I agree that Finding Nemo is a great character driven movie. The whole plot is formed off of one clown fish’s decision to prove his father wrong. Marlin and Nemo, a father and son with some difference in thoughts. After Marlin’s wife and their eggs were eaten, he has been especially protective of Nemo, who is the only surviving egg. Nemo has a small defective fin but manages to swim just fine. He wants to get out and explore like any other young person. Nemo is captured by some scuba divers, we learn that they are dentists, and he is put in a fish tank. The rest of the movie we spend following Marlin on his quest to find his son. He meets odd characters including Dory, a forgetful fish, and vegetarian sharks. I agree the theme of the movie is about father and son relationships. It’s also about children growing up and moving out. The voices for a movie, Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks, do an excellent job of bringing fish to life and making them relatable to people. Finding Nemo is a movie that is worth our time and money. It is a great film that both old and young will enjoy. -Karyn O.
