The bags are filled with water, how are they floating.

[–]Tashre 133 points134 points ago

Never mind that they're talking.

[–]feureau 28 points29 points ago

Not to mention bulgy eyes. What? Nobody at pixar ever seen a real fish before?!

[–]DrGhostly 33 points34 points ago

Or a car, for that matter. ಠ_ಠ

[–]RuafaolGaiscioch 12 points13 points ago

Interesting side note there: the original design for the fish in Nemo were too realistic, children weren't able to identify with them, and the animators had to go back and cartoonify them.

[–]TheNr24 9 points10 points ago

Not just the fish. Everything, even the reflections from the sun in the ocean water were too realistic. So realistic that it was indistinguishable from camera footage. A first at that time.

[–]imasunbear 2 points3 points ago

Whaaaat? Citation needed, and possibly some pictures of that "too-realistic-for-kids" sun. I just can't believe that from hearsay on reddit.

[–]TheNr24 1 point2 points ago

I've got the 2 disc special edition, it's somewhere in the hours of extras. Forgive me for not having the time to sift trough it and then rip it and upload to youtube and then link to it. I'm sure there's a redditective out there with the google skills to find it online though.

[–]alexleafman 0 points1 point ago

I'm glad that someone else realises not all information in the world is on the web.

[–]tuoder 2 points3 points ago*

I don't know about you, but I think movies should only diverge from reality on purpose.

[–]irrelevantPseudonym 16 points17 points ago

Special light water?

[–]feureau 6 points7 points ago

Okay somebody physics this: How can one mix something with water that would allow for water to float over water? I need to know if this is possible, but damn my art degree.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points ago

Saltwater is denser than freshwater, so a bag of freshwater could float on top of the oceans surface. Sugar also makes liquids denser. A sugar-free drink will float on top of a pool, while a drink with sugar would sink to the bottom.

[–]adamdavidson 11 points12 points ago

That solves it, they are in a sugar-free drink.

[–]feureau 4 points5 points ago

... as in regular tap water?

...wait, aren't they seawater fish? Won't they die if you use tap water?

[–]Galevav 2 points3 points ago

It looks like the fish come from a marine environment. Could they survive in fresh water?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago*

The cells of saltwater fish are adapted to high concentrations of salt. Because of the high concentration of salt, the cells don't need as much water. Take away the salt and the cells are getting too much water, and they eventually burst.

Also, if you put a freshwater fish into saltwater it would become dehydrated.

TL;DR: No, saltwater fish need the salt to survive.

[–]Galevav 0 points1 point ago

Not too long, and already knew that. Let me rephrase my question: Are all those fish necessarily marine, or are there freshwater varieties? I looked up pufferfish earlier; the puffer fish have freshwater varieties.
Just looked up starfish just now: no freshwater varieties. So that answers my question.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Well, in the movie they were all kept in the same tank. A few came from pet shops, but one came from the ocean. The one from the ocean had been there a while, too. Since they all lived in the same environment for extensive amounts of time, none of them were dead, and we know at least one is a saltwater fish, we can assume they are all saltwater fish.

[–]jaqq 0 points1 point ago

The difference in density is to small to actually make it float "on top". You will notice little bit of buoyancy but nothing like in the picture.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

It's less dense.

[–]Killfuck_Soulshitter 8 points9 points ago

Unlike aarondamaster.

[–]baccus83 9 points10 points ago

Because cartoons.

[–]ChubbyGirlsPmMe 4 points5 points ago

Damit, now I'm bothered by it...

[–]Glasweg1an 3 points4 points ago

How chubby do you like em ?

[–]ChubbyGirlsPmMe 2 points3 points ago

Skinny Normal Curvy Thick Chubby Fat* Obese

*Bold = preferred

[–]nofelix 8 points9 points ago

They're fish, they have swim bladders. Course, the starfish doesn't, and they shouldn't be floating that high in the water, or that low in the bag... so yeah you're right.

[–]humblerodent 18 points19 points ago

Thought I was in /r/shittyaskscience for a second there.

[–]Kailebuh 5 points6 points ago

It's a children's movie. You're not suppose to notice those things!

[–]Coloneljesus 9 points10 points ago

You mean like in Wall-E? Where the spaceship tilts like a boat? And the gravity acts like on boat?

shit was just wrong...

[–]CorneliusJack 2 points3 points ago

I thought the same, then I thought it might be the artificial gravitational field on the ship. And was messed up when the Rogue AI was fighting with the captain and he turned the wheels around. (and for that matter, why would you need a steering wheel on a intergalactic spaceship?)

[–]Coloneljesus 2 points3 points ago

But if the gravity is generated on the ship itself, it can turn and tilt as much as it wants, you wouldn't notice a shift in gravity (although you will notice the acceleration.

[–]Posh_Mudcrab 0 points1 point ago

like how one of them's totally a puffer fish and could easily solve their current dilemma, but no-fish seems to think of it?

[–]Krasso 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure freshwater is lighter than saltwater. So if the bags are filled with freshwater, i guess it makes sense?

I'm not sure though.

[–]RosieRose23 6 points7 points ago

Wouldn't that kill the saltwater fish?

[–]PantsOffDanceOff 0 points1 point ago

They are saltwater fish though. Seeing as how Nemo was taken from the ocean and then put into the tank. I am going to assume it was a saltwater tank, otherwise this kills the fish.

[–]lkbm 1 point2 points ago

Lower salinity?

