Andrew Stanton, who helped write
Toy Story and
Monsters, Inc., co-wrote and directed this computer-animated
comedy-
adventure about finding a very small fish in a very large ocean.
Marlin (voice of
Albert Brooks) is a more-than-slightly paranoid Clown Fish who is extremely devoted to his young son,
Nemo (voice of
Alexander Gould), the only survivor after an undersea predator swallowed up
Nemo's mother and her other offspring. It's not
Marlin's nature to explore unfamiliar waters, but when he and
Nemo are accidentally separated near the Great Barrier Reef en route to
Nemo's first day of fish school,
Marlin gathers his courage and sets out to find his son. What
Marlin doesn't know, however, is that while
Nemo was looking at a boat passing on the surface, he was caught in a net and given a new home in a dentist's aquarium. As
Marlin searches for his son, he makes friends with a friendly but absent-minded Regal Blue Tang named
Dory (voice of
Ellen DeGeneres), a Great White Shark named
Bruce (voice of
Barry Humphries) who is trying to cut fish out of his diet, a beach-rat Sea Tortoise named
Crush (voice of
Andrew Stanton), and
Nigel (voice of
Geoffrey Rush), a Pelican who can take
Marlin's search from the ocean to dry land.
Finding Nemo's impressive voice cast also includes
Willem Dafoe,
Allison Janney,
Eric Bana,
Stephen Root, and
Brad Garrett.
