Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Hans de Beer's books were mandatory childhood reading in Germany; this sequel quietly exported that specific Mitteleuropa melancholy to global audiences.

Trivia

Oliver Petszokat, who voices Nemo, was a massive German pop star in the late 90s—imagine casting Justin Timberlake as a cartoon tiger dad.