[–]kendranot -1 points0 points ago

have you ever washed dishes in your life?

[–]assangeleakinglol 1 point2 points ago

Maybe the seawater is more dense than the artificial water they have in their bags.

[–]malcs85 2 points3 points ago

wait. artificial water?

[–]Glasweg1an 3 points4 points ago

Yeah dude, its like made.... in a factory. Special floaty water.

[–]benhop 2 points3 points ago

Probably meant artificial salt water. You can get artificial salt to mix with regular water.

[–]assangeleakinglol 1 point2 points ago

That's exactly it

[–]NicholsonsEyebrows 16 points17 points ago

You've made me wanna watch this now. It's been a while!

[–]boom929 49 points50 points ago

I wish I was this clever...

[–]NicholsonsEyebrows 13 points14 points ago

looks what you've posted today and upvotes

Nice work on the bookshelf!

[–]Scarjaka 4 points5 points ago

I just went and looked at it too. Kick ass!

[–]boom929 5 points6 points ago

Thanks!

[–]boom929 3 points4 points ago

Thanks!

[–]radbro 10 points11 points ago

It seems like the puffer fish would be the one to know the solution here.

[–]doozyjr 7 points8 points ago

It's my cake day too, but I can never come up with a witty comment or anything, so I'm just sitting this out.

[–]Wapook -1 points0 points ago

At least you remembered yours. I forgot about mine which was 5 days ago :(.

[–]Nautilis 0 points1 point ago

at least you remembered that yours was 5 days ago. I realized mine was 17 days ago. :(

[–]Glasweg1an 0 points1 point ago

Appears to be a very popular cakeday today. I wonder how we snared them all on this day in history.....

[–]esailla 0 points1 point ago

Mine too! Happy cakeday! :)

[–]cloudduel_13 4 points5 points ago

Happy cakeday.

[–]ArseAssassin 8 points9 points ago

  1. Cake day
  2. ????????
  3. Karma

[–]gottabtru -1 points0 points ago

Cake day front page and not a cat in sight. Thank god.

[–]Kris0r 3 points4 points ago

Mine too! etc

[–]nemoomen 2 points3 points ago

Reminds me of classic political drama The Candidate.

[–]Tobislu 1 point2 points ago

Can we not upvote cakeday submissions anymore?

Birthdays are personal and are only celebrated by those who know/care about you. Cake day is a bunch of random people seeing a picture of cake and upvoting you.

[–]sborum 2 points3 points ago

That blowfish just needs to... well, blow up..

[–]nofelix 5 points6 points ago

Then he'd just be caught in the bag :(

It's not like a balloon where the gas inside is under pressure and so bursts outwards. There's seawater on both sides of the bag so it'd just deflate onto him.

He'd probably have more luck making a small hole and then wriggling through before the water gets out.

[–]4000a 3 points4 points ago

dude... we share a cakeday!

[–]Fidoh 2 points3 points ago

Cake days are pretty nice.

[–]ericwithak 1 point2 points ago

Happy cake day!

[–]dwehrietke 0 points1 point ago

Are you a Jedi?

[–]sunshinesan 0 points1 point ago

Get eaten by some sort of predator I presume.

[–]Silversol99 0 points1 point ago

According to Patton Oswalt, you get 20 birthdays to celebrate.

[–]turnleftdale 0 points1 point ago

...repost images evidently!

[–]CrusherEAGLE 0 points1 point ago

Where is this from? Finding Nemo?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

fish condoms

[–]emmulated 1 point2 points ago

i was thinking so hard what i was gonna do for my cake day i forgot it was my cake day the other day :(

[–]elikdawson 0 points1 point ago

Then I shall upvote this comment because it's was your cake day! Close enough.

[–]divinesleeper 0 points1 point ago

Get to the fucking front page, that's what.

[–]towmii 0 points1 point ago

The lack of texture makes it look like a 90s animation.

[–]lud1120 -1 points0 points ago

Finding Emo.

[–]CanuJ4cketoffplz -1 points0 points ago

It's my cake day too....it's a shame I'm not unique in any way...don't know what to post...lol

[–]PollysLithium 1 point2 points ago

This gif is unworthy of this many upvotes I will not upvote you just because it's your cake day.

[–]yaharon 0 points1 point ago

Now you collect your karma, you shameless bastard.

[–]nophwa 0 points1 point ago

This looks like the crappy 3d in those egg breaking video/arcade games found at Round Table Pizzas across CA circa 1994

[–]merryperry 0 points1 point ago

Bug eyes.

[–]kendranot 0 points1 point ago

i graduated from college today and that perfectly sums up my life right now. haha

[–]xXOmegaXisXx 0 points1 point ago

... High quality gif? ಠ_ಠ

[–]TrFessler 0 points1 point ago

The puffer fish can expand to puncture the bag he's in and get out, and then he can help puncture the other fish's bags. Easy solution.

[–]Yaymemes -1 points0 points ago

HAPPY CAKE DAY TO.... AAAAAWWW_YYYEEEEAAAA!

[–]M0D3RNW4RR10R 0 points1 point ago

AAAAAAAWWWW YYEEEEAAAAA

[–]FireBreathingWolves -1 points0 points ago

Same here

[–][deleted] ago

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

Um...what the fuck cunt?

[–]spielzebub 8 points9 points ago

NSFW, troll. Avoid.

[–]TheAdoringFan 2 points3 points ago

You only have 1 image that you use? That's pretty weak
