When Nemo is taken from the sea, and therefore from Marlin, he refuses to give up on finding his son. Nemo is the only surviving fish egg, which explains why Marlin is so over-protective off him. However the reasoning behind this serious character is evident in the opening scene of this film, which shows his wife, Coral, and his hundreds of fish egg offspring being attacked and killed by a shark.
In fact there are many characters throughout the film who ask him to tell them a joke since as he is a clownfish, he must be funny. Marlin is Nemo’s father and despite being a clownfish, he is the most serious character in all of the film. Nemo is a very sweet character and is determined not to give up on being reunited with his dad. Nemo fits in with the tank gang quite easily and quickly becomes Gill’s little sidekick. The majority of the film shows Nemo in a dentist’s fish tank, having been captured by a scuba-diver at the start of the film. Having been attacked by a shark when he was still an egg, Nemo was born with a bad fin which is smaller than his other fin, making it more difficult to swim. He is very excited about his first day of school and doesn’t like when his dad tries to keep him from doing things. Nemo is a young clownfish, son of Marlin. John Ratzenberger as the school of moonfish.Geoffrey Rush as Nigel, an Australian pelican.Joe Ranft as Jacques, a French-speaking Pacific cleaner shrimp.Vicki Lewis as Deb (and her sister, “Flo”, Deb’s reflection), a four-striped damselfish.Allison Janney as Peach, an Ochre starfish.Brad Garrett as Bloat, a porcupine fish.Ellen DeGeneres as Dory, a Pacific regal blue tang.Alexander Gould as Nemo, a juvenile clownfish, Marlin’s son.Albert Brooks as Marlin, a clownfish, Nemo’s father.The story then follows Marilyn and Dory in their desperate attempt in finding Nemo. What Marilyn does not know however, is that Dory has amnesia and therefore has no short-term memory. Marilyn then meets a fish named Dory who says she knows where the boat went, so Marilyn, slightly relieved, follows Dory to the boat. However he is determined to follow the boat, asking as many fish as he can if they know where the boat went. Marilyn frantically tries to chase after the boast in an attempt to save his son but it is of no use. It is then Nemo is taken by a scuba diver and taken away in the boat. Although reluctant at first, Nemo decides to swim all the way to the boat in spite of his father who is over-protective of Nemo and worried about his injured fin. At school, Nemo makes friends who decide to play a game of chicken to see who can swim closest to the boat (or ‘butt’ as they like to call it!).
Nemo is ready and excited to begin his first day of school, despite a reluctant Marilyn wanting him to stay home for another year. Nemo was the only offspring to survive, however he was left with him with a small right fin thus leaving him unable to swim as quickly and for as long as other fish. This is due to the fact that he lost his wife Coral, and several of their fish-egg children when a shark attacked their home. This film depicts the story of Marilyn, a clownfish, who is quite over-protective of his son Nemo. Pre-production of the film began in 1997, and Stanton began working on the screenplay during post-production of A Bug’s Life. In 1997, Stanton took his son for a walk in the park but felt that he was being over-protective which lead him to believe he has lost an opportunity to have any father-son experiences on that day. This obviously left a lasting mark on Stanton, and we see the relationship between Marilyn and Nemo stemming from his own experiences with his son. As a child, Stanton loved going to the dentist (crazy boy) to see the fish tank where he assumes the fish were from the ocean and wished to return home. Director Andrew Stanton was inspired to create this film given his own life experiences. Anyways back to the point. This film actually has one of the most interesting backgrounds I have come across so far in this series. Needless to say my family weren’t too impressed. I remember getting the DVD as a present when I lost part of my hearing (temporarily) and I was playing is so loudly (cause I couldn’t hear it obviously) and it was the middle of the night. Can you believe this film is 10 years old?! This makes me feel really old. I am back with another instalment of my Pixar series, this time with what is possibly my favourite Pixar film ever… Finding Nemo.įinding Nemo is the fifth animated feature film from Pixar, which was released in 2003, and directed by Andrew Stanton.
