Leilani recently started to be really afraid at certain scenes while watching Nemo – especially when the fish are depicted fearful. The scene that Andy said almost made her cry from fear is when Nemo swims inside the filter unit to jam the pump.
The first scene, where Coral gets eaten she watches very sadly, and sometimes comments on ‘poor Marlin’, ‘crying a lot’, but I assume because Coral is just in the beginning and no attachment is formed to the character, no real fear is shown (Marlin first bosses her in and then gets out to defend her). I told her that poor Coral gets eaten, but she does not seem to empathise with her at all – or at least less than with the average fish on her plate… but then gets really sad in the next scene with Marlin.
Nemo’s initiation scene to the tank gang she likes so much that she re-enacts it – ah-oh-oh-oh a-oh-oh ring of fire ah-oh-oh-oh sharkbait oh-ah-ah. I’ll try to record it so you know what I’m talking about….
We ordered her more Nemo sippy-cups, and – in an attempt to keep her from wearing her Nemo boardshorts all the time – nice Nemo T-shirts and a dress, but so far she just wants to wear the dress or T-Shirt with the shorts….
