8 Films That Said Being Different Is Not A Problem

2. Fish Are Friends, Not Food (Finding Nemo)

Finding Nemo - a film about being different in two halves. One from Nemo, the tiny clown fish with only one good fin, who swims up a fish tank filter to save his new friends, survives being captured and stays positive that his Dad will rescue him. The other from Marlin his dad, who swims the entire ocean to save his son, battles sharks, jellyfish and puts up will Dory, the Royal Blue Tang Fish with short term memory loss. Dory's phrase of 'just keep swimming' is somewhat of a glass half full tagline, as it becomes the ground on which being different doesn't get in your way when you have a mission to complete. Luckily in this film, the mission is successful, Marlin and Nemo are reunited and Nemo's one dysfunctional fin becomes a cool trait amongst his fishy friends.
