Information in the cast

edit

Coral being killed by the Barracuda would be included in the cast among other information about the characters. Is this possible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4980:90:B19D:744E:2BCC:D341 (talk) 21:23, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Protagonist Mistake

edit

I believe there is one small mistake in the plot's current revision: Marlin should be mentioned first, because he is actually the film's main protagonist, not Nemo (although the latter's name is in the title) and he appears first as well.--Sstanford2 (talk) 18:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

No, the order should be how the credits list them. Usually that is based on how powerful and established the actor is, not on anything to do with the story. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:51, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Correcting Sydney "Harbor" to "Harbour"

edit

The place name noted as "Sydney Harbor" should be corrected to "Sydney Harbour" given it is an Australian place name (proper noun) and not an American place name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blurbmaust (talkcontribs) 14:32, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Lawsuit

edit

Wasn’t there a lawsuit about the film allegedly ripping off a French children’s book?

“In 2003, French author Franck Le Calvez filed suit against Pixar and its distribution company Walt Disney Pictures, claiming that the story and the characters from his book, “Pierrot the Clownfish”, were plagiarized in the film Finding Nemo. The author and his lawyer, Pascal Kamina, demanded from Disney a share of the profits from merchandising articles sold in France. Le Calvez and Kamina lost the lawsuit on March 12, 2004 and intended to file an appeal on October 5, 2004;[2] however, to date there has been no further action taken against Pixar on the matter. On April 15th 2021, The Film Theorists made a YouTube video believing that it was actually Le Calvez who had copied Disney.”

Considering that both texts were copypasted from Pierrot the Clownfish, there and at Finding Nemo#Production. (CC) Tbhotch 03:55, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Premiere

edit

I’ve found online on this article https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/red-carpet-flashback-finding-nemo-133017734.html that finding Nemo seemed to premiere at the El Capitan Theatre on May 17, 2003. So can I edit the article to show that on the top of the page and release part of the page below please? DrkWebber (talk) 20:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oh sorry, I made a mistake, may 18th not 17th. DrkWebber (talk) 20:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
By "top of the page" do you mean the lead? If so, we don't typically mention where a movie premiered, in terms of the specific theater, in the lead. I don't have any opposition to mentioning it in Release section though. DonIago (talk) 21:52, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
I mean at the top of the page where it says "release date". DrkWebber (talk) 16:28, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I'm guessing you mean the infobox then. Based on Template:Infobox film, I think you could add the month without any significant concerns. DonIago (talk) 16:32, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Alright, I'll add it soon. DrkWebber (talk) 16:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Environmental consequences section

edit

I've been looking into the environmental consequences of Finding Nemo and haven't found any hard evidence that there was actually an increase in the amount of wild fish taken for aquariums after the film's release. Meanwhile, there is at least one peer-reviewed scientific article which questions the supposed environmental damage. The references supporting the idea that the film was harmful to ocean life are all very old and anecdotal, quoting organizations that are obscure and some no longer exist.

I have already added the reference to the peer-reviewed journal for balance, but I'd argue that the section needs a complete clean up to reflect that this was more likely a moral panic than anything based on reality, unless someone can find better evidence to the contrary, in which case posting that evidence as references would make the section much more credible.
