  • About the Film

    In the colorful and warm tropical

    waters of the Great Barrier Reef, a Clown Fish named Marlin lives safe and secluded in his anemone home with his only son, Nemo. Fearful of the ocean and its unpredictable risks, he struggles to protect his son. Nemo, like all young fish, is eager to explore the mysterious reef. When Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from home and thrust into a tacky dentist’s office fish tank, Marlin finds himself the unlikely hero on an epic journey
    to rescue his son.

  • The Story Process

    Part of the inspiration

    for Finding Nemo can be traced to writer-director Andrew Stanton’s childhood memory of the fish tank in his dentist’s office and his sympathy for the fish. Another piece came years later, when Stanton was the father of a five-year-old boy and realized the danger of being an overprotective parent. Between the two memories, Stanton had the emotional anchor for the film, and the Pixar team had the perfect new realm for a CG adventure.

  • The Characters

    In Finding Nemo

    the supporting characters drew inspiration from classic movies: Gil was given Clint Eastwood’s squint, Bloat was based on George Kennedy’s character in Cool Hand Luke, and the Tank Gang borrowed the neuroses of the characters in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

  • The World

    "I grew up in Massachusetts,

    by the sea, and I remember going to my family dentist, who had this funky fish tank in his office. All kids are attracted to aquariums, and I remember staring at this tank and thinking what a weird view of the world this must be for the fish—it’s like flying into Las Vegas and that’s your first view of America," recalls writer-director Andrew Stanton.

  • The Pitch

    "During A Bug’s Life

    (Andrew Stanton) started toying with an idea for a feature film. “Well tell me, tell me, tell me,” I said. “No, let me think about this for a little while,” he answered. Finally he got to the point where he said, “I’m going to tell you this story I’ve been thinking about.” He continued with an incredible one-hour story pitch that was riveting, emotional, funny—a story about a father and son. After the pitch he said, “John, what do you think?" I said “You had me at the word fish.” — John Lasseter, executive producer
