It has been a long 13 years since we all fell in love with Nemo … And Dory … And Marlin … And Crush … And Squirt … And all of the rest of the "Finding Nemo" crew. The passing years have been filled with saying “just keep swimming” and “I’m gonna touch the buuuuuutt …” and trying to speak whale.
Three years ago, Ellen revealed that there is not actually a 42 Wallaby Way in Sydney, and that a sequel to "Finding Nemo" was in the works. So, in celebration of "Finding Dory" finally finding its way into our local movie theaters (and hearts), let’s reminisce over the best moments in "Finding Nemo" (in no particular order):
Just Keep Swimming - Dory's Number One Hit
We all say it and sing it over and over and over again, just like our girl Dory.
Marlin's Storytelling
He may not always be the life of the party but he's always got a story to tell.
I'm gonna touch the buuuutttttttt
Look at em go.
Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
They say you have to hear something three times before you remember it ... Mine. Mine. Mine.
Hey, Squishy.
Hopefully Squishy makes an appearance in Finding Dory.
Crush is like the Uber of the ocean, at least for Dory and Marlin.
See, everyone uses the buddy system. Not just girls going to the bathroom.
The fish tank chants are kinda like Greek life chants ...
... but way cooler.
Crush is cool enough to put a twist on the classic high-five.
Who else is cool enough to do that? No one. Well, maybe Squirt.
Bloat is basically all of our spirit animal after we eat a lot of Mexican food.
Don't deny it.
Darla ...
She's possibly scarier than the meanest lunch lady you ever had in middle school.
Being a girl is hard.
Even in the ocean.
You got a problem, buddy?
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Nope. Not since "Finding Dory" is here.
They even practice ritual in the ocean!!
Let's just all be thankful someone as frightening as Bruce doesn't lead it here on land.
Don't worry, Nemo.
We can't say it either.
Darla tapping on the tank is kinda like professors pestering you during finals week.
Maybe a little scarier ... But seriously, bullies, give us a break.
Yeah, scratch that. Darla is definitely worse than your professors.
Someone calm that child down.
Nemo loves a good hug.
Let's be real. Who doesn't?
YES, DORY!!!
We are so totally excited!!!
So grab all your friends and family and neighbors and pets and maybe even some nice looking strangers and just keep swimming, swimming, swimming to the movies. It's finally time to hang out with Nemo and Dory and Marlin again.
Seriously ... Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.
