8 Crazy Pixar Fan Theories

As we know from having watched Finding Nemo who knows how many times (or just from reading the title) it's all about Marlin going in search of his missing son, Nemo. It's an epic journey, and results in a happy reunion for the pair. 

So, to once again put a depressingly dark spin on things, let's go back to the beginning of the movie. The barracuda attacks, but rather than leaving one egg - which becomes Nemo - it takes all of them, leaving Marlin all alone in the deep blue sea. He goes through all of the stages of grief, with Nemo invented in his head as a coping mechanism. 

There's denial (creating Nemo), anger (his overprotective ways), bargaining (allowing people to help him), despair (the dentist surgery), and finally, at the end of the movie when they're reunited, acceptance, as Marlin learns to let go and move on. Oh, that one rings all too true.
