlin’s flashbacks throughout the film about his and Coral’s life together, and only near the ending do we get the story of her dying and Nemo being the last kid. Throughout the film, test audiences had negative reaction towards Marlin because the audience did not receive the sense of empathy until they learned of Coral’s death, but at that point it was too late and audience’s found him negative. So, Pixar scrapped the flashback sequences and made the death scene literally the first scene. After this, audiences found Marlin to be a loving father who tries to do the best he can do.
The scene itself was SO well done though, while I understand fully why they had to cut it. So glad they put it on Disney+, I def recommend people to see it!
Thanks for not cutting out the intro Nick, know you were debating whether or not to keep it exclusively on patreon or not, but your friend would have loved your reaction to this!
Fun fact about the water animation: When they were animating it, they showed it to the boss, and they were promptly told to do it all over. The reason? It was TOO realistic. They said if the waters too realistic, the audience would mistake it for a documentary, and fall asleep.
Alongside Toy Story 1 & 2, I think Finding Nemo is Pixar's crowning achievement, and really cemented the studio as masters of their craft. I remember this movie being the most talked-about sensation when it came out, it almost felt like a cultural shift honestly. Animation, screenwriting, score, voice acting, every single thing came together perfectly. What a classic

The beginning scene is absolutely heartbreaking but nothing creeped me out as much as the Anglerfish scene when i was a kid😂it still creeps me out. And thank u for ur reactions❤️
That beginning scene is actually really interesting, because in production, they were planning on not having that scene at the beginning but further into the film. Though from the draft they found the audience couldn't really connect or understand why Marlin was so tough on Nemo; so they moved it to the beginning.
Nick, I hit like on this video FOR the fact you opened up about something important to you. And I assure you that a barely 3 minutes intro is not "ranting". Much love.
What a nostalgic movie. My elementary school would always play this movie and I didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now compared to when I was little. Thank you for your reactions 💕
This movie is not only my favorite Pixar movie , but it has a special place in my heart. I have autism and Dory so is inspiring about having something that makes you different . She my favorite and her quote Just keep swimming is one of my mottos.
Fun facts: Albert Brooks, the voice of Marlin, is also in the Universal animated movie “The Secret Life of Pets”, Willem DeFoe, we all know he’s Green Goblin from Tobey’s Spider-Man Trilogy, and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Geoffrey Rush, the voice of Nigel, is also in The Pirates Of the Caribbean movies, he was the Character Hector Barbosa.
I always love when parental love is focused in a movie. We have few storylines like that due to romance usually being the main subject in many media. I read somewhere that the intro was so intense, parents skipped it to prevent their children from being traumatized. I wonder if it's true.
My brother in law really loves this movie a lot so was determined to show his kids my niece and nephew. My nephew wasn’t really interested because he only wants to watch animated musicals and has not enough attention span to focus on a story as long as Nemo without music but my niece who is one really loves animals especially cats and all fish she would go crazy whenever she would see aquariums or pictures of fish so when we first watched the movie he adorably at the beginning covered her eyes so she wouldn’t see what happened with the mom at the beginning with her trying to rip it off the whole time otherwise she really loved it even if she was too young to go along with the storyline but would constantly point at the fish saying “Ooh” cutely which she did whenever she saw a cat or something she thought was pretty it was adorable.
I really like Finding Nemo, one of my faves! I fondly remember watching this Pixar film with my parents upon its theatrical release. I like marine life, so naturally I was really invested in the characters, as well as the plot. This film is beautiful, emotional, and entertaining imo. Thanks so much for checking out this film, Nick!
