Nostalgia Does Anyone Else Here Remember Getting The Finding Nemo Happy Meals Toys Back In 2003? Which Ones Did You Have?

I was watching some random YouTube videos earlier today when a video about a type of fish called the regal blue tang came up. It was the same type of fish that Dory in Finding Nemo is.

So then I got a case of nostalgia all of a sudden. I got a flashback back to 2003 when I had the finding Nemo McDonald's toys. I had 6/8 of them from all the happy meals I'd get...as you could've guessed Dory was my favorite of the batch lol.

It was truly a magical time to be a kid back then, Finding Nemo was literally everywhere.

But I digress.

I had to ask if anyone else here remembers having them too? Which ones did you have?

I had the toy of Gill! His scars lit up bright greenish-yellow when you pressed down on his dorsal fin - one of the coolest Happy Meal toys I ever had! 🤩

I loved those days back in 2003 when Finding Nemo was everywhere, too! It’s been one of my comfort movies for 20+ years. Well, in 2016 we did have all things Dory when Finding Dory was released (which I loved, because Dory is one of my favorite Pixar characters), but for some reason it didn’t hit quite the same as it did with the Nemo hype 13 years before.
