1. Baby Dory With Big Eyes
One of the best things about Finding Dory is that we got to see her origin story, including what she was like as a baby.
Dory is a blue tang fish, and in reality babies of this species will actually be yellow.
The filmmakers decided to keep her adult color scheme so it wouldn’t be confusing to people who don’t know this fact.
2. Bailey Uses Echolocation
Bailey the beluga whale is using her special echolocation powers to help her friend Dory in this scene.
In reality, these whales use a series of clicks to create sound waves that help them locate food and threats.

Nemo was the namesake of the first film, but he takes a back seat in this film even though he still plays an important role.

One of Dory’s main character traits is that she has a very short memory.
