Whales echo location is actually formed by clicks not the "ooooooo" songs as portrayed in this movie. If rightly representated Bailey would have helped Dory with sharp clicks not the "ooooooo" sound represented. Sperm whales, belugas and orcas all use sonar clicks in this way.

Jerome Ranft replaced Joe Ranft for the role of Jacques after his brother's death in 2005. This is the first time where one of Ranft's characters have been replaced in a later film, as in Toy Story 3 (2010), Wheezy and Lenny only made a silent cameo at the start of the film, and in Cars 2 (2011), Red never spoke. It's also only the second Pixar film to star Jerome, the first one being Up (2009), seven years prior.

At the end of the credits, an extra scene reveals what the Tank Gang has been up to, apparently still in their Plastic Bags having floated all the way to the Marine Institute and become a part of it, being covered with algae (except for Jacques who in Finding Nemo (2003) was addicted to cleaning, being that he's a cleaner shrimp).

[norma]

Despite the film's name, it's actually Dory's parents that they're searching for/finding, as opposed to Dory herself. However the title ultimately refers to Dory's search for and finding herself.
