Hey guys! I just thought I’d leave this here in case you were wondering what’s going on in the Disney/Pixar world!
Finding Nemo, 2003
While forming the shape of a sailing ship, the moonfish give tribute to Walt Disney’s 1954 nautical classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by singing part of the song “A Whale of a Tale.”
Monsters, Inc., released November 2, 2001
Toys in Boo’s room include a Jessie doll from Toy Story 2, a Finding Nemo clownfish, and a ball that first appeared in Pixar’s ground-breaking 1986 short, Luxo Jr.
Finding Nemo, 2003
“I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food.” (Bruce)
Finding Nemo, 2003
Crush is the star of his own theme park attraction, “Turtle Talk,” at Walt Disney World and Disney’s California Adventure. In it he talks directly with guests, gives them cool nicknames, and with the help of his friend Dory, teaches them how to speak “whale.”
Brother Bear, 2003
Disney/Pixar prepared a special trailer for Brother Bear to show before Finding Nemo during its initial theatrical release. The moose characters, Tuke and Rutt, suggest that, “If you see only one movie this year, see this one.” Tuke then reminds Rutt that “for those who see only one movie this year, it’s a little late now”. Both the moose then encourage everyone who are “only going to see one movie this year” to leave the theater. As the scene fades to black, Rutt says, “I see some of them leaving.” Tuke then replies that maybe they’re going to “go find that Nemo guy”.
Finding Nemo, 2005
Work first began on the movie in 1997. Physical production actually began in January 2000 with a crew that ultimately comprised 180 people.
