Just Keep Swimming

"Just Keep Swimming" is a song from the 2003 Disney/Pixar animated film, Finding Nemo and its 2016 sequel. It is Dory's signature song, which she uses as a mantra to calm herself, and give herself the strength to never give up. It was taught to her by her parents. The song was not included in the film's soundtrack nor in the sequel's soundtrack.

Appearances

Finding Nemo

The song is first sung when Dory and Marlin swim towards the Abyssopelagic Zone to find the mask while Marlin constantly gets bothered. It is briefly sung by Dory again during the end of the film when Marlin tells a group of groupers caught in a fishing net to swim downwards as the groupers break the giant fishing net.

Finding Dory

In one of the flashbacks, Dory's parents Charlie and Jenny taught their daughter the song when she was a baby fish. Later in the present in the touch pool area at the Kid Zone, Dory tells Hank to keep swimming, just like what her parents taught her in which Hank tells her it is too dangerous to move because of the children touching the animals. Suddenly after Dory sings while guiding Hank to escape, dozens of eels warn Dory and Hank about Poker's Cove, the part in the touch pool where animals usually get touched.

Trivia

• In the widescreen disc of the 2003 Finding Nemo, Dory (offscreen) constantly chants "Just keep watching" (still the same tune of her signature song) repeatedly while Marlin (also offscreen) tells the viewer to remove the disc from the DVD player so that the viewer can stop hearing Marlin and Dory talking.
• The application, Finding Dory: Just Keep Swimming, is named after Dory's signature song.
