There's a scene where Crush the turtle is describing how they found Marlin and Dory. Well, that scene looks very similar to one in The Little Mermaid, where Flounder is describing how he and Ariel escape from the shark attack in the ship.

Quotes
Marlin: Now it's my turn. I'm thinking of something dark and mysterious. It's a fish we don't know. If we ask it directions, it could ingest us and spit out our bones.
Dory: What is it with men and asking for directions?
Marlin: I don't want to play the gender card right now. You want to play a card, let's play the "let's not die" card.

The "'For a bite that counts', alligator floss'" poster on the wall, next to the window, disappears as the dentist grabs the pelican, then it suddenly reappears. The poster is first visible in an earlier shot. See more...

There's a scene where Crush the turtle is describing how they found Marlin and Dory. Well, that scene looks very similar to one in The Little Mermaid, where Flounder is describing how he and Ariel escape from the shark attack in the ship.
In the scene where Dory tries to read the name on the diving mask, she first reads "P. Shirley" before reading correctly "P. Sherman". Peter Shirley is a famous computer graphics researcher, who wrote several books on the topic.
The "Hidden Mickey" appears in the bubbles near Gil, when Nemo is stuck in the filter.
The number "A113" has appeared in every Pixar film. In this film, it is the model number on the camera used by the scuba diver who takes Nemo.
It has recently been mentioned that Finding Nemo and Wallace and Gromitt have something in common. Well, there's another thing: if you look closely at the seagulls, they look a lot like the penguin from the Wallace and Gromitt episode, "The Wrong Trousers".
A possible nod to Nick Park/Aardman - The dentist's address is on Wallaby Way and Wallace & Grommit live on West Wallaby Street.
When the kids are at the "drop-off," the shot looks a lot like the shot from "A Bug's Life" (1998) when Dot looks over the edge.
Look closely at the toy treasure box in the dentist's office, if you look inside, you can see the head of 'Little Mikey', the beloved doll of Mike Wazowski from the previous Pixar film, Monsters Inc.
Many of the crew did voice cameos in the movie. Mr Ray the schoolteacher was co-writer Bob Peterson. Joe Ranft, who did various jobs on many Disney and Pixar movies was Jacques the French cleaning shrimp, and also played Wheezy in Toy Story 2. Seems they bagged all the best parts for themselves.
This is mainly for Aussies: Rove McManus, a popular Australian television personality, is the voice of one of the crabs Dory and Nemo meet (the one Dory threatens with the seagulls).
Pearl, the octopus, looks remarkably like Boo from Monsters Inc.
As Dory and Marlin are blasted out of the whale's blowhole, you can see Mike Wazowski, the little green, one eyed monster from Disney's previous film, Monsters Inc, swimming amongst the bubbles.
