AboutWhat does the meme depict?

"Mine! Mine! Mine!" Seagulls is a reaction image meme featuring a group of seagull characters from the 2003 Disney-Pixar animated film Finding Nemo. These seagulls, depicted as minor antagonists, are shown in a still image where they intensely gaze towards the viewer while repeatedly shouting "Mine!" to claim ownership of anything they set eyes on. This scene captures the moment the seagulls encircle the main characters Marlin and Dory, claiming them as potential prey.

OriginWho did it first?

The 'Mine! Mine! Mine!' Seagulls meme originates from a specific scene in the Disney-Pixar film Finding Nemo, which was released in 2003. In the movie, Marlin and Dory are attempting to escape from a brown pelican named Gerald at Sydney Harbor. Just as they are about to be swallowed, another pelican named Nigel, who knows of Nemo's safety, intervenes. In their continued attempt to escape, Marlin and Dory stumble upon a swarm of seagulls, which, upon spotting the fish, repeatedly utter "Mine!" intending to claim them as prey. The hilarity and the chaotic pursuit that ensues make this scene memorable. The scene has since been captured as a reaction image, first gaining notable online traction through a post on Reddit by user Simon_Killface on January 12, 2012. The meme is also featured in this Youtube video.^[1]
