The babysitter chases the boss baby down the street, having to navigate multiple obstacles, until other babies come and stop him.
Dory, Marlin, and Nemo are on their way back to their home when fisherman in the area scoop up many fish, including Dory. The boat starts to hoist the net and the fish out of the water. Nemo tells his father, Marlin, that the only way to save Dory is for all of the fish in the net to swim down. After all of the fish swim down together, they break the net and free themselves and Dory.
A fight breaks out, and Isaac Newton watches the quarrel and draws conclusions about forces based on his observations. Each boy is considered a mass, and each of their pushes is a force. At the end of the scuffle, Newton labels his conclusions "The Laws of Motion." This clip is an excellent depiction of Newton's laws of motion in a real-world context.

The crew on the ship prepare to perform a "flip and burn" manuever. This manuever puts an intense toll on the crew, as they need to strap in and inject themselves with some fluids during it. This clip illustrates that the effects of gravity and acceleration should be indistinguishable.
