![]() ![]() Written and directed by Oscar® nominee Andrew Stanton, who co-directed the 1998 Disney/Pixar hit A BUG'S LIFE and is credited as co-screenwriter on all four of the previous Disney/Pixar features, FINDING NEMO sets a new "high water mark" for the art and technology of computer animation with its incredible underwater world populated with memorable characters. ![]() With the clock furiously ticking and numerous forces at play, the father and son remain oceans apart in their efforts to reunite. But time is running out the dentist's rambunctious niece Darla (a destructive dynamo who has been known to shake her pet fish until they go belly up) is set to pick up Nemo the next day.Īrriving at Sydney Harbor, Marlin and Dory get a major assist from Nigel, a friendly pelican who has also heard the amazing stories of this brave clown fish searching for his son. With Gill's encouragement and motivated by a strong desire to return to his father, Nemo moves forward with a daring escape plan. Nemo is surprised and thrilled when he learns of his father's search for him. Word of this heroic clown fish travelling the ocean in search of his son even reaches Nemo back in his tank. ![]() Their adventures become the stuff of legends, and soon fish and fowl alike are buzzing about this extraordinary pair. The duo also have a close encounter with a blue whale, surf the East Australian Current (EAC) with a herd of hip sea turtles, and fend off an attack by ravenous seagulls, as they make their way to Sydney Harbor. Marlin and Dory soon find themselves in troubled waters contending with such hazards as a trio of sharks (embarked on a self-help program to improve their image from mindless eating machines) a mesmerizing-but-deadly angler fish and a tangled forest of jellyfish. When Nemo is officially initiated into the gang, he rekindles Gill's dormant desire to escape. The other tank-mates include: a starfish named Peach a temperamental blowfish named Bloat Bubbles, a bubble-obsessed yellow tang a germophobic royal gramma named Gurgle a compulsive cleaner shrimp named Jacques and Deb, a black and white humbug damsel fish who believes that the reflection in the tank glass is her identical twin sister, Flo. The leader is a tough moorish idol named Gill, who also came from the ocean and dreams of one day returning. Meanwhile, in a dentist's office overlooking Sydney Harbor, Nemo has landed in a fish tank that is home to a colorful group of characters. Together, this aquatic odd couple set out on an impossible mission. The only problem is that Dory has severe short-term memory loss and forgets things as quickly as they happen. ![]() As he passes a school of fish, he literally bumps into Dory, an agreeable blue tang who offers to help. Marlin's sinking feeling turns to desperate action as he frantically swims off in search of his son. When Nemo defies his father and swims beyond the reef's awesome "drop off" to investigate a boat, he is suddenly scooped up by a diver as Marlin helplessly watches. When it comes time for Nemo to leave the protective shelter of his sea anemone home for the first day of school, Marlin nervously accompanies him and agonizes over his every move. And for Marlin, a single parent determined to protect his only son, Nemo, there are constant fears and anxieties. Life along the Great Barrier Reef is full of dangers when you're a tiny clown fish.