You know what’s funny? This movie was one of the many things that made me fall in love with the ocean when I was a kid. It really kinda initiated that path for me and started this chain reaction of ocean love. Now, fast-forward 10 years or so and I’m in college studying Applied Coastal Environmental Science in the wonderful state of Louisiana. But when I was a young boy this movie meant a lot to me. It also wasn’t until I was 16 or so that I really started to understand the deeper themes of the movie really well, relating to fatherly love and such. To this day, Thomas Newman is one of my favorite composers and I regularly listen to the soundtrack. Thanks for the reaction, Nick. Keep up the good work.
i love marine biology, nemo was apparently very very accurate in a lot of its concepts! Ofc, still a kids movie, sharks dont eat everything they see and definitely not the smaller fish xD. Regarding humans they tend to bite them because they want to figure out what you are and if youre edible (especially if youre panicking), so they arent evil but should respect them. I saw divers dive with bullsharks and hilariously theyll come up behind the diver but if the diver turns around to look at it itll immediately run away.
Biggest inaccuracy I think is the whale. Whales don’t spew water from their blowhole. The blowhole is connected to the lungs. The spray when they come up for air is them blowing the water off their blowhole so they can breathe without inhaling a bunch of sea water.
10:11 That was a flatworm. Also, this movie is one of Pixars' best and most emotional. I love watching people who have never seen, or hardly remember it react to it. It's like watching it for the first time all over again. 😊
Yay I love this film 🤧🤧🤧❤️🔥 I think his “lucky” fin is smaller bc of that injury to his egg when the barracuda attacked the family at the beginning. It was cracked on that side so his fin was affected from it.
This is the best reaction video you have done! There was a fair enough reason behind this, you related a lot to it and every single important scene you had a very genuine reaction about it! This is by far the best reaction you have ever done
Please Nick, do not apologize for talking about your friend. Thank you for sharing this :) That is the great thing about you. You are just open and honest. And remembering the ones that not physically there with us anymore is what makes them stay in our heart :) I would say you did watch that movie finally together with him in some way.
Glen McQueen was an animator who worked on every PIXAR project until his passing (can't recall what he died from; some form of illness). FINDING NEMO was not only dedicated to him, but the lead character of CARS, Lightning McQueen, was named after him.
When this film was released it was my absolute favorite Pixar film to date. Still love it. The scene where Dory begs Marlin not to leave is seriously underrated. Truly heartwrenching.
Sorry for the delay, but here are Finding Nemo Facts I have to share: 1. The reason for the “lucky fin” is because of the crack in the egg it altered how Nemo formed, 2. With Pixar films they usually have a teaser somewhere of what their next film will be for example in this one you see one of the kids is reading an Incredibles Comic, In the Incredibles during the battle you can see a car that looks like the Hudson Hornet, etc 3. The voice of Gil is Willem Dafoe who people know better as Green Goblin in the Spiderman films, 4. The voice of Crush is the film’s director Andrew Stanton, 5. The voice of Mr. Ray is another Pixar employee Bob Peterson, 6. After the release of the film a lot of people who meant well, but were not informed flushed their fish down the toilet, but what they don’t know is all of those fish went through the sewage treatment system and let’s just say bit the bullet, 7. One thing I learned because of my science teacher in high school is clown fish when there isn’t a female around change gender. So in actuality Nemo should have been a girl based on science,
8. So many kids begged their parents for “Nemo’s” after the release of the film. It was pretty bad since they usually didn’t know how to care for them and killed them as well.
I just lost my dad in December so I know how it feels to have those connections. And, as I always say in my comments, I subbed for your authenticity and openness to share your personal stories and how they connect to the movies you react to. I wouldn’t give you flack for not seeing a movie growing up. Sometimes I feel like you’re too hard on yourself but this is what I come here for. I watch reaction videos because it makes me feel like I’m watching a movie with someone else, and it shows me things I don’t pick up on my own. Just keep being you, Nick. 🙂
This movie is so special to me. It was the first Disney movie I watched when I was a baby. My mom used to say that I absolutely loved this movie as a baby and I still do. Because of this movie, I want to help the planet as a future career.
You’re a very expressive reaction guy, Mr. Nick, I’ve never seen a reactor show such fear, joy, and sadness while reacting, also Dory is my absolute favorite and she made this movie become one of my favorite Pixar movies
That was great. I enjoy being able to see the footage even if I cannot hear it. Most of the Reactions I watch are of Movies I have already seen. Enjoy your channel.
