Corrected entry: When Marlin and Dory are inside the whale, we see his uvula several times, most noticeably when the two are hanging on to his tongue. Whales do not have uvulas. However, one was added by the filmmakers to show that Marlin and Dory were inside his mouth. (01:12:35)

Correction: Adding human like qualities to animals and items in animated films like this wouldn't qualify as a mistake. By that same logic, the fish speaking, having human like eyes, a shark being able to grin, fish using their fins like arms and holding each other, etc, would all be mistakes.

Unlike the eyes and the ability to speak, the uvula serves no story or animated purpose, especially since the whale is illustrated much more accurately than the other characters.
It still boils down to adding human features to an animated cartoon character. It's just common practice.
