Pixar ’s movies have always excelled at making their audience both laugh and hollo . The renowned studio is great at getting a chemical reaction out of its viewers , andFinding Nemois a prime model of this . As the story of a father searching for his abducted boy , there ’s a real aboriginal , excited association from the audience , whether they ’re take in the film as a parent or a minor .

Along the means , there are plenty of laughs , but there ’s also a tidy social disease of tearjerking dramatic event . This balance is aid by soundly modernise character . So , here areFinding Nemo ’s 5 Funniest ( & 5 Saddest ) Moments .

Funniest: Marlin meets Dory

Pixar moving-picture show always have great partnership at their core . Marlin and Dory are high on a long list of iconic duos that include Woody and Buzz , Mike and Sulley , and Carl and Russell . The first meeting between these characters ( except Mike and Sulley , who were already roommates at the start ofMonsters , Inc. , but we eventually saw their meeting in the prequelMonsters University ) is always a hilarious import .

When Marlin contact Dory inFinding Nemo , he was frantically searching for his boy , dire to remember all the information he could about Nemo ’s captors . He bumped into a blue piquance who could n’t remember a thing , and the rest is comedy story .

Saddest: Marlin’s wife and all but one of his unborn children are killed by a barracuda

This is the shot that a lot of kids ’ parents   — include Milhouse ’s — skipped on DVD viewings . The Thomas Kid who were inauspicious enough to brook it take how speedily their life could terminate , and how destroyed their aliveness could become if the lives of those around them ended .

There ’s a genuine sense of terror when the barracuda arrives inFinding Nemo ’s prologue , as we see an ecosystem at gaming from the perspective of the lifeforms at the bottom of the nutrient chain . Appropriately , a flick about a father ’s search for his son begin with him lose everything besides that Word .

Funniest: “Fish are friends, not food.”

The huge , ominous great white-hot shark inFinding Nemowas name Bruce after the nickname given to the mechanical shark on the located ofJaws . Unlike the shark from Steven Spielberg ’s 1975 masterpiece , Bruce and his friends do n’t want to wipe out anyone . They do n’t even want to consume fish , which they ’re biologically supposed to , let alone people .

According to their creed , “ Fish are friends , not solid food . ” The estimation of bloodthirsty shark take on a vegetarian dieting was really shady . However , when Bruce gets a taste of blood after Dory bumps her nose , he get the bloodlust and begin hungrily pursuing her and Marlin .

Saddest: “I look at you and I…I’m home.”

When Marlin run across Nemo act to be idle and believes that he is , he turns around , defeated , and decides to head home . But Dory stops him . She does n’t want him to leave her , because when she ’s around him , she can commend things better . And she does n’t call Marlin by his name   — she just enounce , “ lay off ! ”   — because she ca n’t remember it .

She laments her forgetfulness : “ When I look at you , I can feel it . I look at you and I … I’m base . Please . I do n’t want that to go away . I do n’t wanna forget . ” What ’s even more tragical about this moment is that Dory ’s spoken language does n’t even make Marlin come back . He staidly replies , “ I ’m sorry , Dory , but I do , ” and swims aside .

Funniest: “Sharkbait, ooh-ha-ha!”

As the new hombre in the Pisces tank car at the dental practitioner ’s office , Nemo ( or , “ Sharkbait ” ) is ask to take part in an initiation ritual . He ’s called to the peak of Mount Wannahockaloogie , a little miniature vent that ’s been used to decorate the storage tank , to be invite into the inner circle by Gill .

There ’s a chant involved in the ritual   — “ Sharkbait , ooh - ha - ha ! ”   — that all of the Pisces holler out whenever his name is mentioned . When it catch a little annoying , Gill says , “ Enough with the Sharkbait , ” and then Gurgle starts the chant , but gets abashed before finish it when he realizes he ’s the only one : “ Sharkbait ! Ooh … ba - AB - do . ”

Saddest: “I hate you.”

Every child , at some full point throughout their life , will tell their parents they hate them . And every single one of them will eventually come to regret it . InFinding Nemo , we see this from the parent ’s point of view . When Nemo tells Marlin , “ I detest you , ” we can feel Marlin ’s devastation .

All he has left in the world , after a barracuda kill his wife Coral and all but one of their unborn children , whose ballock was cancel , is Nemo , and he ’ll do anything to make certain Nemo is secure . But this drives Nemo away . It ’s perhaps the movie ’s most heartrending minute ( well , second most grievous , after the aforementioned carnage ) .

Funniest: Squirt prepares Marlin and Dory to surf the East Australian Current

When Marlin meets Crush , he gets an important object lesson in parenting . He ’s overprotective of Nemo because he ’s scared that something spoiled will happen to him , like what pass off to Coral and all their other egg . It ’s what drove Nemo away . Marlin ask to watch to trust Nemo and give him some more freedom .

crunch give this variety of exemption to his Word , Squirt , who gives Marlin and Dory a crash course in deviate from the East Australian Current . Rather than keep Squirt conceal away to protect him from danger , Crush lets him dive head - first into grave situations to learn how to cover with them . It ’s not gross parenting , but it did learn Marlin an important example .

Saddest: “I have to tell him how old sea turtles are!”

Tragedy happen upon Marlin ’s pursuance to reunify with his son at every bit . By some miracle , he and Dory make their direction to Sydney , but right before they get there , they ’re sucked up by a gamy whale and almost digested . Marlin is determined to get out of the whale ’s mouth , so he charge at the brush over and over again , trying to disclose through .

He cries out , “ I have to get out of here ! I have to obtain my Logos ! I have to say him how old sea turtle are ! ” It ’s touching to see how much that little conversation with Nemo affected Marlin . It tells us everything we want to bed about their relationship .

Funniest: Jacques cleans Nemo

When Gill apply Nemo a hitch of the Pisces tank in the dentist ’s office , we ’re treated to some of the ripe quality entry in Pixar ’s telling history , like house of cards panicking about his bubble bunk from his hoarded wealth chest and slamming it close .

Arguably the funny instant with these characters is when Jacques cleans Nemo . He spins the small clownfish around so fast that he becomes a blur , but when he ’s done with him , he ’s spotless . Nemo is so clean that he ’s burn . And then Jacques quick retreats back into the novelty diver ’s helmet where he live and   sweep the cage doorway over .

Saddest: “I love you, Daddy.” “I love you, too, son.”

This moment fall into the tears - of - joy category , especially after everything Marlin and Nemo have been through in their quest to reunify with one another . They were also occupy with ruefulness about previous consequence , like Marlin alienating Nemo and Nemo telling Marlin he hate him .

When Nemo tells Marlin , “ I roll in the hay you , Daddy , ” and Marlin replies , “ I love you , too , Logos , ” it ’s not a in particular sad moment , but it ’s certainly an worked up one , and there is n’t a dry eye in the consultation . The whole pic has been leading up to this present moment . Marlin desperately look for for Nemo so that they could say these words to each other .
