Finding Nemo has been one of my favorite movies since it first came out. When we had an exchange student living with us, I was so excited that she wanted to watch it with me! She had seen the movie before, but always in German.
One of her favorite lines from the movie was "Thats a big butt." In the German version, they simply say "Thats a big boat" because there is no way to translate the play on words. She cracked up the first time she heard that!
I wonder how often lines arent translated well in other movies.
Do you know of any other examples of poorly translated movie lines? What is your favorite line from Finding Nemo?

Finding Nemo is one movie that different from the other animation films, i love holywood's animation films, they are so fun and interesting, the first animation i saw is Mickey Mouse, but Finding Nemo not only make me laugh, but also move me to tears, especially when the little Nemo leading the fish to get out of the fishing net.
