Clownfish are interesting critters.

They're born genderless and remain that way until adolescence, when they will group up and fight it out. The toughest, strongest of the group then BECOMES the female, with the 2nd toughest becoming the male, and the rest remaining genderless.

If the dominant female is removed from the group, the male becomes female, and the next in line becomes the male.

The transition is a one way street, from genderless -> male -> female, they can't go backwards.

The relevancy of this wall of text is this - In the Disney/Pixar movie Finding Nemo, after Nemo's mother is killed, Nemo's father would have become his mother.

But, that wouldn't be very Disney, even by modern standards of what it means to be Disney... at least not yet.

That is interesting  cooldude But as far as Finding Nemo, I doubt it would have been a blockbuster if every parent had to try to explain all of that coming out of the theatre.  Smiley

Serk, you, like Disney, may be trying too hard to equate human experience with that of the clownfish.  I say this in reference to the idea of Nemo's father becoming his mother (Oops! I said his).  I don't believe the clownfish experience a family, mother, and father relationship beyond the necessary operations of inseminating and birthing.  The one who bore Nemo, alive or dead, would always be the one who bore Nemo.  The one who provided the matching genes would still be that one whether or not it was capable of doing that again.  Come to think of it that's not too far off the human experience.  We are still our children's father even after we are no longer capable of fathering more.

I get your point, I think.  Disney distorts the characters and representation of nature itself to match their intended message.  We do that a bit ourselves, don't we?  Good pirates.  I could guess that a significant number of us are not what Disney would want us to be if they're expecting good pirates.

A friend of mine on Facebook pointed out that the sigh says "good" pirate, not "successful" pirate.   2funny
