** The film's [[DVDCommentary Visual Commentary]] presents an extended take on the sea cucumber and mollusk story from an Creator/AlbertBrooks recording session dated March 2002:
-->'''Marlin:''' Well, I actually, I do know one that's ''(chuckles)'' pretty good. A mollusk swims up to a... No, no, he doesn't swim up, what is he...? He was already there. And a sea cucumber is-is... standing next to him. They don't stand. They grow in one place, but they do lean. Let me start over. There was a sea mollusk and a sea cucumber. And they were both... They were both... Well, they were-- They were like friends. No, no, they didn't know each other. 'Cause now, one's gonna ask something that a friend wouldn't know. Um... The sea cucumber looks over to the mollusk. Right? And, he doesn't really look, he sort of glances. Actually, he was in the middle of a sneeze. That's sort of the important thing 'cause you gotta imagine the sea cucumber sneezing. So he sneezes, and then you know the way you do when you sneeze, your head sorta turns accidentally somewhere? So he looks over to the right and he sees the mollusk. And so, he looks at the mollusk and he says, "Hey, not during low tide." ''(laughs under his breath)'' Y'know, I didn't get that exactly right. See, let me tell you something: the mark of a ''really'' funny fish, the joke doesn't have to go exactly right. It's ''delivery!''

He says that if he showed the story through Trumpkin (the last chapter ended with Trumpkin saying he'll tell the children what had happened) it would take longer as he'd have to stop for all the interruptions. So he takes over for the time being, and then the next chapter begins with the children reacting to the finished story.

Example: "Why didn't character X do THIS?"; the next update, the characters try that, only to have it fail, or they ask themselves that and come up with an answer.
