Storyline

A clown fish named Marlin lives in the Great Barrier Reef loses his son, Nemo. After he ventures into the open sea, despite his father's constant warnings about many of the ocean's dangers. Nemo is abducted by a boat and netted up and sent to a dentist's office in Sydney. So, while Marlin ventures off to try to retrieve Nemo, Marlin meets a fish named Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. The companions travel a great distance, encountering various dangerous sea creatures such as sharks, anglerfish and jellyfish, in order to rescue Nemo from the dentist's office, which is situated by Sydney Harbor. While the two are doing this, Nemo and the other sea animals in the dentist's fish tank plot a way to return to Sydney Harbor to live their lives free again. Written by Anonymous

Goofs

The instrument that is used by the dentist that is mentioned in the movie is called a "gates glidden" instrument not a "gator glidden drill". It is also mentioned that the dentist uses it to access the root canal. It is not used to access the root canal but rather to clean and shape it. The proper instrument that is used for endodontic access is a carbide bur. See more »

Great stuff.
6 June 2003 | by (pembroke,massachusetts.) – See all my reviews

One of the best animated films I have ever seen. Great characters, amusing animation, and laugh-out-loud humor. Also, watch for the little skit shown after the credits. It's all great stuff that simply must be seen.