The music in this movie was on another level too, lol plus the animation, the emotion, the plot, such a compelling movie. Some great comedy in their too, great voice acting. My favourite childhood movie of all time, right up there with spirit stallion of the cimarron, and the lord of the rings trilogy
Watching this gives me SOOOO much nostalgia for this *AMAZING* Finding Nemo video game that came out about a year after the movie came out. My husband and I LOVED this video game.
Growing up, I mainly knew Willem Dafoe as the prima donna director in _Mr. Bean's Holiday_ - which, strangely enough, also involves a boy being separated from his dad due to some eccentric geezer. And both films also have the song "La Mer/Beyond the Sea", _Mr. Bean's Holiday_ using the original French version by Roland Gerbeau, while _Finding Nemo_ has the English cover by Robbie Williams (NOT Robin!).
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster I like to jokingly theorize that Carson is actually Norman, faking his death from being impaled by his glider like in the comics. And he decides to move to Europe and become a film director. You can even see signs of the Green Goblin showing through. We were close to seeing Green Goblin vs Mr. Bean.
You jumping at Bruce was the best. 😂 In all seriousness, though, I don't blame you for being creeped out by him since I always have been. Also, fun fact, but he's named Bruce because that's what the shark was called in Jaws. And the reason why Nemo sounds familiar is because he's voiced by Alexander Gould, a.k.a. Bambi in Bambi II. 😊
This film is definitely one of my favourites from Pixar! I always find it emotional to watch and I can relate to Dory in so many ways because of having ADHD!
I watched this movie over and over, nonstop, when it came out and I was 9 or 10 years old. Looking at your reaction... My God, it holds up, no nostalgia filter, I'm remembering how tight the dialogue is and how natural the actors sound, the way the animators use the fact that the characters are fish underwater to just bounce them all over the screen in a dazzling way, and of course the ocean scenery - they studied like mad to make sure they could simulate water properly, and it holds the heck up. And the story! A startlingly emotional story about parenthood and past trauma, told through tiny fish. One of the best films of all time, and I don't just mean in animation.
It's been 19 years and the "mine" seagulls still kill me! I cannot even look at an actual seagull or a seagull statue without thinking of these guys and losing my mind🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My mom knows they crack me up, so she will immediately think the same thing. My dad and I do what Crush and Squirt do, where if I tell him something cool, he will go "sweeeet" and I'll reply "totally!"
Hello Nick, I was originally shown Finding Nemo as a four-year-old with my mom and grandparents in their house (as soon as it had been released on VHS), as well as with a few other visiting relatives. I remember being terrified by a few parts (particularly the barracuda who appears towards the end of the first scene and eats all of Marlin's family except for Nemo, and sets the often rather treacherous and sad tone for the rest of the movie), yet enchanted by the story and imagery as well. Since then, I have come to understand and appreciate the emotional journey, the characters, the clever humor and the animated details of the setting even more. My parents have also been equally fond of and impressed by it. I have always enjoyed and remembered Thomas Newman's musical score through the years (he composed the soundtrack for WALL-E too). Seeing this with my family is one of my clearest memories from nineteen years ago, and I quite enjoyed hearing your reaction to and feelings on it. I am very sorry about your friend
I clicked forgetting this was a "father saving his child" movie, I have not stopped crying from the moment I remembered which movie I was watching. My Dad was always there for me, always standing beside me, always the brick wall holding me up. This hit really deep. My Dad passed away 2 months ago. And Mom passed away 2 days ago. I am really missing them.
Nemo was a big game changer, but just wait until you see Finding Dory! That movie has so many emotional and psychological levels about Dory's character, it's just so impeccable. Dory's story arc in Finding Dory is done so ambitiously and with such passion, it's not only one of my favourite Pixar films, but one of my favourite films, period.
My favorite reaction channel and my favorite childhood movie? Nick you are spoiling us 😭 Your reactions to these movies are just the sweetest. After this video I'm off to rewatch your Treasure Planet reaction for the billionth time
I really LOVE Pixar's Finding Nemo (2003)! It's very the best animated feature film ever!! And it's one of my favorite unforgettable Pixar franchises along with Toy Story, Cars, Monsters Inc, and The Incredibles! And Pixar's Finding Nemo is my most favorite animated movie from 2003 when I was 8 to 9 years old in 2003!
