The Academy Award-winning creators of 'Toy Story,' 'A Bug's Life,' and 'Monsters, Inc.' dive into a whole new world of computer-animated fun, fantasy, and heartfelt emotion with this splashy underwater adventure. The film follows the comedic and eventful journeys of two fish, Marlin and his son Nemo, who become separated in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken from home and thrust into a fish tank in a dentist's office overlooking Sydney Harbor. Buoyed by the companionship of a friendly-but-forgetful fish named Dory, the overly cautious father embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic journey to rescue his son - who hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely home. Written and directed by Oscar nominee Andrew Stanton, who co-directed the 1998 Disney/Pixar hit 'A Bug's Life' and is credited as co-screenwriter on all four of the previous Disney/Pixar features, 'Finding Nemo' sets a new high water mark for the art and technology of computer animation with its incredible underwater world populated with memorable characters.
