A great addition to the Pixar brand

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2016)

One of Pixar's original successes was the fish adventure, Finding Nemo. The story follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) a clownfish who has developed a great fear of the open ocean after his wife and all of his eggs are destroyed by a barracuda, except one, Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould). The story picks up on Nemo's first day of school. He has a small fin due to the accident at his birth. Marlin is anxious about letting his son go but stunts his growth and prevents him from having experiences.
Nemo grows frustrated with his overprotective parent and swims out to touch a boat, hilariously referred to by the other young fish as a butt. Nemo is captured by a scuba-diving dentist and whisked away to Sydney, Australia. Distraught, Marlin sets out to find his son. He encounters Dory (voiced by Ellen Degeneres), a blue tang with short-term memory loss.
