52 Fans Are Pointing Out Hidden Details and Jokes in Beloved Cartoons and Animated Films

Children’s films are a lot more sophisticated than most of us think. The creators pay great attention to details; every movie is thought out. One scene in Finding Nemo is a great example of this careful attention to detail. Gil is the leader of the Tank Gang (lol), a lawless group of fish living in a tank at the dentist’s office.

It so happens that the leader of the pack, Gil, belongs to a species of fish that is not cut out for captivity, called a Moorish idol. So, it makes perfect sense that he’s the one always scheming and looking for ways to escape the small aquarium. Most people won’t notice this because we don’t really recognize fish species, but even this smallest detail is thought out.