I deeply love this movie - it's my favourite animated film of all time! My coworker and I used to quote this to each other on shift. She even wrote the entire song from Mr. Ray on my cup once! Even though I've seen it more times than I can count, I still jump when Bruce arrives, so don't feel bad about that :)
I forgot just HOW GOOD this movie was. I saw it so much as a kid that I kind of just take it for granted. But seeing you see it through new eyes was eye opening for me. This is a really well done movie on all sides.
I loved watching this commentary, and that's because we got to watch something cool in my opinion. You always talk about how much you love water and how cool/beautiful/amazing it looks. And you become impressed on how animation can make it look so real. But at the same time you genuinely have a fear of what can be in the ocean, and that doesn't make you like the water any less. Lol just thought it was cool
Wow, I just finished watching this movie with my niece, it was her first time watching it, thanks for reminding me how great this movie is. I have a 2-disc version of it, and it's amazing how they actually studied the ocean for a very long time in the development of this movie; I also loved hearing her scream When she noticed Buzz Lightyear in the Movie
I have a fun (kinda scary) story connected to this movie. Back when I was a kid, my parents would take me and my older sister down to Cozumel (a little island off the coast of Mexico, for those who don't know) during our summer vacations. One year, we were snorkeling a ways off the coast, and I mean the conditions were perfect. Bright sunny day, crystal clear waters far as the eye can see. I had recently watched Finding Nemo, and it was really fun watching the wildlife pass beneath us. After a while, I looked up and noticed this fish swimming at me. I thought it was pretty cool until it turned to the side, and I noticed it had teeth. Turned out, it was a barricuda. Took me a long time to get back in the water after that.
How awesome and special that you have this link to your friend. 💖 It’s my favorite Pixar movie too! This was the first Pixar movie to come around after I decided I wanted to go into animation and I ADORE marine biology (especially sharks, go fig lol…) so…yeah this is the best of both worlds for me. ☺️ So yeah, there are loads of jokes based off of actual fish biology. There are indeed certain fish that hatch and carry their young in their mouth for example. And clownfish brushing against their anenomes are synonymous to brushing *teeth*, LOL. I will forever love Pixar for doing their research and giving us something to laugh at like that. 😆
My best friend got me Finding Nemo for my birthday (or Christmas- can't remember which) back in 03 and i legit watched it like 10 times that day lol. Still one of my faves!
That was my dad’s favorite Pixar movie ever since, he was a single father from divorce last 21 years ago. Anyway, I liked this movie when, I was 6 years old.
This movie really is a masterpiece. I love every single thing about it. Crush is definitely my favorite character. And yeah, I didn't realize Gil was voiced by Willam Defoe either for the longest time. But it's true!

My favorite quote from this movie is “Tell us a joke, Clownfish!”.
Seriously. I say it every time I see a real Clownfish.
Marlin: What do you get when you cross a mourning father with an ocean that abandons him and treats him like trash?

My nephew wasn’t really interested because he only wants to watch animated musicals and has not enough attention span to focus on a story as long as Nemo without music but my niece who is one really loves animals especially cats and all fish she would go crazy whenever she would see aquariums or pictures of fish so when we first watched the movie he adorably at the beginning covered her eyes so she wouldn’t see what happened with the mom at the beginning with her trying to rip it off the whole time otherwise she really loved it even if she was too young to go along with the storyline but would constantly point at the fish saying “Ooh” cutely which she did whenever she saw a cat or something she thought was pretty it was adorable.
That’s a great story) Little Nemo always seemed so sweet to me, and the death of all his siblings except for dad seemed mad was indeed so tragic(
Very beginning, yes.
Yes, indeed 😄 The voice of Gill is Willem Dafoe!!!! The animators even modeled Gill’s mouth to look like Dafoe’s!
Green Goblin!
You know, Gill’s something of an ocean-dweller himself
@@carrbender Yeah!
