  Nemo boldly ignores his father and touches a boat, only for him to get caught by snorklers.

  A barracuda with very long and pointed teeth snaps viciously at Marlin and Coral, Marlin is knocked unconscious, and the other fish along with many eggs are gone when he comes around (the barracuda apparently ate them although we do not see it).

  Dory is hit in the nose, her nose bleeds, Bruce gets a whiff of the blood and goes into a frenzy chasing Marlin and Dory through a wrecked submarine, crashing into doors, lunging through hatches, breaking through the hull and trying to squeeze into a torpedo tube; the two fish push a torpedo into his mouth, he spits it out, and it floats toward an underwater mine field setting it off.

  Two fish swim into very deep and very dark water, they see a light and begin to follow it, but it turns out to be a anglerfish with very sharp teeth, and it chases them and snaps at them (one fish ends up in its stomach, along with its lighted lantern, briefly).

  Two fish are surrounded by jelly fish (one is stung a couple of times), they bounce off the tops and try to get out but one is trapped; the other returns to save it and they both fall unconscious after being stung several times (one has scars on its side).

  There are tense moments when Nemo goes into a tank filter to clog it with a pebble and is sucked back into the filter tube toward a fan -- it is pulled out just before hitting it.

  Two fish are sucked into a blue whale's mouth and one rams repeatedly at its "teeth" (actually baleen plates used to filter krill and plankton) trying to get out. Eventually, water rushes through, the two trapped fish cling to the whale's tongue, and they are shot out of its blowhole.

  A large fishing net scoops many fish into it, they scream and panic, but then they swim hard downward and the net breaks and the fish are freed -- one fish seems injured but it's fine.

  A girl screams when a pelican flies through a dentist's office and a fish jumps into her hair.

  Two fish flop onto a table and one is flipped down a drain (we see him swirling through pipes).

  Bruce's appearance has his teeth and how massive he is.

  After a heated argument where Marlin's overprotectiveness becomes too much for Nemo to bear, Nemo swims off to prove him wrong and gets captured.

  There's plenty of light-hearted humour, but the themes include struggling with parenthood and being separated from one's father.

  The whole film can be very distressing.

  A pelican flies into an office. A girl screams at the pelican. The pelican knocks down one of the tools and it goes on.

  Dory and Marlin get chased by a anglerfish with strobe patterns and very sharp teeth.

  A few jumpscares happen throughout the movie.

  A man yells in pain as the dentist scrapes and drills his teeth without numbing medicine. He would probably get fired for doing this in real life.

  Nemo boldly ignores his father to prove to him that he can protect himself by touching a boat.

  Two characters are shown with scars.
