Corrected entry: When Nigel drops Marlin and Dory back into the water you can see in the close ups of the fish that it's starting to rain. However in the shots of Nigel it isn't, and when they go under water you can't see any raindrops hitting the surface above them.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: When Nemo is jumping on Marlin the first day of school, the shot pans upward and it looks as though there is some sort of coral or plant life formation directly above the anemone. In all other shots there is nothing between the anemone and the ocean's surface. (00:05:15)
Correction: All exterior shots of the anemone show all sorts of plant life all around - it's quite obviously situated near the bottom of the reef where the ocean life is the most lush. The submitter may have been confusing this anemone with the one Marlin and Coral had bought at the beginning of the film, which is situated in a wide-open environment. This isn't the same one that Marlin and Nemo live in presently, though - the events that took Coral away from him have taught Marlin that a better habitat is well-protected, so they moved to a different neighborhood.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: When Nemo actually jams the fishtank filter gears and the others are trying to get him out, how did he get out so fast? We saw when he failed to jam it that the tube to get out in was tight and took a little while to get through. But it only takes him several seconds.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the dentist's niece shows up, we see her tapping an aquarium that has Nemo, Gil, etc. in it in the waiting room. Then she goes into the operating room and the same fishtank is there.
Correction: That's right, it is the same fishtank. The tank is built into the wall between the waiting room and the dentist's operatory, so it's visible from both rooms.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: When the 'but' is motoring rapidly away from the site where it picked up Nemo, it can be seen in one of the above-water shots still flying the red-and-white 'Diver Down' warning flag. Clearly, the two divers are IN the boat at this time.
Correction: The flag is still present, true, but it's at the BOTTOM of the pole; in other words, it's been lowered and is no longer "flying".

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene in the fish tank where they all say where they are from the starfish says that it is from ebay which is untrue because you are not allowed to sell animals on ebay.
Correction: Except that is a fairly recent addition to Ebay's rules. We have no way of knowing how long the dentist has owned his fish; he could have acquired them long before the rule went into effect.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Dory and Marlin are about to get squirted out of the whale, Dory tries to speak whale. Marlin gets angry and tells Dory that she can't speak whale. When he does this, he calls her Nemo instead of Dory.
Correction: This is not a film mistake, it's a story element and was deliberate on the part of the writers. The sentence is a word-for-word repetition of Marlin's chastising of Nemo earlier in the film. When Marlin realizes what he has said and what he has called Dory, he also realizes that he has been too hard on her (just as he was too hard on Nemo), and decides to trust her by letting go.

Correction: The shots of Nigel do indeed show the same tiny circular ripples in the water that are shown during the closeups of Dory and Marlin. The drops themselves are never seen and are obviously too small to be noticed while still in midair - only the circular ripples show where they're landing. As for why the ripples aren't visible when the fish are underwater, look how far beneath the surface they are in that shot and how agitated the surface itself is. It would be virtually impossible to notice the tiny ripples at that distance.