Lol, silly!
@@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110 And Carson Clay!
I really like Finding Nemo, one of my faves! I fondly remember watching this Pixar film with my parents upon its theatrical release. I like marine life, so naturally I was really invested in the characters, as well as the plot. This film is beautiful, emotional, and entertaining imo. Thanks so much for checking out this film, Nick!
You know what’s funny? This movie was one of the many things that made me fall in love with the ocean when I was a kid. It really kinda initiated that path for me and started this chain reaction of ocean love. Now, fast-forward 10 years or so and I’m in college studying Applied Coastal Environmental Science in the wonderful state of Louisiana. But when I was a young boy this movie meant a lot to me.
It also wasn’t until I was 16 or so that I really started to understand the deeper themes of the movie really well, relating to fatherly love and such.
To this day, Thomas Newman is one of my favorite composers and I regularly listen to the soundtrack.
Thanks for the reaction, Nick. Keep up the good work.
My interest in the ocean came from this and SpongeBob.
i love marine biology, nemo was apparently very very accurate in a lot of its concepts! Ofc, still a kids movie, sharks dont eat everything they see and definitely not the smaller fish xD. Regarding humans they tend to bite them because they want to figure out what you are and if youre edible (especially if youre panicking), so they arent evil but should respect them. I saw divers dive with bullsharks and hilariously theyll come up behind the diver but if the diver turns around to look at it itll immediately run away.
Biggest inaccuracy I think is the whale. Whales don’t spew water from their blowhole. The blowhole is connected to the lungs. The spray when they come up for air is them blowing the water off their blowhole so they can breathe without inhaling a bunch of sea water.
Diving with bullsharks? No thank you, ill dive with any other shark, but not bull sharks lol. Theyre the most aggressive sharks out there.
Yay one of my favorite pixar movies. Finding Nemo is one of those movies you can watch a million times and not get bored with it. I love it.
No that wasn’t normal for Nemo to have a smaller fin, that’s what happened to his fin because of how the egg was hit from the rock in the beginning
Marlin and Crush are two of the best Disney/Pixar Dads in Disney/Pixar history.
10:11 That was a flatworm. Also, this movie is one of Pixars' best and most emotional. I love watching people who have never seen, or hardly remember it react to it. It's like watching it for the first time all over again. 😊
This one never gets old. I'm so sorry about your friend. I'm glad we could all watch it with you in his memory. 💕
This is exactly what I needed after a hard week. Thank you
Fun fact: Bruce the shark is named after the shark animatronic from Jaws
Nick: I'm terrified of sharks.
Me: *grinning because I know EXACTLY what Bruce is like*
Yay I love this film 🤧🤧🤧❤️🔥 I think his “lucky” fin is smaller bc of that injury to his egg when the barracuda attacked the family at the beginning. It was cracked on that side so his fin was affected from it.
This is the best reaction video you have done! There was a fair enough reason behind this, you related a lot to it and every single important scene you had a very genuine reaction about it! This is by far the best reaction you have ever done
Aw thanks so much, really appreciate that!
So excited for Monsters Inc as well!! Especially since you have seen Monsters University I feel like it will be a really unique reaction.
Please Nick, do not apologize for talking about your friend. Thank you for sharing this :) That is the great thing about you. You are just open and honest. And remembering the ones that not physically there with us anymore is what makes them stay in our heart :) I would say you did watch that movie finally together with him in some way.
Glen McQueen was an animator who worked on every PIXAR project until his passing (can't recall what he died from; some form of illness). FINDING NEMO was not only dedicated to him, but the lead character of CARS, Lightning McQueen, was named after him.
When this film was released it was my absolute favorite Pixar film to date. Still love it.
The scene where Dory begs Marlin not to leave is seriously underrated. Truly heartwrenching.
Sea turtles can actually live that long too, some think even way longer than that. Crush wasn't lying when he said "and STILL young!"
