The Misrepresentation of Nemo

Have you ever noticed the gross misrepresentation of Nemo? There is merchandise galore out there featuring Dory & Nemo. But, for most of the movie, Dory spent her time with Marlin, not Nemo. So why do the merchandisers insist on putting Dory with Nemo and not Marlin? Why not show father & son with Dory in the background? Why not Dory & Marlin?

Poor Marlin. Major film star and he still gets slighted on the merchandise. Sure, the movie is called, "Finding Nemo," but it's Marlin that leads the drive to find him. Marlin is the breakout star, yet Nemo gets all the royalties. Poor, poor Marlin.
