Pixar really know how to drop in those mind blowing moments. Squeezing references to a shared universe of films with every new movie release, like that damn pizza planet truck, you can’t fault them on their attention to detail. Whether its through interlinking franchises or the sheer determination to make everything as precise as possible, there's always something interesting going on in a Pixar movie.

Finding Nemo is no different, with every single frame of animation functioning as a biologically accurate depiction of marine life as it would be underwater. Take that, Shark Tale, no one wants your dancing fish car wash.

Turns out that the company hired a functional morphologist to teach post-graduate ichthyology to everyone on the computer fish making team. Every single flap of a fin is exactly how that fish would actually behave underwater. Blimey.
