About Finding Nemo

Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to his worrisome father Marlin and a friendly but forgetful fish Dory to bring Nemo home -- meeting vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more along the way.

Our take on Finding Nemo

Pixar's 2003 favourite sends an anxious clownfish across the ocean to rescue his captured son, helped by a forgetful blue tang named Dory. Bright, funny and surprisingly moving about the courage of letting your child grow, it's a perfect family adventure. If its warmth and humour charmed you, the great Pixar films and buoyant animated adventures share its blend of laughs, beauty and real feeling.
