Crush (Finding Nemo)

In Finding Nemo, Crush is a 150-year-old turtle that helps Marlin and Dory. He's a laid-back and smart animal who opposes Marlin's neurotic views on parenthood. Crush demonstrates to Squirt, his kid, that he trusts in him and is happy with his freedom, rather than continuously afraid for his safety. Crush's relationship with Squirt, is based on mutual respect and stands in stark contrast to Marlin's urge to protect Nemo at any cost.

Crush isn't the major character in Finding Nemo, despite having only a few scenes, everyone adores him. His laid-back attitude, along with his surfer man lines, makes for a number of hilarious moments. In addition, he is an endearing father figure.
