In a summer packed with larger-than-life characters like the Terminator, the Hulk, and Neo, few expected that the season’s box office champ would star a tiny fish. However, that’s exactly what happened, as Pixar’s quiet little Finding Nemo emerged as the season’s highest-grossing movie.Īt the film’s start, we meet two clownfish: Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Coral (Elizabeth Perkins). They have babies on the way, but a barracuda attacks and apparently kills Coral and all the eggs except one. After Coral’s wish, Marlin names the sole survivor Nemo, and the movie soon jumps ahead to Nemo’s (Alexander Gould) first day of school. Nemo’s excited, but the overprotective Marlin frets about his son’s well being. When Nemo meets some new classmates, they show him the “drop-off”, the point at which their domain goes into the open ocean. When Marlin’s overweening nature embarrasses Nemo, he swims out there, where a human diver bags and takes away the little guy. Marlin chases the diver’s boat but can’t catch it. He then literally swims right into another fish named Dory (Ellen Degeneres). She offers to help him find Nemo, but she has short-term memory loss that makes her forget things almost instantly. Nonetheless, the pair start off on their search to locate Marlin’s son. In the meantime, we discover that a Sydney, Australia dentist (Bill Hunter) bagged Nemo and placed our little friend in his office’s aquarium. The dentist plans to give Nemo to his niece Darla (LuLu Ebeling), which sounds fine except the bratty little girl’s death on fish. Nemo meets the gang in the aquarium, a group led by Gill (Willem Dafoe), another fish who originally came from the sea. Gill comes up with a plan to get Nemo and all the others out of the aquarium and into the ocean. The rest of the movie follows the dual plotlines. While Gill and the others attempt to forestall Nemo’s probable demise at the hands of Darla, we see Marlin and Dory swim through the ocean. They piece together various clues to get to Sydney, all with the help – and sometimes opposition – of various sea critters they encounter along the way.Įver since I saw Toy Story back in 1995, I’ve been in the bag for Pixar’s feature films.
