My 2-year-old daughter loves to watch the Disney/Pixar movie Finding Nemo. Consequently, we’ve watched it dozens of times. My wife pointed out this interesting clip from the movie. I thought it was fun and curious. Enjoy!

Ok Bryce, I am an old guy, and this kind of stuff is hard for me to get. I think I can see something here, but so as not to prove how stupid I am, I would like to see your and others comments on this to see if I am on the right track.

lol… Well, I see several things going on. Nemo is “anointed” with some plant branches as he ascends to the summit of a “mount.” There he has to state his name, undergo a trial or test, and receive a new name, “Sharkbait,” in order to become “one” with the others “in the fraternal bonds of tankhood.” Those Pixar guys are clever…
But put in the context of a temple blog like this, you have got to be seeing something else.
Here are a couple of my hints:
Passing through a veil
Getting a new name
Passing from darkness into the light
I could go on.

Good points.
If you want to really see an animated film with a hidden Messianic message watch Robots. I watched it with my grandson, and at the end, the whole story hit me. Little robot boy comes to parents who wanted a child, they assemble him, he grows up showing leadership abilities, then organizes a group of followers, who combat evil. At the end, he saves all the Robot population. Wow! See what you think.

The latest Superman Returns movie (2006) also has quite a few Messianic messages – one man to save the world…
