The sound comes from Pixar's Finding Nemo, released in 2003, where a flock of seagulls on a Sydney harbour buoy spots the clownfish and immediately starts shouting mine. The scene became one of the film's most quoted moments, and the simple chant was easy to quote, imitate, and remix. Online, creators lifted the short chant for reaction videos and memes because it needs no context: one repeated word instantly signals selfish excitement. Its brevity and cartoon energy explain why it still circulates decades later.
About this sound
The Finding Nemo seagulls chanting mine over and over in a short, frantic loop, perfect for reaction videos and memes about claiming something first.
This clip captures the excitable seagulls from Finding Nemo squawking the word mine again and again, each repetition a little faster and more insistent than the last. Their high-pitched, overlapping cries pile on top of one another until the simple word turns into a chaotic chorus of greed and excitement. It instantly reads as a joke about possessiveness, whether someone is grabbing the last slice of pizza, stealing a friend's charger, or refusing to share a game controller. Because the voices are cartoonish and instantly recognisable, the sound lands as lighthearted rather than aggressive, turning an ordinary moment of claiming something into a funny, exaggerated punchline.
