All of the remarkable, "abnormal," even freakish characters in "Finding Nemo" swim with and against the undertow, and neither "overcome" their so-called physical and intellectual "problems," nor prevail "in spite of" them, as conventional narrative and stereotypes would prescribe. And in graphic illustration, they far exceed even two dimensions.
However, these aspects are greatly overlooked in the film, perhaps poignantly asserting the film's largely unprecedented progressiveness. After all, more classic animated fairytales have been known for their dubious, and sometimes publicly criticized sexist and ethnocentric biases. The princesses are stolen property, properly saved and wed, while evil characters are laden with non-Western, non-white stereotypes.
Further, malice is often embodied in physically "deformed," and otherwise visually "abnormal" characters, marked, like Nemo, by displayable difference and often specifically placed on display to provide a counter-example to "normal. One would have a difficult time differentiating which kinds of bodies are on display in this splendid spectacle, and to what significance.
Nemo's disability, visually defined by his unique fin, affects, yet does not dictate his daily life, and initiates moments of joy and self-discovery. Marlin learns to trust Nemo and his self-defined abilities, as prescriptive stereotypes of disability are tested and disproved and the protagonist's triumph is enabled.

In the movie, it looks like a type of warp-speed highway for aquatic life. The current on the east side of the Australian coast that flows in a southward direction from the Great Barrier Reef. EAC transports more than 40 million cubic meters of water each second. As for fish "riding" the EAC the way they do in the movie, some scientists say they have seen tropical fish "hitching a ride" on the current , though it is not quite as fast as it appears in the movie.
In one of the most famous scenes from the movie, Dory says she is able to speak whale, oscillating her tones to mimic a whale's sonar. A somewhat accurate fact, whales communicate by using sonar waves , which is part of their echolocation abilities, or using distinct sounds to discern surroundings.
Sperm whales, one study says, could have their own language that varies by each clan. Fish also communicate through specific sounds , most commonly fish and invertebrates communicate via clicks and rhythmic noises — including grunts, croaks, and snaps. Poaching, which is different than mere recreational diving , can be a scourge to marine life, especially in the endangered Great Barrier Reef.
Like the Aussie dentist, Dr. Sherman, poachers and divers who usurp marine life for their own purposes can severely damage the thriving ecosystem that is the Reef, notably by bringing in foreign influences and disturbing the natural state of the environment.
Just like Dr. Sherman didn't realize he was separating Marlin and Nemo, humans may not realize we're damaging aquatic wildlife.

The two get into a heated argument, with Marlin believing Nemo's disability is too much of a hazard to his safety, but Nemo insists he is fine and can take care of himself.
The argument reaches its peak when Marlin tells Nemo he can't do things he thinks he can, causing Nemo to tell his father that he hates him. As Marlin tries to explain the situation to Mr. Ray, Nemo decides to prove he can survive dangers by touching the boat. Marlin, who is watching and also alerted by the student Kathy , orders Nemo to come back, when Nemo is suddenly taken by a diver, who puts him on a boat and heads off to a dentist's office in Sydney, Australia. In the dentist's office, Nemo is placed inside a fish tank.
Though initially scared by his sudden change of surroundings, as well as being separated from his father, Nemo soon meets the friendly Tank Gang, who live peacefully watching the dentist and his patients. The fish are shocked when they suddenly learn that Nemo is to be a gift for the dentist's niece, Darla.
Upon learning that Darla has a past history as a "fish-killer," Nemo becomes horrified and tries to swim away, but is sucked into the filter's tube.
Nemo then encounters the Tank Gang's leader, Gill , who shows him how to escape the tube on his own. Nemo escapes successfully, impressing Gill.
That night, the Tank Gang accepts Nemo into their group, dubs him "Sharkbait" and decide to help him avoid being taken away by Darla by escaping the tank, however the first step in the plan involves Nemo using a pebble to jam the filter's fan, since he is the only one small enough to fit inside the filter. The first attempt at their plan falls apart when the pebble is not strong enough and Nemo is almost sucked into and killed by the fan.
Distraught, Gill decides that he shouldn't force Nemo to go back into the filter. However, Nemo soon learns from Nigel the pelican that Marlin is on his way to rescue him, lifting his spirits as he hears of Marlin taking on sharks and jellyfish. Nemo realizes he also needs to be brave, and inspired by his father's exploits, makes a second attempt to jam the filter. This time, the plan works, causing the tank to become covered in scum and algae.
The next day, the fish are stunned to realize their plan has backfired, as the dentist has replaced the tank's filter with a new, high-tech version. Right before Darla arrives, Nemo is placed in a bag.
Thinking quickly, Nemo is able to fool the dentist by playing dead, causing the dentist to try to throw him into the garbage. However, at that exact moment, Nigel arrives with Marlin and Dory , and panic ensues, causing the dentist to drop Nemo's bag.
An observing Marlin believes that Nemo has really died and becomes distraught as Nigel is shoved away. Nemo is suddenly picked up by Darla, but Gill and the rest of the Tank Gang make a last-ditch effort to save Nemo. Gill launches himself out of the tank and on top of Darla, causing her to drop Nemo's bag.
Gill then flings Nemo down a nearby sink drain, and Nemo falls into the treatment plant sewers. In the ocean, Nemo escapes being captured by crabs before he runs into Dory, who had earlier helped Marlin in his search for his son. Though Dory does not initially remember Marlin's goal, due to a short-term memory loss issue, Nemo decides to help her find the fish she says she is looking for.
Upon seeing the word "Sydney," Dory recalls her adventures and leads Nemo to Marlin who is still brokenhearted.
