Andrew: It didn’t take 13 years. We did it for three years.

Recently theories have been surfacing about the real story behind Pixar’s ‘Finding Nemo. Every kid who watched the Pixar film fell in love with its heartwarming story and glorious animation. The film’s story is clearly a work of fiction created by Andrew Stanton with co-direction by Lee Unkrich.

On coral reefs, “Dory,” the small vibrant blue fish with black stripes and a yellow tail, is known by several other names: Hippo Tang, Royal Blue Tang, Regal Tang, Palette Surgeonfish and by the scientific name Paracanthurus hepatus.

Nemo’s name is a nod to Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. One of the boats in Sydney Harbor is named “For the Birds,” a reference to the Pixar short of the same name.

Nemo is an Oromo word meaning “The Man”. Wow, you say… But wait. In Latin, the same word means “Nobody”! Anyway, the Latin word is where the Captain Nemo of the Nautilus submarine, in Jules Verne’s “20,000 leagues under the sea”, got his name.

The voice of Peach the Starfish Allison Janney in one episode of The West Wing (1999), her character CJ had a root canal, and in Finding Nemo (2003) Peach describes a root canal. The nicknames Dory gave to Nemo (in order of appearance) are Chico, Fabio, Bingo, Harpo, and Elmo.

Nemo is a given name, nickname and surname. It is Latin for “nobody”, and may refer to the alias Odysseus used to trick Polyphemus in The Odyssey.

Father and mother clownfish are tending to their clutch of eggs at their sea anemone when the mother is eaten by a barracuda. Nemo is the only surviving egg and he grows up in his father’s anemone before getting lost on a crazy adventure! What is the family name of the barracuda in Finding Nemo?

Dory is a Paracanthurus hepatus, or Pacific blue tang fish, that is sometimes referred to as a royal blue tang or hippo tang. The name is slightly misleading, since the blue tang isn’t always blue. At night, without light to reflect off its pigmentation, it can appear white with violet touches.

Nemo Origin and Meaning The name Nemo is a boy’s name of Greek origin meaning “nobody”. One of the best known early Nemos was the captain in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, while the more familiar modern one is the animated little orange fish in the Disney movie.

Marlin and Coral, however, are named after real-life animals. Nemo, in turn, is actually Latin for “no one.” In the aforementioned novel, Captain Nemo was so called since nobody ever knows what his real name is if he ever had one. For the record, he was an Indian prince named Dakkar.

Nemo’s right fin is his “lucky” fun, which means that it’s a little smaller than the typically sized fin on his left. He hurt it while he was still an egg during the barracuda attack that claimed the lives of his mom and sister. Hmm.
