While Marlin ventures off to try to retrieve Nemo, Marlin meets a fish named Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. The companions travel a great distance, encountering various dangerous sea creatures such as sharks, anglerfish and jellyfish, in order to rescue Nemo from the dentist's office, which is situated by Sydney Harbour.
While the two are searching the ocean far and wide, Nemo and the other sea animals in the dentist's fish tank plot a way to return to the sea to live their lives free again. That's a lot of space to find one fish. Animation Adventure Comedy Family. Did you know Edit. Trivia Andrew Stanton pitched his idea and story to Pixar head John Lasseter in an hour-long session, using elaborate visual aids and character voices.
At the end of it, an exhausted Stanton asked Lasseter what he thought, to which Lasseter replied, "You had me at 'fish.
Goofs Marlin and Dory are advised to swim to the back of the whale's throat and to be blown out of the whale's blowhole.

Top review. Remember back when you were little. In those days, Disney animated films e. But disaster strikes as Nemo is taken by a Sydney dentist and plopped into a fish tank where he is comforted by a host of other captive fish William Dafoe, Vicki Lewis, Allison Janney, et al. But back in the big ocean Down Under, Marlin has resolved to search out his one remaining progeny. The two must surmount hurdles like a group of sharks Eric Bana, Barry Humphries and Bruce Spence that have mostly sworn off eating other fish, a nasty swarm of jellyfish, a bird-brained flock of seagulls, and others.
This is the bridge! Well, in a way. Marlin, Dory, and Nigel arrive at the office and are horrified to see Nemo dead. Gill saves Nemo from getting thrown in the trash can instead of the potty and helps Nemo escape the dentist's sink. Marlin, depressed, thinking that he broke his promise, determines to go home, meanwhile, Dory becomes forgetful again until she meets Nemo.
When she reads Sydney on a water tube, her entire memory suddenly returns and helps Nemo finds Marlin by forcing a crab to tell where Marlin went. With is information, Marlin and Nemo are reunited, but moments later they find that Dory is caught in a fishing net.

After their adventure, Marlin is now not nearly overprotective of his son knowing he can look after himself. Dory also spends a lot of time with the two, and she accompanies Marlin as he takes Nemo to school.
As an epilogue, the fish in the dentist's fish tank is shown to succeed after a fashion in their last escape attempt after sabotaging the filter. However, they are still in their plastic bags, floating in the water. In a post-credits scene, a quivering Blenny overcomes his fears and consumes the Anglerfish in a single bite. The inspiration for Nemo was made up of multiple experiences. The idea goes back to when director Andrew Stanton was a child when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home.
In , shortly after his son was born, he and his family took a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom which was called Marine World at the time. There he saw the shark tube and various exhibits he felt that the underwater world could be done beautifully in computer animation.
Later, in he took his son for a walk in the park but found that he was over protecting him constantly and lost an opportunity to have any "father-son experiences" on that day. Pre-production of the film took place in early The artists took scuba diving lessons so they could go and study the coral reef.
The idea for the initiation sequence came from a story conference between Andrew Stanton and Bob Peterson while driving to record the actors. Ellen DeGeneres was cast after Stanton was watching The Ellen DeGeneres Show with his wife and seeing Ellen "change the subject five times before finishing one sentence" as Stanton recalled. There was a pelican character known as Gerald who in the final film ends up swallowing and choking on Marlin and Dory who was originally a friend of Nigel.
They were going to play against each other as Nigel being neat fastidious while Gerald being scruffy and sloppy. However, the filmmakers could not find an appropriate scene for them that didn't slow the pace of the picture down, so Gerald's character was minimized. The water and lighting effects for Finding Nemo were far more complex than any other project previously attempted by Pixar.
Water is particularly difficult to animate since its motions are extremely complex and splashes can have thousands of individual drops. Pixar relied heavily on particle simulation techniques developed during the production of Monsters, Inc. Pixar also reused some of the "auto-rusting" functions from the Pipe-o-Matic program used for the factory scenes in Monsters, Inc.
Although the presence of human characters in the film was minimal, there is a significant improvement in photorealism over the human characters from Monsters, Inc. Certain marine communities suffered from the introduction of predatory and venomous species in unnatural locales, resulting in, once again, ecological imbalance.
In fact, Le Calvez first wrote the story as a screenplay in , but was unable to generate interest in the concept. Disney Pixar. Subscribe to our Newsletter! Of course, many viewers and critics still don't place Finding Nemo among Pixar's best offerings. The Atlantic 's own Christopher Orr, in his self-described "moderately heretical view," considers Nemo to be a lesser Pixar hit.
Still, though—after watching the studio release far-less-beloved fare like last year's divisive Brave and 's disastrous Cars 2 , it's easy to wonder whether critics and audiences didn't realize just how insanely good things were at the time.
It's hard to say whether that's how Finding Nemo earned its modern-classic status. Perhaps it did become easier to appreciate the "good old days" of one-after-another Pixar hits once the studio's historic streak began to fizzle.
Or maybe Marlin, Dory, and Nemo just really did grow on audiences and critics over time. But there's reason to believe the recent decline of Pixar has had something to do with it.
By the time the s arrived, critics had seemingly re-calibrated the standards by which they judged the films emerging from what was now called Disney-Pixar.