Sorry for the delay, but here are Finding Nemo Facts I have to share:
1. The reason for the “lucky fin” is because of the crack in the egg it altered how Nemo formed,
2. With Pixar films they usually have a teaser somewhere of what their next film will be for example in this one you see one of the kids is reading an Incredibles Comic, In the Incredibles during the battle you can see a car that looks like the Hudson Hornet, etc
3. The voice of Gil is Willem Dafoe who people know better as Green Goblin in the Spiderman films,
4. The voice of Crush is the film’s director Andrew Stanton,
5. The voice of Mr. Ray is another Pixar employee Bob Peterson,
6. After the release of the film a lot of people who meant well, but were not informed flushed their fish down the toilet, but what they don’t know is all of those fish went through the sewage treatment system and let’s just say bit the bullet,
7. One thing I learned because of my science teacher in high school is clown fish when there isn’t a female around change gender. So in actuality Nemo should have been a girl based on science,
8. So many kids begged their parents for “Nemo’s” after the release of the film. It was pretty bad since they usually didn’t know how to care for them and killed them as well.
Actually based on 7, MARLIN is the female. Not Nemo.
Whales also don’t have uvulas in real life
So sorry for your loss. I guess this movie will forever be beautiful in your heart :)
I just lost my dad in December so I know how it feels to have those connections.
And, as I always say in my comments, I subbed for your authenticity and openness to share your personal stories and how they connect to the movies you react to. I wouldn’t give you flack for not seeing a movie growing up. Sometimes I feel like you’re too hard on yourself but this is what I come here for. I watch reaction videos because it makes me feel like I’m watching a movie with someone else, and it shows me things I don’t pick up on my own.
Just keep being you, Nick. 🙂
I'm so sorry about your father. Rest in peace. 😢💔🙏🌈
@@monsterhanna6691 thanks 🙂
This movie is so special to me. It was the first Disney movie I watched when I was a baby. My mom used to say that I absolutely loved this movie as a baby and I still do. Because of this movie, I want to help the planet as a future career.
You’re a very expressive reaction guy, Mr. Nick, I’ve never seen a reactor show such fear, joy, and sadness while reacting, also Dory is my absolute favorite and she made this movie become one of my favorite Pixar movies
That was great. I enjoy being able to see the footage even if I cannot hear it. Most of the Reactions I watch are of Movies I have already seen. Enjoy your channel.
The music in this movie was on another level too, lol plus the animation, the emotion, the plot, such a compelling movie. Some great comedy in their too, great voice acting. My favourite childhood movie of all time, right up there with spirit stallion of the cimarron, and the lord of the rings trilogy
The talk at the start touched my heart
This movie made me fall in love with the sea.
I love this movie. Cried so much. It already starts so sad and keeps hitting you right were it hurts but at the same time it is beautiful
Watching this gives me SOOOO much nostalgia for this *AMAZING* Finding Nemo video game that came out about a year after the movie came out. My husband and I LOVED this video game.
Fun fact : Gill is voiced by none other than the Green Goblin himself, Willem Dafoe.
It took me years to figure that out
Growing up, I mainly knew Willem Dafoe as the prima donna director in _Mr. Bean's Holiday_ - which, strangely enough, also involves a boy being separated from his dad due to some eccentric geezer. And both films also have the song "La Mer/Beyond the Sea", _Mr. Bean's Holiday_ using the original French version by Roland Gerbeau, while _Finding Nemo_ has the English cover by Robbie Williams (NOT Robin!).
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster I like to jokingly theorize that Carson is actually Norman, faking his death from being impaled by his glider like in the comics. And he decides to move to Europe and become a film director. You can even see signs of the Green Goblin showing through. We were close to seeing Green Goblin vs Mr. Bean.
You jumping at Bruce was the best. 😂 In all seriousness, though, I don't blame you for being creeped out by him since I always have been.
Also, fun fact, but he's named Bruce because that's what the shark was called in Jaws. And the reason why Nemo sounds familiar is because he's voiced by Alexander Gould, a.k.a. Bambi in Bambi II. 😊
One of the best animated movies of all time and soundtrack. The visuals with the music is unreal
I love how Crush is voiced by the director of the movie and his son is voiced by his actual son. It’s such a nice touch.
