Trivia

 * This is the first Disney film since 2011's Winnie the Pooh with the company being credited by its full name.
 * The fact of the company being credited as Walt Disney Pictures rather than just Disney was due to the brand meaning more than just the film studio nowadays and its necessity to distinguish its divisions.
 * Unlike Finding Dory and like Finding Nemo, the Tank Gang has a larger role.
 * Similar to Finding Dory, some of the visitors at the NZ Aquarium have the same models from earlier Pixar films.
 * Alexander Gould made a small cameo as one of the employees at the aquarium, much like he did as Passenger Carl in Finding Dory.
 * For the Finding Nemo franchise, Finding Marlin marks the first time the opening isn't a flashback and the first that doesn't have a post-credits scene.
 * Finding Marlin has strong connections to Finding Nemo in terms of continuity, some reused music and flashbacks. Here are examples of callbacks to the first:
 * Marlin tells Nemo and Dory a bedtime story of what happened to Coral at the very beginning.
 * Marlin has a bad dream of when he lost Coral to the barracuda.
 * When the kids at Nemo's field trip ask Marlin about ever having a wife, he tells them the truth that he lost Coral to the barracuda.
 * The three sharks (Bruce, Anchor and Chum) return from the first film as they give Marlin and company a lift.
 * When Marlin, Nemo and Dory wake up from the cave they slept for the night and continue to travel, we see places and certain characters from the first film, including the trench, a jellyfish forest and the whale.
 * When Gill explains his plan to everyone, the "Foolproof" music from reused since its previous appearance in Finding Nemo, when Gill discusses his plan in which Nemo is the only one to jam the filter.
 * Fang, the barracuda from the first film, returns, but as the main antagonist.
 * In the climax, Nemo remembers the "Ring of Fire" from Finding Nemo and, proving that he is brave enough, helps Marlin escape from Fang by going into the crater.
 * This is the first Pixar film to be released in January.
