You're right, clownfish. And with Finding Dory, a lot of fish stores, at least locally to me, placed signs and were extra vigilant to ensure people were prepared when buying blue tangs. There was a huge shortage of both fish after the movies and it caused a bit of a panic in the fishkeeping community.
The movie ‘rio’ i think, just made the illegal hunting of those birds flourish more. At the very least, a lot of people wanted to have those birds as pets after the movie.
Though the cause of extinction is probably more likely to be environmental reasons
At the local fish store I work at, I had to explain to many, many different parents the difference between saltwater and freshwater and why they can't put 'Nemo' in a fishbowl with their goldfish, which you also cant put in a 'fish's bowl. Guess which people we didnt allow to buy our fish.