This film is definitely one of my favourites from Pixar! I always find it emotional to watch and I can relate to Dory in so many ways because of having ADHD!
I watched this movie over and over, nonstop, when it came out and I was 9 or 10 years old. Looking at your reaction... My God, it holds up, no nostalgia filter, I'm remembering how tight the dialogue is and how natural the actors sound, the way the animators use the fact that the characters are fish underwater to just bounce them all over the screen in a dazzling way, and of course the ocean scenery - they studied like mad to make sure they could simulate water properly, and it holds the heck up. And the story! A startlingly emotional story about parenthood and past trauma, told through tiny fish. One of the best films of all time, and I don't just mean in animation.
finding nemo is such a classic!!!! i enjoy every your reaction!!! :D
It's been 19 years and the "mine" seagulls still kill me! I cannot even look at an actual seagull or a seagull statue without thinking of these guys and losing my mind🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My mom knows they crack me up, so she will immediately think the same thing.
My dad and I do what Crush and Squirt do, where if I tell him something cool, he will go "sweeeet" and I'll reply "totally!"
Hello Nick,
I was originally shown Finding Nemo as a four-year-old with my mom and grandparents in their house (as soon as it had been released on VHS), as well as with a few other visiting relatives. I remember being terrified by a few parts (particularly the barracuda who appears towards the end of the first scene and eats all of Marlin's family except for Nemo, and sets the often rather treacherous and sad tone for the rest of the movie), yet enchanted by the story and imagery as well. Since then, I have come to understand and appreciate the emotional journey, the characters, the clever humor and the animated details of the setting even more.
My parents have also been equally fond of and impressed by it. I have always enjoyed and remembered Thomas Newman's musical score through the years (he composed the soundtrack for WALL-E too). Seeing this with my family is one of my clearest memories from nineteen years ago, and I quite enjoyed hearing your reaction to and feelings on it. I am very sorry about your friend
Another childhood favourite, any movie invoicing a father/child relationship has a special little spot in my heart. They're just not done enough 💚
I clicked forgetting this was a "father saving his child" movie, I have not stopped crying from the moment I remembered which movie I was watching.
My Dad was always there for me, always standing beside me, always the brick wall holding me up.
This hit really deep. My Dad passed away 2 months ago. And Mom passed away 2 days ago.
I am really missing them.
i'm so sorry for your loss :( I hope you're doing okay
Nemo was a big game changer, but just wait until you see Finding Dory!
That movie has so many emotional and psychological levels about Dory's character, it's just so impeccable.
Dory's story arc in Finding Dory is done so ambitiously and with such passion, it's not only one of my favourite Pixar films, but one of my favourite films, period.
He already saw it, he just doesn't remember anything about it. 😂
My favorite reaction channel and my favorite childhood movie? Nick you are spoiling us 😭 Your reactions to these movies are just the sweetest. After this video I'm off to rewatch your Treasure Planet reaction for the billionth time
I really LOVE Pixar's Finding Nemo (2003)! It's very the best animated feature film ever!!
And it's one of my favorite unforgettable Pixar franchises along with Toy Story, Cars, Monsters Inc, and The Incredibles!
And Pixar's Finding Nemo is my most favorite animated movie from 2003 when I was 8 to 9 years old in 2003!
All fantastic movies 💖
I deeply love this movie - it's my favourite animated film of all time! My coworker and I used to quote this to each other on shift. She even wrote the entire song from Mr. Ray on my cup once! Even though I've seen it more times than I can count, I still jump when Bruce arrives, so don't feel bad about that :)
I love your reaction videos Nick, and I love this film. My #1 favorite Pixar movie of all time 😍
it's the family stuff that gets me the most emotionally in any film or tv so this one has always been a favourite of mine and i cry every time
Fun fact: Glenn McQueen is who Lightning McQueen from the Cars trilogy is named after. It was made as tribute to him.
I forgot just HOW GOOD this movie was. I saw it so much as a kid that I kind of just take it for granted. But seeing you see it through new eyes was eye opening for me. This is a really well done movie on all sides.
