Finding Nemo is about a fish named Nemo who tests his dad (Marlin) with his “lucky” fin. After Coral (Nemo’s mom) and all the other little fish get eaten by a big fish, Nemo is the only one left. Marlin does anything and everything to find his only son Nemo. Some of the risks he takes are putting up with Dory (a fish with short term memory loss), fighting off three hungry sharks, talking to a group of fish that makes fun of him, swimming through millions of jellyfish, riding the EAC (Easy Australian Current) with a bunch of sea turtles, and surviving a lot of racing seagulls. Once he knows where Nemo went he is determined to find him no matter what he’s faced with. Albert Brooks is the voice of Marlin, Ellen DeGeneres is the voice of Dory, and Alexander Gould is the voice of Nemo. Nemo is one of the main characters and he is daring, nervous, shy, determined, funny, and also very loving. Marlin is another one of the main characters and he has many traits. A few of them are that he is very determined, over-protective, short-tempered, tries to have a sense of humor for a clownfish but it doesn’t happen, and forgiving. Dory is a fish that you just have to love no matter what she says or does. Some of her character traits are that she has short-term memory loss, she can be very annoying, optimistic, caring, sociable, and very loyal. Marlin and Dory are being motivated by all the sea creatures they encounter to help them find Nemo. All the fish in the tank at the dentist’s office are helping to motivate Nemo to get them all to escape back to the Big Blue. One of the major themes of the movie is that you should never give up no matter what you get faced with. When critics say that Finding Nemo is for all ages they mean it because my family and I all sit down to watch it we can all enjoy it. I think Finding Nemo is one of the best movies that Disney and Pixar ever made. Overall I love it and I wouldn’t do anything to change it. But maybe they could come out with a second movie so viewers can keep enjoying it.
