==History==
===Finding Nemo===
Nigel flies to the dentist's office. The Tank Gang explains about dentistry to him. Nigel hears the dentist after his words. The dentist often shoos him out from his office, believing he wants to eat the fish. The next day, he and the other sea creatures and pelicans hear Marlin's story about why Nemo is lost. Nigel gets a crab off his wing and fetches it to the seagulls. Later that day, he visits Nemo again in the dentist's office. He tells the Tank Gang the story of how Marlin lost Nemo and is looking for him. The next day, he takes Marlin and Dory to rescue Nemo after avoiding the angry seagulls and helping his friend Gerald, who had temporarily tried to eat them. However, he recognizes them, and offers to take them to where Nemo is. When they arrive, they learn from the Tank Gang that the dentist is about to put Nemo in a garbage can. Marlin orders Nigel to go in, but he refuses, which the determined clownfish says "Oh yes you can!" and pulls him in by grabbing his tongue. He then flies around the office, causing chaos by making the dentist drop the bag onto the tray Nemo is in. On seeing Nemo in the bag, Marlin and Dory were worried as if he's dead or not. They try to have a look but the dentist eventually grabs Nigel and shoves the pelican out of the window. Nigel then brings Marlin and Dory back to the water. He apologizes to them, saying "I'm so sorry... truly I am", and then flies off. This is the last we see of them, but seeing as how he heard the story of how Marlin had been travelling the ocean to save Nemo, which had been passed along by many different sea creatures and is how he shared the story with the Tank Gang, odds are that he also eventually heard about how Nemo and Marlin were reunited shortly afterwards..
