Finding Nemo Pays Homage to Jaws

The idea of a vegetarian shark is pretty funny, to say the very least. And yet, there is one in the classic Disney movie Finding Nemo. His name is Bruce, and he is very friendly despite looking terrifying. Of course, that shark was not vegetarian.

This nod to Jaws adds a fun layer of intertextuality to Finding Nemo, allowing viewers to appreciate the reference while enjoying the humorous twist on the traditional portrayal of sharks in cinema.
