12 Things In Pixar Movies That Make No Sense

4. Finding Nemo - How Did Nemo And Marlin Get Home?

The animators and writers at Pixar went the extra mile to make Finding Nemo as believable as possible. You know that scene where the netted fish capsize a boat by swimming down? Fish can actually do that! Remember when Nemo escapes from a fish tank by damaging the filter? The filmmakers’ dismantled the bio-filtration unit of a fish tank to make sure this concept was plausible.

Despite taking steps to make the story as accurate as possible, believability falls apart at the end. After Marlin reunites with his lost son in the film's conclusion, they return home... somehow.

No, seriously. How could the fish possibly get home? Marlin had the least straightforward journey possible to find his son. He swam through a pitch-black region, a mine-field, took a short cut through a slipstream (which he wouldn't be able to do on the way back), travelled inside a whale's mouth, and flew inside a pelican's beak.

In most of these events, Marlin couldn't see where he was going so how could he find his way back? Does he have a post code?
