- Behind the scenesThe first Marlin was another actor
William H. Macy recorded most of Marlin's lines. Director Andrew Stanton felt the character needed a lighter touch and brought in Albert Brooks. In Stanton's view, the swap saved the film. Brooks liked the idea of a clownfish who isn't funny and recorded deliberately bad jokes.

Bruce the great white nods to the mechanical shark of Jaws (1975), nicknamed Bruce on set after Spielberg's lawyer. The line "Here's Brucey!" copies "Here's Johnny!" from The Shining. Darla's music is the theme from Psycho.

As a kid, Andrew Stanton loved the dentist's fish tank and assumed the fish wanted to go home to the ocean. In 1997 he realized he was overprotecting his son on a walk in the park. Those two memories became Marlin and Nemo. The script was already complete when production began.
