LANTERN FISH FROM FINDING NEMO SERIAL

I’m pretty sure Darla is going to be interrogated by Holden Ford and Bill Tench on the eighth season of Mindhunter-not just because she feels zero remorse for killing fish but because of the life path she was probably set on after the traumatic dentist’s visit when a pelican swooped into the office tearing shit up while a live fish landed in her hair and she screamed her head off. Behold, the grim reaper in a sweater that screams “Target sales rack” and a garish retainer:

This little monstrosity is a fish serial killer: Every time her dentist uncle gifts her a fish, she relentlessly shakes the bag until the poor little fella goes belly-up. Surrey: All you need to know about Darla is that Finding Nemo repeatedly uses the music cue from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho to introduce the character. Remember, kids: Death is the Pixar universe’s great equalizer. (Yes, Marlin is sort of annoying and overprotective, but I would also be super paranoid if something ate my wife and dozens of my children.) If it’s any consolation, there’s an Easter egg in Toy Story 4 that implies the barracuda is caught and mounted on an antique-shop wall. Even compared to other Traumatic Pixar Moments, the barracuda attack at the beginning of Finding Nemo sticks with you-it makes you empathize with Marlin’s bone-deep fear of everything in the ocean.

Last time around we ranked pop culture tigers, and enough people were enraged that Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes landed in eighth that we considered going into witness protection, so we’re hoping the site’s dear readers don’t have such strong feelings about Darla, a demon child, or Mr. So, naturally, to commemorate Finding Nemo’s 17th anniversary, we’re going to rank all the characters from this iconic film. It was all, to quote my little turtle son Squirt, sweeeeet.Ī Marine Biologist Reveals What Hollywood Gets Wrong About the OceanĪnd if there’s anything you should know about myself and Megan Schuster, it’s that we love two things: the ocean and ranking things. (The film also hauled in more than $870 million at the box office, enough to justify a good-but-not-as-great sequel.) But what made Finding Nemo so transcendent for certain impressionable young viewers was the fact that it was set mostly below the surface, exploring a vibrant underwater world where sharks are trying to go vegetarian by attending AA-like meetings, sea turtles (who are totally high) ride gnarly currents, and fish living in a dentist’s office become obsessed with the minutiae of dental procedures. When Finding Nemo just kept swimming into our lives 17 years ago, it did what most Pixar movies set out to do: It made children laugh and adults cry. Welcome to The Ringer ’s Return to Summer Blockbuster Season, where we’ll feature different summer classics each week. 2020’s summer blockbuster season has been put on hold because of the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the movies from the past that we flocked out of the sun and into air conditioning for.
