Marlin (Albert Brooks), a clown fish, is overly cautious with his son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who has a foreshortened fin. When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver, and horrified Marlin must set out to find him. A blue reef fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) -- who has a really short memory -- joins Marlin and complicates the encounters with sharks, jellyfish, and a host of ocean dangers. Meanwhile, Nemo plots his escape from a dentist's fish tank.

Namrata Joshi Outlook Most of all, Finding Nemo is a touching tale which reassures you that even though things may look bleak, it will all turn out well in the end. Rated: 3/4 Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Neil Norman London Evening Standard Finding Nemo offers as much in terms of thrills, frights, humour and psychological insight as it does in pure technical skill, proving that a movie can be art without being an "art" movie. Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Sukhdev Sandhu Daily Telegraph (UK) A splendid eco-friendly comedy set in the Great Barrier Reef. Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Pixar's Finding Nemo elevated their already visionary and pioneering output to the thematic level of Hayao Miyazaki. Rated: 4/4 Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review Easily Pixar's most colorful and joyous movie. Rated: A+ Sep 18, 2021 Full Review Sarah Brinks Battleship Pretension Finding Nemo teaches the classic Pixar/Disney lessons about the importance of family, acceptance, kindness, and love, but it also an exciting tale of adventure, overcoming adversity, and teamwork.
