** The very fact that Marlin and Coral expected half their eggs to hatch out girls would definitely support the notion that these particular clownfish don't demonstrate the same GenderBender physiology as real-world clownfishes.

I don't know what that was, but it's not Fridge Brilliance.


* Gil calls Nemo "Sharkbait" as a nickname. "Sharkbait" is a synonym for "Chum." Gil is a CrazyPrepared driven genius with a penchant for overly elaborate plans. Gil is Franchise/{{Batman}}.
** He's also a Moorish idol, a type of fish infamous for taking ''really poorly'' to captivity. If it wasn't a deliberate bonus on Creator/{{Pixar}}'s part for viewers who would know, it's interesting to note. And an extra point of already strong [[FridgeHorror irony]] for the [[TheRedStapler Red Stapler Effect]] the movie suffered from.

Tweaking wording.


* The climax near the end of the movie is essentially a {{Book End|s}} for the opening scene - hundreds of lives (including the most prominent female in Marlin's life) in danger of being eaten by a predator: the eggs, Coral and the barracuda in the opening and the fish in the net, Dory and the fishermen in the climax. The main difference between the climaxes is how overprotectiveness is handled: while Coral was unable to let go of her overprotectiveness and tried to save the eggs, directly leading to her and most of them getting eaten by the barracuda, Marlin managed to let go of his own overprotectiveness in order to let Nemo into the net, in turn saving Dory and the fish from the fishermen.

* Gil was voiced by Creator/WillemDafoe, who also played Jesus Christ in ''Film/TheLastTemptationOfChrist''. It is known that early Christians depicted Christ as a fish.
** Not quite. The fish was a symbol of Christianity and a way for Christians to identify each other, not a depiction of Christ Himself.

* Nemo is a Latin word that means "nobody". And it makes sense that this is his name because he's one little fish out of millions in the Pacific Ocean. But it ends up being an IronicName because to Marlin, Nemo is his entire world.
