The Fish Tank... (Continued)

 

Now theres Bloat, he has one famous characteristic in the movie. He bloats. Henceforth his name, is Bloat. I know I know, kinda obvious, but hey, this is a kid's movie remember? So besides the fact that hes a great friend and a bit odd, Bloat is just kinda there. And just as predictably, Nemo tries to swim past but with Bloat being so much larger, even when he isn't bloated, it isn't hard to block Nemo's path. So Nemo ends up stuck in the middle of a huddle of random freaky fish. At this point I always wish I could grab Nemo and just give the poor fish a hug. Now I have no idea how realistic any of this is because my beta Bobby is a total loner. I can't put anything else in his tank unless I want to watch for him to attack them. So Bobby never gets any new friends, he lives in isolation. Bloat and everyone else in this crazy dentist office tank are basic opposites of Bobby. So whilst stuck in the tank, Nemo has to learn to get along with everyone.

Gurgle. Yes, that is his actual character name. He is also the one with a million phobias. Let us go back to the moment he meets Nemo. As a scared little fish in a new environment, Nemo is swimming around frantically trying to escape. (Even Bobby has never tried to do that.) Anyways Nemo is learning his way around the tank decorations when he eventually runs into Gurgle and everyone else. Just like in any 'new school' situation, everyone wants to know where the new kid is from. Ignorant of where Nemo comes from, Gurgle warmly puts a fin around Nemo and asks where he is from. This is where the phobias come into play. Cue  the freak out:
Ok, so I WAS going to put a super short video of him freaking out, but my technical skills are not that amazingly great.....
Anyways, Gurgle is pretty scared of the ocean and the germs it has. Weird right, I mean he's a FISH. Well focusing on his freak out, Gurgle tell Jacques to decontaminate Nemo. Seriously? Is this the CDC where people mess around with incurable illnesses? Come on Gurgle, no one likes a clean freak. You really need to get out more, social lives are important when participating AND functioning in society.
