Outtakes are getting too predictible methinks. There was, of course, a great bit of business at the end if you stayed for the credits. The DVD, I'm sure, will have lots of extra stuff.

I saw the movie this afternoon, it was wonderful.

I stayed till the end of the credits and read about the Monsters Inc Cameo but I did not see him... when and where was it?

 

[Joel C]

Near the end of the credits, Mike swims by with a mask and fins on. I can't imagine how you could miss it, provided you were looking at the screen.

The best bit was the last gag at the very, very end.

 

[ThomasC]

Yeah, Mike swam across the screen right before the last gag. I didn't notice that it was him until he was almost off the screen, though.

From Aaron Garman's review:

At one point, voices from the right surround scared us!

That's the best surround effect that I've heard in a theater, which means I probably don't go to theaters with good/great surround often. I thought it was someone in the theater doing that!

There's an "easter egg" article about cameos in Nemo here.

 

[Brandt]

Anyone else think that naming the great white shark 'Bruce' was subtle gesture to 'Jaws', where the crew gave the same name to their mechanical albatross?

The film makers said that it was and it has been mentioned in many of the reviews. Sooooo, it comes out not too subtle in the end.

I saw Nemo this morning projected digitally with a DLP projector in beautiful downtown Merrifield VA. It was stunning. Much better than the film version. It had great detail and breath taking stunning colors every where.

"mine mine" said the numberless sea gulls. This movie is quite the hoot!

 

[ThomasC]

I saw it again in the same theater to try to find the cameos and such. I wasn't able to spot Buzz Lightyear (I think he's in the dentist's office lobby, but the shots were too fast), but I think I saw the pizza truck. It's at the end where the rest of the fish escape from the tank and there's a shot of the highway outside the dentist's window. You can only see the tops of the car, but I think I saw a truck with a sign on the roof that might've been the pizza truck. Were there signs on the roof of the pizza truck in all the other Pixar films?

Oh yes, and Finding Nemo was better the second time around. The audience at the showing yesterday weren't too lively, but not a lot of people were there. There were a lot more people at the showing today but reactions (pretty much laughter) from the audience mostly came from the parents.

 

[Peter Kline]

I was amused by the Psycho screeching violins every time the niece entered and the name on the boat: "The Surly Mermaid". Many jokes well over the kids (and some teenagers as well).

 

[ThomasC]

Does anybody know who did the vocals for Knick Knack? I'm guessing it's Rockapella, but the credits didn't say, as far as I saw.

Oh wait, I checked at IMDB, and it says that Bobby McFerrin composed the music. Perhaps he mixed all his vocals?

 

[Patrick Sun]

I saw Buzz in the dentist's waiting area.

Some little girl was cackling when she laughed, which made it a strange viewing experience last night.

 

[DonRoeber]

Anyone hear anything yet about outtakes being added to the film? I'd gladly see it again in the theater if pixar were to add 'em like they've done with previous films.

Of course, I may just see it again anyway.

 

[Peter Kline]

Knick Knack vocals were by Bobby McFerrin... he had a credit at end.

I caught it.

I'm getting this on DVD when it comes out.

I saw his credit, but only under "Music composed by" or something, nothing to do with performing. But, oh well.

 

[Peter Kline]

Looks like Nemo will hit the 70 million mark for the weekend. Friday and Saturday total estimate was $50,500,000. Amazing considering the number of screens ("only" about 3300 dude) and all those childrens admissions. This would top the 60 million that Monsters Inc. did.
At the showing I saw, practically the whole audience bolted out and didn't stay to see the closing credits and all the goodies therein.

 

[Patrick Sun]

I'm having a hard time believing each theater only has one print of the film.

I went to 2 different theaters this weekend, and one theater had it playing in 3 of their theaters, and the other had it playing in 4 of their theaters.

I would suspect there's 4500-5000 prints in circulation among the 3300 theaters.

 

[ScottR]

Did anyone else see Nemo in Monsters Inc.? He makes a cameo as one of Boo's toys, along with Jessie from Toy Story 2.

 

[Joe Hsu]

Wow...I just got back from that movie and damn was it good. I was too busy watching the main characters, that I missed the references to Mike and the pizza van from TS...guess I'll have to catch it the second time around.

MINE!
