I'd like to ask

Can we add in more than just the positive reviews this movie has in the Reception section.

A lot of people have often said things like "it's not as good as Finding Nemo, but it's still a great movie,"

Can we add in the negative reviews it got? Austin012599 (talk) 14:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Short-term Memory Loss

I noticed that in the article, short-term memory loss links to anterograde amnesia. However, I do not think she was intended to have the later condition. Not only is she able to remember some things and thus doesn't appear to have the condition, but I cannot find a reliable source equating short-term memory loss with anterograde amnesia. More over, anterograde amnesia is known for NOT affecting short-term memory. Ganondox (talk) 08:13, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like an editor made a WP:OR diagnosis of what the fictional condition was and linked to something they considered a match. Doesn't really enhance the plot description as the term is somewhat self-describing and the linked article about a real condition doesn't match the fictional condition used for story purposes. Best to remove the link. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:36, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Geraldo Perez. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:38, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The octopus that nearly broke Pixar"

I believe that's the title of the Special Feature featurette about how difficult it was for animators to create, manipulate, and render the seven-legged octopus. Apparently having one fewer leg/arm actually slightly eased the challenge. It might be useful to add something about this to the Production section.