This is my absolute favorite animated movie. Thanks so much for reacting to it, I enjoyed watching it with you.
I loved watching this commentary, and that's because we got to watch something cool in my opinion. You always talk about how much you love water and how cool/beautiful/amazing it looks. And you become impressed on how animation can make it look so real. But at the same time you genuinely have a fear of what can be in the ocean, and that doesn't make you like the water any less. Lol just thought it was cool
For those who don't know, Bloat's a pufferfish, one of the most deadliest fish in the ocean.
I think it was funny how you got freaked out by Bruce the shark🤣🤣when he first appeared
"Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming." I had that in my head for DAYS after watching this the first time. lol. LOVE Dory!
Nick as movie starts: “I’m so excited to watch this movie”
Me, knowing how this movie starts: 😫😭😢
"Except stinkin dolphins..."
Well seeing as dolphins can kill a shark, not surprising.
Especially orca whales
And dolphins are horrible in real life too. They're sexual aggressive and eat their own kids for no reason.
Forever my favorite pixar movie. I love it
I'm sorry for your loss and I'm glad you guys got to share a memory with him.
This movie has a lot of iconic movie quotes. One of my favs! And the sound effects were great too.
Wow, I just finished watching this movie with my niece, it was her first time watching it, thanks for reminding me how great this movie is. I have a 2-disc version of it, and it's amazing how they actually studied the ocean for a very long time in the development of this movie; I also loved hearing her scream When she noticed Buzz Lightyear in the Movie
YESSSS! Another classic comfort movie
15:35 the way you jumped cracked me up 😂
This is one of the best moive ever 👍
I have a fun (kinda scary) story connected to this movie. Back when I was a kid, my parents would take me and my older sister down to Cozumel (a little island off the coast of Mexico, for those who don't know) during our summer vacations. One year, we were snorkeling a ways off the coast, and I mean the conditions were perfect. Bright sunny day, crystal clear waters far as the eye can see. I had recently watched Finding Nemo, and it was really fun watching the wildlife pass beneath us. After a while, I looked up and noticed this fish swimming at me. I thought it was pretty cool until it turned to the side, and I noticed it had teeth. Turned out, it was a barricuda. Took me a long time to get back in the water after that.
Oh my gosh, I don't blame you. That must've been terrifying. 😬
15:46 had me dying when he jumpscared again by the shark leaping toward them😂.
How awesome and special that you have this link to your friend. 💖 It’s my favorite Pixar movie too! This was the first Pixar movie to come around after I decided I wanted to go into animation and I ADORE marine biology (especially sharks, go fig lol…) so…yeah this is the best of both worlds for me. ☺️
So yeah, there are loads of jokes based off of actual fish biology. There are indeed certain fish that hatch and carry their young in their mouth for example. And clownfish brushing against their anenomes are synonymous to brushing *teeth*, LOL. I will forever love Pixar for doing their research and giving us something to laugh at like that. 😆
Fun Fact: Bloat the pufferfish was voiced by Brad Garrett. Garrett also provided the voice for Dim the blue beetle in "A Bug's Life".
I just realized after what happened to Merlins wife and other kids, he moved house and its isolated from most fish
Crazy to think, this movie came out 20 years ago.
My best friend got me Finding Nemo for my birthday (or Christmas- can't remember which) back in 03 and i legit watched it like 10 times that day lol. Still one of my faves!
My other favorite is “Just Keep Swimming”.
That was my dad’s favorite Pixar movie ever since, he was a single father from divorce last 21 years ago. Anyway, I liked this movie when, I was 6 years old.
28:46 yes, yes it is! Fantastic Mr. Fox, a movie on my list, is another movie where he's a voice actor!
Fun fact: Gil is a type of fish known as a "Moorish Idol". This species is notorious for not being able to handle captivity well
Thank you SO much for this video, I LOVE this movie and how great it is!
This movie really is a masterpiece. I love every single thing about it. Crush is definitely my favorite character. And yeah, I didn't realize Gil was voiced by Willam Defoe either for the longest time. But it's true!
