With Marlin knocked out, the barracuda ate Coral and her eggs, and presumably, while eating them, one egg fell out of its mouth. When Marlin later regained consciousness that night, he discovered that Coral and all but one of their eggs were gone, as they had been eaten by the barracuda.
Coral is revealed to be alive and survived the Barracuda's attack. And is out there somewhere being searched by her husband Marlin, their son Nemo and sidekick Dory.
Andrew Stanton wrote and directed the film. The inspiration for Finding Nemo sprang from multiple experiences, going back to director Andrew Stanton's childhood, when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home.
Ok so at the very beginning of the movie, it seems like the only reason the Barracuda ate the Marin and Coral's eggs was because it swam after Coral when she went to go protect them.
Barracuda have a formidable reputation as ruthless predators—even depicted in Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo as the merciless villain that kills Nemo's mother.
That's right, we're talking about the opening scene in the movie, where a giant barracuda attacks the home of Nemo's dad, Marlin, and ends up eating Nemo's mom and all of his future brothers and sisters. It's heartbreaking, tragic and a reminder to why Marlin is so protective over his only son, Nemo.
Coral is a minor character in Disney/Pixar's 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo. She was the mate of Marlin and mother of Nemo and approximately 399 unborn clownfish. Unfortunately, Coral and her entire family were attacked by a barracuda in which all of them except Marlin and Nemo perished.
Some animated sequel ideas just don't work out in Hollywood, and it's bittersweet when fans learn exactly what they are missing out on. Such is the case with Finding Nemo 2, a movie that never got to be.
Marlin Lost His Whole Family In The Barracuda Attack
Instead, there's a belief highlighted in the theory that Marlin made up Nemo after all of the eggs were destroyed as a way to cope with his tragic loss of his family before meeting Dory, a fish with memory loss.
We heard bedtime stories about Nemo's father's adventures with the mysterious, adventurous Flip in Slumberland. But then Nemo lost her father in a horrible sea storm.
The protagonist, Nemo, displays a small, or "deformed," fin that is a congenital result of a fatal attack on his mother and sibling eggs—a corporeal characteristic that the story surrounds, yet does not drown in.
“Finding Nemo” would have ended very differently if it reflected the true lives of clownfish. That's because Nemo's dad would have turned into a female before he returned from his journey across the ocean, scientists have revealed.
Even though his wife Coral died, Marlin did not become a female. He remained a male for the entire movie, which I think is kind of weird and a little biologically incorrect.
Parents guide: Possibly frightening scenes: This movie definitely has some tense moments for little kids. The opening scene where the barracuda attacks Marlin's family is one you might not want to show the youngest of kids. Even the scene where Nemo gets captured might scare sensitive viewers.
But according to DeGeneres, being asked to voice Dory in "Finding Nemo" in 2000 saved her, adding that "it was like $75,000 for three years of work." She also went on to voice Dory in the Finding Nemo sequel.
Finding Dory is a 2016 American animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Lindsey Collins and written by Stanton and Victoria Strouse, the film is the sequel to Finding Nemo (2003).
Nemo is a curious and impressionable six-year-old, only child who lives with his overprotective, single-parent father, Marlin. Having led a sheltered life, Nemo brims with the excitement of starting school and finally seeing the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
Dory, the small blue fish with a bad memory from the "Finding Nemo" franchise, is a blue tang, or a Paracanthurus hepatus in scientific terms. Native to the Indo-Pacific and found in coral reefs, these fish weigh around one pound and are generally 10 to 12 inches long, according to National Geographic.
QBI researcher Dr Fabio Cortesi said the Great Barrier Reef anemonefish was basically Nemo's cousin. “We looked at everything starting with the genes they use to see and what proteins they express, and in combination with anatomical data, predicted what these anemonefish can see,” he said.
Nemo is a young clownfish who's the only son of Marlin. Nemo and Marlin were the sole survivors after a barracuda attack that caused Marlin's partner, Coral, and their other 400 fish eggs to perish.
Dory is the third female protagonist in a Pixar film, the first two being Merida and Joy. She is also Pixar's third titular character, the first two being Nemo and WALL-E, and the second titular character to be a protagonist overall, the first one being WALL-E. She is also Pixar's first female titular character.
"Finding Nemo" came out in 2003 and was beloved for its storyline and (somewhat) accurate depiction of life in the ocean. Clownfish really do look like that and live in sea anemones. There is a "whale language" though Dory probably can't speak it.
The clownfish featured in 'Finding Nemo' are Percula clownfish or 'Amphiprion percula'. There are 30 different species of clownfish, we keep three different kinds including the percula. Percula clownfish are found in the Western pacific - Queensland and Melanesia.
